The pictures from your phone suck. You may know this, and you probably don’t want to admit it. You bought the phone because of it’s awesome camera, super low-light, and cool “portrait mode” features that turn “the world into your studio.” But there’s one thing your phone can’t do for you: frame the shot.

What do you do when you have a free afternoon and a rented a7iii on hand? You call up some friends and shoot!

Photo series from a visit to Uxmal

Portside Productions teamed up with Teradek and the Seattle Based band, Simple Gravity, to make a short film showing off Teradek’s Live:Air app. I tagged along to capture behind the scenes moments and lend a hand with lighting.

Inspired by my favourite coffee recipe < Café Picante > is my go to look for fall sessions. Black cocoa, cinnamon, and red chile flake.

My cousin arranged a charter boat to take a group of us tuna fishing near San Diego. We loaded up in Mission Harbour, north of San Diego, and travelled all night out to San Clemente Island.

I swear, the light never looked bad. You can’t take a bad picture in this city.

There's a specific time when your picture should have a white backdrop. That time is when you have to renew your passport. You see it over and over. Every other LinkedIn profile picture you see has a white backdrop with an evenly lit face. If you want to look like everyone else, copy them.
