About Me

I'm a Minneapolis based photographer focused on weddings, portraits, and urban cityscapes. I pride myself on being a bit of an eclectic who takes an interest in all manner of people and places and travel a fair bit, so I try to include other elements of my work into my blog. My work tends to use a modern style with a mind toward drawing out the edges in life. I draw inspiration in my portraiture from Greg Gorman, Herb Ritts, Platon, and a handful of other masters of the art.

Whether your a new fan or an old friend, please be sure to leave a comment or drop me a line, I appreciate the feedback or just knowing who I'm reaching on the web. Thanks for checking out my work!

Thanks!,

Downtown Minneapolis Skyline at Sunrise

Oct 31, 2009 Posted in Twin Cities

After Chris and I finished up our headshots, I headed out onto the balcony for 10 minutes to capture these images of sunrise. I had hoped to catch the lights of the the future home of the Twins, Target Field (top right of the first horizonal field below)… but the lights turned off about 10 minutes before it was bright enough to take a picture of the city. If the Twin’s marketing guys ever happen to read this, be sure to keep those lights on around sunrise / sunset (free marketing from anyone who happens to be photographing the city at the most beautiful time of day…)
