Lifestyle portraits have always been a passion of mine, whether it involves an automotive enthusiast, skateboarder or a World War Two veteran that I've traveled the world with. I shot this natural light portrait right after sunrise this morning.

A little something...

I will admit, I've had a very hard time with AI and how quickly it is advancing and having an impact on our industry as creatives, especially those of us who are product photographers. What I have found though, is that in small doses, I really do enjoy creating aspects of an image that would otherwise involve steps that are colossal tasks and extremely time consuming.

Here is a simple, but elegant creative piece I shot in the studio this afternoon.

A step back in time...

I’ve always been fascinated by history. So, naturally as I became interested in automotive photography, this fascination pulled me toward classic and historical cars, specifically those from the 1930s and 1940s, with their Streamlined Art Deco inspired lines, long bodies and stunning silhouettes. At this period in time, the automotive industry pushed toward larger, more powerful, yet more fuel efficient designs. It was man and machine.

A love for Art Deco architectural design also grew deep within my soul, thanks to beautiful buildings like Cincinnati’s Union Terminal train station, an Art Deco gem that architectural lovers around the world flock to see in person.

This image brings many things that I love and enjoy together: good friends, vintage fashion, Art Deco architecture and yes, the beautiful 1947 Plymouth Sedan.

A space...

I’m going to use this space as a place to dump ongoing projects, past creative work and future ideas/plans.

Here are a few creative pieces I worked on with some companies this year.
