Corporate headshot and family photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area
Dana McKay, 2021
Posted on January 24, 2022
Late last year, an aspiring model-actor hired me to explore posing, lighting, and different editing styles. Our collaboration resulted in some outstanding headshots and portraits. My personal favorite is the vintage classic pose of Dana on the chair awash in ambient light. I especially like the color version, because of the drama taking place between the color of the eyes and lips. Scroll down, and let me know what you think.

Bay Area Family Photography
Posted on September 21, 2021
Outdoor family photography in the Bay Area rarely disappoints. Grasses, oaks, cottonwoods, sycamores, creeks, ranch-style fences, and other rural vestiges. Among all that beauty, it’s incredibly gratifying to capture eyes, freckles, curls, and even the totally 100% unscripted kiss, I swear! Take a peek below.

Corporate headshots
Posted on September 9, 2021
Ambient light rules the world
That’s a plain fact
But sometimes you can’t utilize it
When that happens, strobes are a game changer
That, and reflectors, casting soft light
With each outing,
I develop more control over highlights, mid tones, and shadows
Take a peek at this recent set
Thank you!

Business Pros
Posted on February 24, 2021
In retrospect, 2020 was a damn fine year
I photographed
Families
Couples
Teens
Kids
Business pros
And a variety of scenes
Here are some of the business professionals I captured
Including a writer, a CEO, a coach, a yoga teacher, a lawyer, a singer-songwriter
And even Utah’s most celebrated outdoorsman

Back to Basics

This is water
That’s the name of the photo
It’s never occurred to me to name an image before
But after I finished the edit, I realized I’d been addressing it by name all along
I celebrate brute physical realities
Stones, rivers, and trees
Eyes and freckles
Elemental things
They resist political wish and spin
They are what they are through themselves and no other
This is water
