Took my first flight in a powered paraglider trike. Chased the sunset, skimmed over boats, and saw the Northwest from a whole new angle. Unreal experience. #northwest #chuckanutdrive

One of my biggest nightmares came true—I fell off a ledge and lost my camera in the ocean. Thankfully, I walked away unhurt, though the same couldn’t be said for my camera. #canonr5 #canonphotography #northwest

Project 17 Objective: The imagery should feel like still frames pulled from a slow-burning cinematic film—moody, atmospheric, and tension-filled without relying on overt action. Inspired by modern psychological dramas, and neo-noir city visuals, the pacing of the imagery should feel contemplative and emotionally charged. Model: Josiah P @so5iah Location: Downtown Seattle rooftop environment with dense urban architecture and layered high-rise backdrops. Gear: Canon R5 (DSLR/Mirrorless), Sigma 50mm, Ricoh Shotmaster 130z

Project 16 Product: Arcteryx Alpha SV Objective: Create elevated lifestyle imagery centered on the Arc’teryx Alpha SV as the ultimate shell for severe environments. Emphasize its rugged construction, precision engineering, and all-conditions reliability while navigating the varied landscapes of the Pacific Northwest—from rain-soaked forest trails to wind-exposed ridgelines and dramatic coastal terrain. The focus is on trust, composure, and performance when conditions are unpredictable, positioning the Alpha SV as a foundational piece for modern mountain systems. Model: Prince Addo @pflight_ Location: Chuckanut Drive, Washington Conditions: Rainy and mist-laden with diffused natural light, creating a subdued, atmospheric environment. Low contrast and soft highlights emphasize material texture, surface detail, and tonal depth—reinforcing a moody, editorial aesthetic that aligns with harsh-weather performance and Pacific Northwest conditions. Gear: Canon R5 (DSLR/Mirrorless), Sigma 50mm

Project 13 Product: 1997 Toyota Century Objective: Photograph Alder in a variety of candid and composed moments with the car, using the surrounding nature as both a backdrop and a storytelling element.
