Hi, everyone. Long time no post, I know--the book project has been taking up almost all my time lately. I just wanted to post to let you know I'm starting up an Instagram account for 16 Degrees Studios just as a way to try to get back into the swing of things--reposting some of my favorites I've posted here, as well as future work. I'll be - would love to have you follow and follow you back, of course! And if you have any favorites from previous sets you'd like me to post there and tag you in to help drum up some new followers for your professional pages as well, let me know (through DM, email, or even in the comments below if you'd like). Thanks!

First outdoor shoot in a while. Great working with the always amazing Jamie Lynne (I think this officially means we've shot a set for every season!). Thanks for powering through a day that turned out a lot colder than we expected. Had such great mysterious winter lighting.

Hey, old friend Sterling Arts & Design and his Whoba Fett cosplay is featured on Nerdist this morning! (Glad to see 16 Degrees Studios credited for the photo, but really all the hard work is done by the guy in the helmet. We just pointed the camera and let things happen.)

What kind of Doctor would Boba Fett be? Cosplayer Christian Hegg, a.k.a. Sterling Arts and Design, has me pondering that all important question today. He has a costume that mashes together Star Wars and Doctor Who, and I have no problem picturing the bounty hunter traveling through time and space. O...

This page has been quiet this year (other projects were pulling me away from photography) but in November a friend and frequent photography collaborator asked if I'd shoot her wedding. Such a warm, lovely event. Wanted to share a few images here.

A very big congratulations to the wonderful couple!

I'm in the process of uploading folders of photo shoots from previous years to my website (16degrees.smugmug.com) for backup (after one too many external hard drive backup failures/scares, it's just time to move older shoots to the cloud). It's remarkable how many really great people I've met through the years in this business. If you've modeled with me previously and no longer have access to photos from our shoot or shoots, let me know--I'm currently uploading everything into private storage, inaccessible to anyone, but I can provide a password-protected link to any models or clients who would like an updated gallery. Just send me a private message and let me know.

I'm looking thousands and thousands of photos to upload and I'm basically going in alphabetical order, but if you're looking for a shoot in particular, I'm happy to bump someone up the list if they have a need for their portfolio.

Sometimes you go out on a photo assignment and you stumble across something eerily beautiful you never expected.

Hello, everyone. I know this page has been quiet lately--some of you know that 16 Degrees has been on the back burner as I've been focusing on The Indestructibles series. But I just realized it's both comic con/convention season AND Halloween is coming up... and I happen to be between books. So I thought I'd offer to set up some TF costume/cosplay based shoots throughout the fall.

Do you have a particularly dynamic Halloween look you're putting together? Or did you build a great cosplay for one of the August conventions you want to document in photos? Maybe you've got something planned for one of the shows in October or November you want some shots of before the show? Shoot me a message and we can set something up.

I'll also be at a couple of conventions in October and November with camera--I'm going informally to scout them out for the book series, but I'm happy to set aside some time for a quick shoot while I'm on site at the shows. Additionally, as many of you know, I'm based in Salem, so if you have plans to go into town in costume during October, it's possible to set something up while you're in the area as well.

A few more shots from last week's shoot with Joey Phoenix Photography. The landscape was almost fairytale-like in how barren it was. Loved the contrast of the red dress and instruments against bare trees.

Thanks to the always wonderful Joey Phoenix Photography for stepping in front of the camera on a cold February afternoon for this musical, mystical set.

A colleague is casting a model or actress for a mock movie poster concept and I offered to help spread the word. It's a sci-fi/superhero concept (think those character posters on display at movie theaters right before a new action movie is released). Looking for:

"Medium build,strong features, can emote a strong presence but still can be kind. Blonde hair slightly preferred for this character/concept but not required."

I can put you in touch if you're interested--private message is best.

I haven't been posting much lately, because my focus the second half of this year has been weddings and baby portraits, and I'm extremely careful about sharing images from either of those types of shoots because they're often so personal. But this shot I had to share.
