Danger Death Ray Band Shoot

Again I present to you the Portland pop punk band Danger Death Ray. They got their name from an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (or MST3k for us hardcore fans) which is amazingly awesome in and of itself. Ryan (the tall one) is a part time security guard at a very old and very cool church in downtown Portland. We had unlimited access for the shoot and had such a blast. As I've said before, I love doing band shoots because I can really push myself creatively in ways that just don't work with families or weddings.

Enjoy!

This weeks photos are from an event I shot last week for the Wilsonville Youth Sports banquet. The grainy contrasty black and white look is inspired by the amazing work of Leo Patrone (is contrasty even a word? :). It was such a fun event to shoot and I think it shows in the pics. Enjoy!

I recently was asked to shoot a cooperate event at Adidas for the international press to introduce some of their new NBA shoes. Any one who knows me knows what a huge basketball freak I am so the chance to photograph an event like this was a dream come true (just short of actually shooting a Blazer game:). Not only was the presentation absolutely spectacular but a few of the Blazers were invited to meet some of the press and shoot some hoops. The next several days will feature photos of the event.

(This photo is of one of the NBA's VPs being interviewed...how cool is that?)
