A Passion for Riding

October 15, 2020  •  1 Comment

I photographed Rob because of his love for riding his motorcycle. He told me, "I always say that when I am on my motorcycle I know exactly why a dog hangs his head out the window!" Riding is his therapy, how he unwinds. Retired from the National Guard, Rob is an adventurer at heart. I love to photograph people like him who have a passion in their heart for the things that they love to do.  Layn
 


Business Exterior

What time of day should I photograph a building?  I get the best results when the sun is setting, almost gone, and the building's lights come up and you get this amazing blue sky. To give the building some grandeur, I also shot it from a low angle so you are looking up at it. Layn 


Food Photography

You sell what you show. If you make mouthwatering burgers, show 'em off!  I captured this image for a Mandan restaurant, and was really happy with how it turned out. We styled the burger loosely so when I photographed it, I was able capture all the layers of the sandwich, not just the bun. Layn


Go Wide for Cover Photos

April 09, 2019  •  2 Comments

I encourage my clients to use tight images that fill the frame when they are posting on social media. When you are scrolling through Facebook or Instagram, most people won't stop and click on your photos to make them bigger. There is an exception to that rule, your cover photo on your business or event page. Going with something wide allows you to adjust the image to fit the frame without cutting off details on the top or bottom or the image. This photograph gives you a good look at the arena, the bronco rider in the midground shows some of the action, and the earth in the foreground could even serve as the backdrop for some event details.

Enviromental Business Portrait

March 27, 2019  •  1 Comment

environmental business portrait I shot this for a magazine and it really is one of my favorite images that I have photographed recently. I love the story it tells with the owner of the lumber yard on the right side and the materials in the background showing where he works. It's a great example of an environmental portrait for a business. To keep it looking natural, I used the light coming in through an open door with a little flash to highlight the left side of the face. Layn
