Seattle Central Creative Academy: Photography Assignment (Butterfly Portrait)
January 17, 2012 by 3 Comments
The assignment here was to create a commercial portrait focusing on butterfly lighting. To do this you place the key light directly in front and above the subject’s nose in order to create a shadow effect directly underneath the nose that resembles a butterfly. Three other lights were used in this portrait of an “Arctic Explorer”; a fill light to camera right nearest the camera, a hairlight at three-quarters rear camera right, and a background light on a black seamless at camera left 90 degrees from the subject.

Photo Essay: A Peace Walk – Dublin to London
January 8, 2012 by 2 Comments
Last night I met a gentleman who works at a nuclear submarine base. He’s been stationed in Bremerton for the past two years. I inquired why? Because his nuclear vessel ran out of its nuclear fuel, and it takes three years to make more: Two years to make it, one year to refuel the sub (while being continuously guarded by high-security personnel).
This strikes me as odd, dangerous, reckless, and another example of our country’s staple ingredient to its industrial military complex.
The following photography essay was captured a few years ago during a three-month peace walk from Dublin, Ireland to London, England calling for a nuclear-free civilization.
