Alternative Portraits

About alternative portrait sessions
Welcome to my world. These are where I exercise my artistic passion. Although without rules or a niche, much of my creative freedom ends up brooding, moody, and a little unclear. Most of these portraits are captured with our network of camera-centric creatives in Portland, Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest. We do not push these styles for client work, but gratefully accept any creative projects and are happy to receive opportunities often.
If your vision goes beyond the standard portrait, reach out, and we can assess if your needs require additional team members and props, and let's make a plan.
We love a challenge and new creative topics, so don't be shy. Sessions are not limited to the galleries below; true organization is non-existent.
All portraits qualify for general portrait pricing ($300-$1000). Additional services may be required if your theme is complex.

The vision
They dreamt they could hold a memory in the palm of their hands. A fantasy, even.
They sought to immortalize a moment and the moments in between moments.
To steal it from thin air or build it from imagination.
So do I.
