Senior photos in Salem

Looking for some senior photos in Salem? Check out my portfolio at AdamPhotographic.com.

I shoot a mix of modern minimalist with some classic beauty and comic art perspective thrown in. If my work appeals to you, drop a line via my site and let's schedule a shoot.

Environmental executive portraiture

www.adamphotographic.com

Last month was ironic. I finally closed my photo studio, not for lack of business as much as because most of my recent work was outside of the studio.

I used to use the studio as a crutch – a place where I could control most aspects of every shot. I have learned to use the external environment more in recent shoots and have taken to using client's spaces to dictate color within my most recent stuff.

What makes it interesting for me is working within a less controlled environment, using available and motivated lighting.

After several shoots on location, I find that people are far more at ease in an environment in which they are comfy. Keeping that in mind, I may pick up some additional environmental portraiture work in the future.

Until then, I have two photo projects in the works. After putting together a portfolio of my fashion work, I saw some additional opportunities that I wish to explore. I have never shot for a portfolio of work on a given project, but after listening to lenswork, I decided to give it a shot.

Details aren't 100%, but I think an 8.5 x 11 series would be easiest from a production perspective and would allow me to focus on the photos. Maybe I will get it printed by Asuka or get another lost-luggage port.

One of my photos will be on a poster for a big state bridge project on the Astoria Megler Bridge. You can check out some of my black and white fine art prints at www.adamphotographic.com.
