Pianist Peter Robinson for Washingtonian
I like being asked to take pictures of interesting people with a million stories to tell. I also like music. This shoot was an all-around win. Read the interview here, but ignore the picture that goes with it. I didn’t send any files that looked like that. Did someone on the web team get a [...]
ATF Fire Research Laboratory for Washingtonian
I’m gonna start this post by saying I’m a life-long pyro. I love fire. It terrified and fascinated me as a child. I used to watch episodes of Rescue 911 and I would pay extra close attention to the house fire segments so that I would know what to do when it happened to me. [...]
The Trenum Family for Washingtonian
Washingtonian Magazine asked me to shoot a portrait of a family that had suffered an unbelievable tragedy. Their son- a bright, happy, handsome and popular kid- took his own life after he sustained a concussion during a football game. The story itself (here) is an outstanding longform piece by writer Patrick Hruby. I never really [...]
John Wojnowski for Washingtonian
I spent two days photographing John Wojnowski, a man who has protested corruption and pedophilia within the Catholic Church on one street corner for 14 years. He himself is the victim of abuse at the hands of a Catholic priest, an incident which he kept secret for years and which impacted his life so profoundly [...]
Hidden Gems for Washingtonian
I got a pretty sweet assignment from Washingtonian which had me running all over DC, Maryland and Virginia to photograph local notables and their “hidden gems.” These were places and things that you might not find in a guidebook, or even know about if you’re a local. I only knew one place on my shoot [...]
Green Awards for Washingtonian
Washingtonian asked me to photograph the 2012 recipients of their annual Green Awards earlier this year. Here are some outs from the shoots.
Coach John Thompson III for Washingtonian
The fine folks over at Washingtonian Magazine have been sending some real plum assignments my way lately. I photographed Georgetown basketball coach John Thompson III for a great profile piece by Brett Haber (read it here), doing my thing as both a photojournalist and a portrait photographer. I spent several hours at practice shooting the [...]
Ray Mahmood for Washingtonian
I photographed Ray Mahmood at his sprawling mansion in Mount Vernon, Va. for Washingtonian magazine in December. The Pakistani native came to America decades ago and built a fortune which he now uses to cozy up to the political elite here in DC as a powerbroker and shaper of American-Pakistan policy. The night that [...]
Behind The Scenes at Joint Base Andrews for Washingtonian Magazine online
Kyle Gustafson, the web director for Washingtonian Magazine, called me up a few months ago with an interesting proposition. He wanted me to shoot behind the scenes at Joint Base Andrews and show the receiving process for the wounded warriors coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan. The end result would be an online slideshow featuring [...]
