Lucah Sage - The Late Late Session : I was lucky enough to meet Lucah at Mobile Street Studio at last Thursday in July. We got a time to work together and after a terrible schedule mishap we got started shooting at 10:30pm. This was Lucah's first studio shoot and she was a great model, she is stunningly beautiful, she followed direction amazingly well, her beauty emanates from within her... what you see is just the skin that contains that well of beauty. Please note that none of these are Photoshopped at all. This is a quick one pass edit down with only slight changes to tone and light on some of the photos made in Lightroom. The real winners will be edited a little in the future and replaced here. If you are interested in your own photo session contact me at rpjoseph@gmail.com

Photos of Beautiful People : I love to photograph people. I especially love to photograph beautiful women. Although she never complains, I am sure to my wife's chagrin, I also ask as many people as I can if I can photograph them. I am just learning... but I love it more than I love doing anything else. I see life differently because of it... I walk in wonderment enjoying how light hits a person or a building or a tree... I spend hours everyday daydreaming about clicking that little button and capturing time These are some of the pictures... hopefully over time there will be a marked improvement.

NYE 2009 into 2010 at the Mighty Quinn House : We (Willow, Ange, Karisa, Kraig. Eric and I) started NYE off at around 5:00pm on Mississippi Ave... We barhopped across inner NE to about 5 different bars... until we were - well... pretty lit... unfortunately I didn't even bring the camera out of the car at any of the bars... We showed up at the Quinn's about 20 minutes before 2009 morphed into 2010.... there were drunk ladies with tears in their eyes, drunk gentleman with ladies in their sights, topless hairy bears, a threesome on a pole at the bottom of the stairs, more liquor, cold drunken walks in the out of doors.... yep NYE 2009 was a night to remember!! Too bad I don't...i simply recounted the story by looking at the pictures.

I added a lot of pictures... mostly because I wanted to show scenes like the drunk guy fighting with the festivus pole... Rick tried to help him... and then gave up... all was well though when Karisa flashed a little ass... that distracted him from causing too much damage with the festivus pole!!!

We are planning on going back for a photo shoot at sunrise and sunset this fall or early winter. These are mostly midday shots so the lighting is not so great and they definitely lack drama.

2009 4th of July at the Beach : On a whim we took off for the coast.... to avoid the 90+ degree heat in Portland. Ange, Kraig and friends were there and it seemed like a better time than rubbin shoulders at the blues fest this year in that kind of heat.. plus Etta James had canceled so we were a little disappointed anyway. We got to the beach around 6pm. We were in Ilwaco, WA. At first, we were really disappointed.. it was freezing, there were douche bags everywhere... and having stayed up very late partying the night before... the constant stream of explosions and smoke was makin us feel psychotic.... as night fell magic happened. There wasn't a firework display... there was a mile of beach lit up by fireworks non stop... it was dramatic and awesome and as a photographer - I hate to say this... but I could not capture how intense it was with my camera.... I got a few shots though... and here they are.

2009 World Naked Bike Ride - Portland Event #2 : This was the main event for the Portland World Naked Bike Ride. This was an unbelievable sight. There were literally miles of naked people... dancing, singing, laughing, and at ease. It was an incredible sight. With the exception of a few - these really aren't great pics. It was really difficult because of the movement and the darkness. I didn't have a flash and even if I would have I probably wouldn't have used it. I wanted to capture that there was nudity but didn't want 'nude' photos. The most disappointing thing for me was that I couldn't get a vantage point to capture the volume of people at this event. It was breathtaking and a ton of fun. I am in next year!!

Your Bio

I am a passionate photographer with an eye for drawing out beauty. I enjoy creating artful shots of nearly any scene. I excel in low light situations, be it at a wedding, a concert, a party, a forest... or even in the studio. The most important part of photography to me is the relationships I build between my subject and myself. I pride myself in being respectful, fun and allowing the creativity of all involved in a shoot be realized.

I am always looking for people and/or events to photograph. Please contact me if you are interested in any of my prints or to schedule your own photo shoot.
