Green Bay Wisconsin Photographer • Chasing Ships Through The Frozen Waters

Being a Green Bay, Wisconsin-based commercial and editorial photographer with easy access to the Great Lakes, I find myself out on the water photographing not just on assignments, but also for times I need to get out there and be creative. Most people think of being out on the water shooting as a warm weather thing, but to...

Busy Month of June • Wisconsin Commercial Photographer

It was a busy month of June shooting for some high profile clients, but sometimes the disadvantage of shooting for high profile clients is non disclosure agreements and not being able to use the photos for things like your web site and social media.  The month did finish off with a portrait session for one...

Associate Appreciation Photography • Corporate Identity Photography

One of my favorite corporate photography clients has a very strong visual corporate identity. Schneider, a Green Bay, Wisconsin based trucking company, is known for their orange trucks and trailers. As a photographer, I love having that orange truck as a background for portraits; that truck was my background for recent driver and executive portraits. As part of their associate appreciation week, Schneider wanted to open up the opportunity to the rest of their associates to have a portrait done with a truck. Here is a large sample of some of those portrait shots done in one day with the help of some great Wisconsin fall weather.

My assistant and I kept things simple with just two lights, a main and a hair light. We also kept the subjects in the shadow of a large scrim to reduce the effects of the harsh sunlight and to reduce squinting. When you shoot portraits of a 150 subjects in one day, you don’t have a lot of time to get to know the subjects and make them feel comfortable in front of the camera; with our limited time, I think we did a great job.

Schneider will be giving the photo files to the associates as a thank you to be used for things such as social media profile photos or Christmas card photos, as a few of the subjects mentioned. So if you get a holiday card this year with a big orange truck in the background, it may have come from this shoot.

Green Bay Wisconsin Aerial Photographer • Winter Aerial Photography

Earlier this week I needed to do some aerial photography for a client in Green Bay, Wisconsin.  The minimum rental for the Cessana 172 was an hour so I decided to take the spare time after I completed the clients photos to fly around the snow covered rural landscape near Green Bay and the waters...
