City of Hillsboro, City Manager - Michael Brown's image was created at the Civic Center. I'm pleased with the contemporary and graphic design of the portrait. Images that showcase your environment and personality are a a great way to communicate your message.

FujiFilm Event @ MIT

As a member of FujiFilm's talent team I had the opportunity to host an event at the studio for photographers from the Portland Metro area to test out Fuji's NEW S5 camera. The S5 has many up-grades and will make a great addition to our studio. I won't go into all the details but this camera has some serious features that other manufactures can't touch.

Larry Battistello, our Fuji Rep and Bruce Arnold, Fuji's Senior Tech Adviser, were on hand to provide knowledge and all the info we needed about the newest Fuji Pro DSLR. Doug Potts from Pro Photo Supply was also here, if your in the market for a new camera visit Pro Photo Supply in NW Portland.

Below are a few images taken at the Event. ENJOY!!!






Thank you Larry, Bruce and Doug Potts from Pro Photo Supply for your support of Professional Photography.
