Photography

Over a decade behind a camera.

Property, product, events, and the businesses behind them. Below that: landscape and drone work, a festival archive coming back online album by album, and motion.

Real estate

Property that has to sell itself.

Cabins, homes, and land. Interiors that show the space honestly, exteriors shot when the light is doing the work, and aerials when the property is the story.

Product

Things people make, shot to sell.

Handmade furniture, small-batch goods, and catalog work. Clean cutouts when the product is the whole story, and real settings when the buyer needs to picture it in a room.

Events

A decade of festivals, and it shows.

Stages, crowds, art, and the quiet parts in between. Shot fast, in bad light, without getting in the way. Full albums are coming back online below.

Landscape

Land, weather, and a drone.

Personal work, mostly. It is also the fastest way to show you what I do with light when nobody is telling me what to shoot.

A country road curving away through trees in full fall color — Country road, fall

A waterfall over basalt columns with a sunbeam breaking through the forest canopy — Forest waterfall

A still creek under autumn trees with golden light reflecting on the water — Creek in fall

Business and crew

People, working.

Crews on the job, owners in their own element. The kind of photographs a business actually uses: on the site, in the proposal, on the truck.

An arborist roped in at the top of a trunk with a cut limb suspended beside him — Arborist at work

Two crew members in hard hats going over a laptop on a job site — On the job

Around home

The work close to the house.

I live in farm country and shoot for the people in it. Schoolhouses, workhorses, storefronts, livestock. Plain work, done properly.

The inside of a one-room log schoolhouse with wooden desks and skylights — One-room schoolhouse

A harnessed horse trotting along a country road in summer — Harness horse
