As I mentioned last week, I’ve been utilizing my iPhone a bit more lately for scouting, idea capture and in general, just another way to boost my creativity a bit. One of the challenges that I’ve faced with the iPhone, however, is how to get my photos off the phone and onto my [...]
Since I don’t have much in the way of interesting visuals to show off this week (damn, I need to get away from my cube so I can shoot more!) I’m going to do a few brief posts about my workflow for those of you who are curious.
I tend to shoot a lot, probably too [...]

Whenever I see photos being used around the office I try to see if it’s something that I could do, and if possible I try to convince the designer to hire me to shoot what they’ve comped up before they purchase it [...]
I did a quick shoot yesterday in the office of a employee for the firm’s website. We needed a casual, seamless shot like most of the photos I’ve been taking. She was a bit nervous and, like most people that I’ve shot, she said she was terrible at getting her picture taken. I assured her [...]
