Triptych art pieces

One of the most classic art groupings is the triptych, or simply, three photos of the same size together. It is a classic way to present your urban art in your home and it allows you to display your art in a variety of different configurations. On a wall, you can display them all at the same height or if you would rather place them along a staircase, you can stagger the height to follow the same lines as the stairs.

These three photos were displayed in the great sitting area of the Schroeder family. I love how they look and how they changed the look of this room.

Babies

Photographing babies is somewhat like fishing with a net. When fishing with a net, you through out your net in a prime location and hope you get something. When shooting babies I make sure they are all fed, happy and a bit sleepy. Turn the heat way up (like 80 degrees) so they feel all comfortable and happy. Then I shoot like a madman. Time is of the essence with babies. Everyone knows they can have a short fuse.

And what happens when you do all of this? Pure magic.

Creating a timeless urban look

This photo is from a fantastic shoot of Kiah. This was taken with a 40mm lens at f/1.7. I prefer to used focal lengths that are in the ‘mid’ to ‘short’ range. It has only been recently that camera makers have been able to make quality wide angle and telephoto lenses. If we go back 30-40 years most photography was done in the mid-wide to short telephoto range. What does this mean to you when you hang art on the wall? By staying with the more classic lenses we’re able to give our photos a more timeless look.

The photo below could have been taken yesterday or it could have been taken 40 years ago. I used a special desaturated technique to further enhance its timeless feel.

Urban Art Portraits – A slideshow

admin — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 00:05:02 +0000

We’re very good friends with, probably, the top slide show company in the world, eMotion Media. This allows us to do a few things. First, we can create HD slide shows that will play in full HD on any TV or mobile device. And, yes, they look great on iPhone’s, especially the iPhone 4. Additionally, we can create great-looking DVDs for those in your family who may not be up to speed on the whole HD, thing.

This slide show I created after a great walk in the Pearl, downtown Portland, OR. We walked down Flanders street and up Davis – so many great locations and so many great backgrounds. I hope you love the show.
