It has been a tough week for my hometown. We lost two wonderful elders of the community, women who really shaped the town and made it a unique and loving place to grow up in. I’m grateful to have known you both, indulging me when I was a child and later in life when I convinced you to sit for portraits. Sending condolences to the families.

My #chiaroscuro #portrait of my #tattoo artist, @tommytoe, taken impromptu style in the hallway of her studio. #portraitphotography

Seiko has sat for me a bunch and has become somewhat of a muse. She is starting to get into photography herself, so I might be on the other side of the camera the next time we meet. Taken while in Japan and lit with the #Profoto A1 flash and a travel-sized umbrella. #chiaroscuro #portraitphotography

My #portrait of @_mar1po5a_. A little less #chiaroscuro style than normal. I was playing around with a 3’ octabox - very large for me. Produces lovely softness, I recommend trying one out if you haven’t already. My favorite modifier is a travel-sized octa. What’s yours? #portraitphotography #studiophotography

This #chiaroscuro portrait was taken with the new @nikonusa Z7 camera and the 50mm S lens. #studiophotography #portraitphotography #lowkeylighting

This shoot didn’t actually go as planned. My lights mysteriously stopped working properly and I nearly panicked. I rolled up the garage door and worked with ambient lighting only. If ambient was good enough for the master painters, then it’s good enough for me! This #chiaroscuro #portrait is of a good friend from my hometown. Father to @ameliadissay. #portraitphotography #studiophotography #lowkeylighting

They grow. The first set where taken in 2013 with a Nikon D800, Speedlight flash, and 24-70mm. The second set where taken this year using a D850, a Profoto A1 flash, and a 58mm. Both times these sisters were rewarded in Skittles. Some things never change. #chiaroscuro #childportraits #family #lowkeylighting #sisters @seiko_hashi @daddyrjkl

My #chiaroscuro portrait of a new friend @knickershatesyou introduced me to. I work out of a very humble garage studio in the country but he was fully into the shoot and so professional. Very lucky for clients like these. 1-light setup with just the tiniest of fill from a reflector. #portraitphotography #studiophotography #lowkeylighting

My #chiaroscuro #portrait of my little cousin. Being a little intense must run in the family! Lit with 1 light on the go (kids don’t often sit for very long). See my lighting tutorials via profile link. #portraitphotography #childphotography #studiophotography

Maternity portraits are usually light and airy with an exposed belly and big smiles. Those are lovely but it’s even lovelier when your friends trust your style. #chiaroscuro #painterly #maternityphotography #lowkeylighting #portraitphotography

A rare ambient-light-only #portrait from me. Gotta shake up your routine sometimes! #portraitphotography #headshots | See @adamrandall503 in Point Break Live in Portland this month.

This little one and her sister are much older now. Hoping to do a follow-up portrait soon! Lit with a travel octobox and flash. #portraitphotography #chiaroscuro #painterly

My #chiaroscuro #portrait of my uncle, taken during a quick visit using a small octabox, flash, a 50mm, and Nikon D800. #travellight #familyfirst #portraitphotography #painterly

Simple 1-light portrait. The closer your light source, the softer your results (just watch your exposure). Helpful to remember if you’re traveling and stuck using a smaller modifier than you’d like. See more in my profile link. #portraitphotography #painterly #chiaroscuro

My #portrait of #taxidermy artist @abernathyjillian, taken inside an old schoolhouse. Lit with the @profotousa A1 flash, which is super portable and easy to use. #portraitphotography #roguetaxidermy

Another still life I did to demonstrate mixing ambient and artificial lighting. Mastering mixed light, like mastering mixed voice in singing, will really open up creativity. See tutorials in profile link. #studiophotography #chiaroscuro #painterly #stilllifephotography #lightingpractice

My still life vanitas. Tutorial for how I did this can be found in my profile link. Happy Halloween! #fineartphotography #painterly #skull #vanitas #halloween

Mother & child #chiaroscuro, taken with 1 light on location. #portraitphotography #painterly #lowkeyphotography
