Digital Background Magic
One Of These Photos Is Not Like The Others

I had a fun shoot at Clark Machine in Baltimore the other day. They wanted some headshots for a website revamp, but they didn't want their photos to look stiff and corporate. These guys are not pushing pencils-- they're doing stuff like fabricating sections for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge!
So instead of photographing everyone against a studio backdrop, we worked outside at their Baltimore City shop with heavy equipment in the background. Unfortunately, one of their employees wasn't able to make it the day of those shoot, and we were working in December with few decent weather days for a …

Earlier this year (before "the 'rona" took over our lives) I had a fantastic photo shoot with the folks at Knowledge to Practice. K2P helps our docs stay current on the latest medical training and research (For example, did you know that gargling with bleach is not actually good for respiratory tract infections? Nor sadly is vodka.)
They were a really nice bunch of folks to work with and I was very happy with their headshots. After the portraits, I photographed their team in action to give them some extra imagery for their webpage.

My Photo Shoot With Kittelson And Associates

It's not often that I get offered a beer at a headshot shoot, especially not at 10am, but Kittelson and Associates is an exceptionally friendly place. The company is based in Portland and has translated their kind Pacific Northwest vibe to Baltimore. My job was to take some portraits to match the existing style for their offices all over the country.
