Assignment...

There are a lot of good photographers out there. What makes you decide on who to hire? Is it cost, style, experience, trust, compatibility? I believe it is all those reasons and more. All of us each sees the world thru our own eyes. My job is to understand what you need, and bring my experience, passion and imagination to bear on solving your problems.

I have had a long career doing many types of work, from shooting architecture in big cities to taking photos in the deepest wilderness. My current direction of interest is taking me back into doing more outdoor oriented and environmental work for corporations, non-profit and environmental groups. I can shoot from the land, air or underwater and can travel on short notice.

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE STORY
One of my most personal rewarding projects was making a feature length documentary called "Return of the River", a story of the largest dam removal in history on the Elwha River. Dear to my heart and fueled by passion, this was 4 years in the making, and with the help of my partner Jessica Plumb, we produced an award winning film shown worldwide to eager audiences wanting to witness an environmental film with a happy ending.

UAV...

Use Doubleclick Productions and take advantage of new technology to get dramatic aerial perspectives. By using low-altitude UAV (drone) aircraft, we create eye-catching views at a lower cost and with more unique advantages than from an airplane or standard helicopter. Just going out and buying a drone does not make someone a good aerial photographer, by combining the skill set of hundreds of hours of UAV piloting with the experienced eye of a professional photographer will guarantee you top quality results.
