Seattle Photographer Daniel Sheehan

I was out on the Skansonia last week on assignment to cover a night out for a local business and one f the diversions they had hand were some gaming tables. I caught this fellow as he unloaded the dice in a long runs of collecting a pile of chips. A great night out for all.

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?

Phil Kelly has been working on a new CD project,out at Bear Creek Studio in Woodinville recently, his first big band jazz album under his own name, “Convergence Zone” which is scheduled for fall release on Origin Records. I got to make a panoramic photo of the whole band on a break out behind the studio. Phil is seated at right.

While at a recent corporate event at the Newcastle Golf Club I made this panorama of the view and someone making his own photograph of the fantastic view of the western horizon over Lake Washington and the city of Seattle and over Puget Sound to the Olympic Mountains. Simply one of the best drop dead views available in the region in the opinion of  a Seattle photographer. Besides being a fantastic place to play golf, the catering staff make Newcastle a great place to hold a corporate event or function.  I enjoyed working there as a Seattle photographer covering corporate events a number of times over the past few years.

I had a request for this portrait of Sue Hegyvary I made for Nursing magazine a couple of years ago. It will be used for the author’s photo on a book by Sue. She is on faculty of the University of Washington and I made some portraits of her both at work and at home. This was one of the final selects from the home session.

I have been away from blogging for a while but not from photography. I had a wedding assignment in Italy in January and stayed for a few extra days with friends in Germany and did some panoramas for myself for a change. Got back and had to try and catch up with my email and then was busy with a bunch of local portrait assignments including this one of a local bank board of directors.

I hope to find time to update this blog with some more recent work.

Tim Narby and Family = Note Bene Winery

Every year I for the past 4-5 years I have been asked to photograph Tim’s family photo which he then has Panda Lab print on a Christmas card. The cards are sent out to not just his friends and family but to subscribers and people signed up on the mailing list of his winery Note Bene. He makes really great bordeaux style wine from Washington state grapes and I look forward to getting this assignment from him every December. Right after the shoot he has an open house and I get to taste all of the 7-8 varieties he makes. What a treat.

I photographed graphic designer Janee Kreinheder, principle of Swing Creative, yesterday for their website and edited the shoot down to these four portraits as my favorites. Which one do you think is best?
This is often the hardest part of the process.
