I've been toying with what my photographic style is for awhile now. When I my first camera arived in the mail I never would have thought I'd later get so involved in photography. It was a small but powerful Canon G2. It was actually shipped to me directly from japan and the package was so cool I almost didn't want to open the box and mess it up! Now, several years later I do photography as a strong hobby and am wanting to push that into the professional bracket. While trying to think up marketing ideas and how I would promote myself I asked myself, “What kinda of photography do.. I do?”. So here I am going to write down whatever come to mind over the next few weeks and try to think up what my style is. Perhaps.. What I want my style to be. Over the last few years I toyed with different types of photography as I am sure most do. I'm not a landscape photographer, that's for sure. I don't do sports events either, not only am I bored with sports I'm bored with even the idea of photographing them. I've done four weddings now and while I feel I did okay, I don't think I won any awards and it was somewhat stressful for me to do them. I think I was more nervous then the groom! My last wedding went well though, after I got going I ended up having a good time there. It was a fantastic group of people and a wonderful couple. They wrote me one of the best cards I have ever be given and it sits on my bookshelf today. One day I ended up photographing a bar downtown. It was so full of color and design elements I just dreamed of photographing it! I talked to manager there and they allowed me. Since then that's all I've been interested int doing. My whole life I have loved wild and intense colors and exciting people. Just what you find at these downtown bars and clubs. So right now that's my style. There's an added bonus, I get to go to clubs, dance, drink 'AND' do photography. I make friends with lots of bar/club managers and that has it's benefits too. I have some desire to learn portrait photography, but I'm not there yet. Maybe later.

I like color, every color - LOTS of color. I don't do B/W photos, don't ask me to do them.

I like photos with a high level of contrast. This gives them a pretty unnatural look but I like it.

I spend a lot of time moving sliders around in photoshop/lightroom with any picture I like. I'll toy with stuff for hours sometimes trying to find some “Cool” mix of color and contrast. My photos look photoshoped too - Not in an air brushed sorta way but in a crazy wild color sorta way.

Yea, about that color.. Lots of it, I tend to crank saturation way up in most all my photos.

Bars, Clubs? Dancing? Low light? There's going to be blur and I like it. I try to capture just enough blur so you can see the movement.
