Camera: Canon 5D MKII w/Canon 24-70 f/2.8L lens
Setup: Image created in client's home. Main light to camera right, fill light (patio door) to the left
Software: Photoshop
General Info:
The only story I can think to add.. is more advice than anything. When photographing animals, it is critical to
approach the portrait remembering animals have very distinct personalities, just like us. Patience, and an
understanding of the animal/breed is critical to knowing what you’ll get, and likely how you’ll get the
expression you’re after. I create portraits that capture the animal’s personality,
as opposed to the look/build of the breed.

"Nepali Sadhu"
Printer: Epson Stylus Pro 4800
Medium: Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper
Camera: Canon EOS 20D - Canon 70-200 mm @ 200mm @ f/5.6
Location: Kathmandu, Nepal
Software: Adobe Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5
General Info:
Sadhus are Hindu ascetics, or wandering monks.
There are 4–5 million sadhus in India and Nepal today and they are widely respected for their holiness, and
sometimes feared for their curses. It is also thought that the austere practices of the sadhus help to burn off their
karma and that of the community at large. Thus seen as benefiting society, sadhus are supported by donations
from many people. However, reverence of sadhus is by no means universal in India. Historically and
contemporarily, sadhus have often been viewed with a certain degree of suspicion, particularly
amongst the urban populations of India.

"Ruby Beach"
Printer: Epson Stylus Pro 4900 HDR
Medium: Ilford Gold Fiber Silk
Camera: Hasselblad SLR, Zeiss 120mm f/4 lens
Film: Fiji Acros B&W
Scanner: Minolta Multi-Pro
Software: PhotoShop and QuadToneRIP
General Info:
I captured this image while looking into the setting sun at Ruby Beach in 2005. The upper left corner of the negative
shows my palm protecting the lens from direct sun. My palm shadow was cloned out.
What I like about the picture is the way the tree fits into the space in the rocks and the 3D layering that the haze
at the ocean provides. It all seems to have just the correct rhythm.
