Immy

Here are a few portraits from a self-assigned shoot I did earlier this month with the exceedingly photogenic Immy.

 

Canoe guru Ralph Frese

Last month, for Canoe & Kayak magazine, I was very fortunate to meet and photograph the legendary canoe builder Ralph Frese, who sadly died on December 10th. When I dropped by his store and workshop on November 20th, he was a little tired, but full of life, and quite the wisecracker. I had a great time shooting his portrait and listening to him talk about his life and work. He’ll surely be missed by many.

Amsterdam: Ab Baars

I shot this portrait of composer and musician Ab Baars just around the corner from his home in Amsterdam, as part of my series on improvisational musicians. For my trip I decided to keep things very simple regarding gear; I brought one camera and one lens, and no other equipment. Most of the pictures in this series are shot only with available light, including this one. It’s a fun challenge to try to find captivating light outside at night–there’s something magical to me in the serendipity.
