Capturing Photos at the Seattle Selfie Museum

The Seattle Selfie Museum is officially open for business in Post Alley right by Pike Place Market. It was fun to goof around with my buddy Corey (yeah, that’s us riding giant crayons) and capture some different photos than what everyone else was doing. It costs $29 on weekdays and $34 on weekends for a full hour of photo action. Take a look at some of the photos below and if you want to go shoot at the museum don’t hesitate to reach out. I already have ideas for new photos.

Senior Portraits at Wright Park In Tacoma

I recently ventured south to Tacoma, Washington to capture some senior portraits of my godson Zach. It was my first time shooting in Wright Park and it was a true pleasure. The fountains, bridge, colorful trees and clean backgrounds made for a pretty good senior portrait session in my opinion. I always try and make sure I got photos the parents will enjoy and the senior. A few of my favorite are below!

Fun Seattle Senior Portraits with Graham

Last week I met up with Mercer Island high senior Graham to capture some senior portraits. When his mom contacted me about capturing photos she also asked if I could capture some photos of him longboarding also. Naturally, the answer was yes. I met up with Graham and his brother and parents and the Washington Park Arboretum to capture the traditional portraits. After that we ventured to one of my local skate spots to capture another unique set of photos for him. It was a blast and it really gives some diversity to the photos that he can use in graduation announcements, yearbook photos or just to keep for memories. Anyways, if you are looking for senior portraits for your son or daughter and live in the Seattle area feel free to shoot me an email to: matt@equalmotion.com

Whatcom County Football Preview Portraits

Been kinda busy hunting for apartments in Seattle, buying a new car and preparing for the new job at DB Skimboards/DB Longboards, but I need to catch up on some blog posts. I also redid my website over the course of the weekend. I have really enjoyed my time capturing football photos this season thus far and before the season began I had the opportunity to meet some of the players. I spent a week capturing portraits of Whatcom County high school football players for the 2014 Bellingham Herald Football Preview section. I also ended up designing the cover of the special section also (you can see that above). Below you can see some of the portraits that ran inside the special section.

Ski to Sea Preview: Racer portraits

I was given the task to create some portraits for the Ski to Sea special section that The Bellingham Herald puts out each year. I used a ring flash and a random wall in the basement of The Bellingham Herald building to create all of these portraits. I also had a bunch of photos from last year’s race run in the special section and will be back up on the mountain covering the cross country and downhill legs of the race again this year.
