The Shadow Knows
About
Je suis un lifestyle portrait and wedding photographer based in Seattle, Washington shooting wee-ones, beautiful couples, high school seniors, precocious canines, conceptual editorials and the occasional bowl of fruit.
Please visit my blog or my fancy portfolio site.
One may find it a bit funny that I'm pimping myself as a photog these days, but that's where the passion lies. Ya see, I've been an audio engineer/producer for close to 15 years running and have recorded a ton of forgettable bands, several memorable ones and have even got some gold and platinum rekkids hanging on the wall with my name on 'em.
To me engineering recordings and making images are very similar... Each takes a certain discipline and savvy in the technical world, yet critically depends on a need to execute the artistic element.
Here is a laundry list of the bands/records I can remember working with after retiring a bottle of wine with McWife and a guest:
