This home-based business-owner wanted both headshots and full length shots of himself that he could use for marketing and on his website.
This assignment was for a major marking campaign for the trade association that represented the company this woman worked for.
The objective of this assignment was to produce an attractive environmental portrait of the subject who rose to fame as the result of his revelations regarding a Capitol Hill scandal. The subject specifically stated before the assignment that he would not pose with a laptop or computer (which was the mechanism by which he rose to fame) which severely limited any conceptual ideas.
The clients objective was to have images of the founder of an organization whos mission is to serve injured veterans, on Capitol Hill for images that would be used later in community outreach. It was explained to me that the client was a unique individual who was very gregarious.
The objective was to capture a nice image of the President and German Chancellor during their visit to the Bush ranch in Crawford Texas. The Chancellor and her husband came to see the President in a much more informal setting than would be at the White House, but it was important to me that there be something that places them there. A ranch house would have been nice, so too, livestock, or something “ranch-y”. Yet, I was on hand to document what happened, so my ability to control anything was limited to my position.
I as looking to make a nice portrait of presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. I was with him at a town hall stop, and wanted to make a nice portrait of him.
While working on an assignment to cover this well known public figure’s recent book publication, and her appearance on a news radio program, the opportunity presented itself to make a nice portrait of the subject. It was my objective to do so. I took it as an opportunity to challenge myself, and my abilities to make a nice image.
The call came in at 1:30 on a Friday, while I was gathered with several photographer friends at our local Pho restaurant, and the assignment was for the upcoming Sunday. 
The objective was to illustrate the safety and benefits of getting s little spray in one’s nostril as opposed to being jammed in the arm with a needle. Our young subjects were to be happy as they received their vaccine.
The objective was to cover the client’s event, and get the sponsoring organizations’ logo into as many images as possible, since we didn’t know which image(s) would be used down the line, each needed to have it.
The objective was to cover the visit by the President to this annual gathering, prior to the annual Book Festival.
The objective here was the same as the debate for the democrats from back in June, for the same client – capture everything that’s happening front of house, and behind the scenes.
The objective was to document the first flights out of my local airport of a new airline with routes from DC back to San Francisco, where the company is based. I needed to document the check in process as well as the aircraft, and ribbon cutting ceremony.
The objective was to photograph the reception and on-stage awards presentations for this client at the Mellon Auditorium.
The objective was to capture the guest, a well known comedian, being interviewed, along with the client’s logo/signage.
The objective was to capture images backstage with guests and the artists, as well as with the performers on stage, for the sponsoring client.
The objective was to cover the client’s coverage of the presidential debate in Chicago, on Solder Field. Trekking out to Chicago was not on my “to do” list this week.
The objective was to follow the client around Capitol Hill as they met with their representatives, and do posed photos for their walls back home.
The objective was to document a highly regarded auto racing driver during a visit to the client’s studios.
