EatingWell Magazine Tastemakers | Steve Alameda | Editorial

The best part of this job is getting to know so many amazing people's stories.  Steve was no exception.  Not only is he an extremely hard worker, but one of the most genuine and hilarious individuals I've had the opportunity to photograph.   Within seconds of meeting Steve on his farm in Bard, California I knew we would get along.

Desert Warriors | Mounted Archers | Environmental Portraits

When you get the opportunity to work with the desert warriors, you jump on that!   Alex reached out to me with the idea for a fun day at the track/range where they practice a unique sport called mounted archery.  If you thought shooting a bow and arrow was tough, or maybe riding a horse a little difficult, try combing them.  These are some talented people!

EXOS | Club Solutions Magazine | Phoenix, AZ

In december I was hired by Club Solutions Magazine to photograph the founders of EXOS, an elite athlete training facility.  I had heard of EXOS, and couldn't wait to see behind the curtain of this elite facility.  I was not disappointed with what I saw.  When I arrived a week before to meet with the marketing coordinator and scout the location I knew this was unlike any "gym" I had ever seen before.  The first indicator was that every person who walked through the front doors looked like an olympian.  I came to find out they were actually olympians.  Gold medal track and field olympians at that.

"Don't make me look like a lobster."

That was the only request from Jeff before we started shooting.  You could say his previous headshot on Linkedin wasn't as flattering as he would have liked.  With his one request in mind, I reassured him nobody would be mistaking him for seafood after I was done with him!

Why are headshot sessions so much fun?

It's not technically challenging subject matter to photograph.  You nail your lighting set up / camera settings and can basically forget about your camera all together.  And that's the beauty of it.  Headshot sessions allow you to focus 100% of your energy interacting with your subject.  That's why I love shooting them.
