First off if you’re looking for a professional Denver Photographer please take a look at my portfolio.
I know really this is a photography blog, and should really be showcasing my photography work, but I just can’t seem to get enough of this whole digital painting thing. Honestly this is some of the most fun I’ve had creating artwork in a really long time. I don’t know what it is about doing this form of painting that has me so entranced. It seems like every day I come home with a new “project” of something else to paint. It’s really been a lot of fun. Read more...

So I recently bought one of those Wacom pen tablets. I really wish I would have done it sooner. It has been so much fun playing with this thing! I love how I can make really awesome looking brush strokes on a digital canvas. It’s totally wild. Now I do have the advantage of using photoshop CS5′s new Mixer brushes, and I have to say I’m totally amazed by how great they look. Honestly it’s like painting with a real brush in your hand. It does take a little getting use to with the whole hand eye coordination of making strokes on something below the screen while watching it happen on your monitor. Sadly I’ve been too busy playing with digital painting to try my hand at some really cool dodging and burning. Using pressure sensitivity on a pen to simulate exposure up and down is going to be really cool, I just don’t have any shots in my library that I really want to do that with. Read more...

It’s so rare that I shoot nature photography. I never seem to be able to find something that I like enough, or is abstract enough, or has enough character to shoot. I find people so much more interesting to photograph. So much character. Human emotions are something interesting all by themselves and capturing that is so much fun. But I’m always looking for ways that I can branch out a little bit, and expand my photography. Now I don’t think I’m going to get into the business of selling nature photographs anytime soon, but nature photography has its own challenges. For me my main problem is deciding on a subject. A flower is a perfect example. It’s obvious what the subject is. My problem is finding that subject in an interesting setting. something that makes that subject stand out. I find myself taking pictures of dead flowers a lot more than living ones. Somehow a dead flower tells a story. I can’t always say that for living things. Read more...

I can’t believe how inspired I’ve felt lately. Not only to create amazing portraits, but also to do some abstract work, which I haven’t done much of lately. I’m finally starting to get more free time, and feel less stressed out at work, and thusly my photography prospers because of it. I love creating, and it can be especially fun with abstracts when you have such a blank canvas it becomes difficult to find focal points, and put meaning into shots. So instead I just try and make them look cool. Just kidding. Even with my abstract shots I try and put “emotion” into them. I realize that my abstract photography might not always have that “emotion” in it, or that other people might not see it, but I do. Most of the time. Although sometimes I do just like it because it looks cool. Read more...

I know it’s rare that I put up something so abstract on my blog, but every once in a while I see an abstract shot that I really enjoy. This is one of those cases. I rarely do abstract photography anymore. I’m far too busy doing portrait photography, which is really my main passion. But when I first got into photography I did a lot more abstract photography than portraits. I mean honestly how many times can you take a picture of your friends before they start to get annoyed.
