Nearly all the work done by the studio involves people in front of the lens in some respect, even though what they are wearing or using may be the focus of the image.  These images capture the essence of the subject, a beauty that most people only see in a fleeting glance. That one moment where the observer sees the true beauty of a person that makes them realize a special feeling of love, admiration, joy, awe, intrigue or any combination of these powerful emotions. These are the sensations that I feel through the lens. 

I am always interested in meeting fellow photographers, Make-Up Artists, Stylists, Models etc to network, discuss our art, and make great contacts in this business. If you are a model or stylist in or around the Portland area send me a message or leave a comment. Even if I do not require your services at this time, I am sure I know someone who does.
