Downtown Magazine

© All rights reserved.

For those of you who don't know, I've recently completed the photography for the inaugural issue of Downtown magazine, launching in mid-September. It was a great experience -- each shoot slightly different from the one before it. The only thing tempering my enthusiasm was my very busy schedule outside of the publication work, which included a move back into the city, an assignment in San Antonio and all the regular client work that happens any given month.

The two images posted are photos that weren't chosen for publication, but that I liked and wanted to share. The first, downtown, was taken without a tripod just after sunset. I consider it a freakish example of luck in photography -- my hands aren't normally that steady on a long(ish) exposure. The second, thirsty, was taken at Voice at the Hotel Icon. It uses only natural light, capitalizing off of a bar that was lit from underneath. I'm not inclined to pull out the flash unless absolutely necessary, so the unique lighting really worked in my favor.
