Author, editor, photographer and general ne'er-do-well.
I help out as a second shooter for my wife, owner of Lisa On Location photography (www.LisaOnLocation.com). My skill set falls into the "Jack of all trades, master of none" realm I suppose. I enjoy shooting landscapes, glamour portraits, conceptual and macro photography, although I can't claim any great skill beyond a general competence. I tend to gravitate toward mildly experimental work when left to my own devices. My failures vastly outnumber my successes. I'm big into infrared photography, which is something of a specialty of mine. With human subjects, I am attracted to interesting use of lines, curves, texture and mood, even if I don't always manage to include those. I'm always looking to try something new and collaborate with confident, creative individuals.
