Virtual Portfolio Showing
As most photographers, I’ve had numerous portfolios over the years. Some good, some bad. Last summer, I hired Paper Chase to print three, 11×17 inch portfolios and was very happy with the results.

Something New
Yesterday brought on a new experience for us at the studio. We were hired by an agency to direct and shoot a project titled, ‘The Red Chair Interviews’. It was unique in the fact that this was the first time I’ve been asked to interview my subjects. I’m usually standing behind the camera not sitting [...]
