Confident Portraits, and the Confident Photographer

July 18, 2014 by admin | Comments Off

I photographed Noam Chomsky and Alex Haley back in 1986 as a photojournalism student. My liberal arts education, along with each assignment building on another, now numbering in the tens of thousands; allow me to work confidently. These experiences instil3UPBLOG confidence and trust with all manner of people and personalities, and it comes through in the image.

Bishop Timothy Doherty

I was honored to receive a call from the incoming bishop of the Lafayette Diocese a couple years ago.
I made a series of portraits, and this friendly view is what the bishop chose as his favorite. Another more sober view made on black and white film was printed in the darkroom by me and now hangs in the chancery.
I have seen this portrait hanging in many churches and halls around Indiana.Bishop Doherty

These portraits were created a while back for the LSO. I really enjoy classical music, especially from the Russian composers, Sergei Rachmaninoff is my favorite. Specifically: Prelude in C sharp minor, Op. 3/2.

Formidable Portraits -Coach Gene Keady

July 17, 2014 by admin | Comments Off

This is an older portrait created for editorial use in Gene Keady’s last year at Purdue. Working with formidable people, and pleasing an art director at the same time is always a challenge. This isn’t the photograph I would have made if I were untethered, but a fitting portrait of a successful and loved coach. I uncovered it from the huge archive I have while looking for another decade old image.
