Seattle Photographer

I had an another assignment with Seattle interior designer Robin Chell of Robin Chell Design, to photograph some of her work at a number of Condo and apartment buildings in Bellevue and Redmond. This was taken in a lobby of an apartment building in Bellevue, Washington. Very elegant and clean design I would characterize Robin’s design at work here.

:Nota Bene Cellars is releasing their 2007 vintage wines and I recently photographed the entire lineup of bottles for them. They were especially interested is showing off their new label design and their large format bottles. The photos will be used on their website when it gets updated very soon. They had started out with just three different wines when I first photographed their wine a few years ago. It is good to see them growing bigger  and bigger. Their wines are some of my favorite Washington State wine.

Tim Narby and family in the winery of Nota Bene Cellars, Seattle.

It is the time of year when I get asked a lot to come and make family portraits for business and personal use. Here is Tim Narby’s family photo for the winery to send out to friends and clients. Tim makes some really great wine in the bordeaux style, blending the traditional varieties into a new world version of a classic bordeaux. Tim is the owner and winemaker at Nota Bene Cellars making some of the finest wine to come out of the best vineyards of Eastern Washington.

Just a note about this picture. I usually do not go into technical talk but I have been working with an old Hassleblad and black and white film and I really like the look of film. It has been a while since I worked with a film camera every day and I am getting the hang of it again. Last time I worked with the Hasselblad was more than 15 years ago. I gave them up and moved on to a Mamiya RZ 67 when I became tired of the square format. Lately I have been missing it so I got myself a new old camera, the lens was made in 1975 and the body in 1980. The lens is a beautiful 110 f/2 Planar. and it looks tack sharp even after all these years. I will be using it for as many kinds of assignments as I see fit from now on. It is back to the future with film. Family portrait by Seattle Photographer Daniel Sheehan an  editorial photographer who creates portraits for publications and corporations.

I had to photograph a chair for a furniture designer and importer for a marketing campaign and decided to approach it much the same way I would approach making a portrait of a person. I wanted to show off its best side and have some of its personality come through. Both the client and I were happy with the resulting picture.

One of my favorite assignments is photographing large groups of people for corporate clients or wedding clients. Here is a recent wedding panorama taken at the wedding of Kerri Higgins and Graham Sheldon at McCurdy Park and the Museum of History and Industry, MOHAI on August 15th.  Everyone in attendance lined up on the waterfront where the ceremony had just taken place for a large group portrait.The light was perfect and the setting was fantastic with Lake Washington and the Montlake cut in the background.

Recently, I photographed Jan Sewell of Jan Sewell Design and Jan Sewell Real Estate and her beautiful home in Madison Park. Her place is like a museum with incredible art on all the walls and sculpture scattered all around the place. She does decorate and sell homes for a living after all, so it is no surprise that her place is drop dead gorgeous. I have to add that Jan is not your normal real estate agent. She will make you house look so good you very well might have to change your mind about selling it in the end.

So what do you from a real estate agent with great taste?
