outdoor photography

 Outdoor locations provide opportunities for some of the most visually interesting shots—but are also some of the most challenging. A location can completely transform in a matter of moments based on the time of day and the weather—things that can’t be controlled—so preparation is key and creativity is essential to make the best plans and be ready to make on-the-spot adjustments to get the most out of outdoor shoots. Russell loves the particular challenges of outdoor location shoots; his approach is to use as much available light as possible, and pairs that with creative angles and accent lighting where needed to capture a real, authentic feeling of space with just a little extra sparkle.  

Working with brands like Naturepedic, Cub Cadet and Troy-Bilt, and organizations like Menorah Park, Russell has photographed outdoor settings to show products in action, capture the vivacity of individuals, and tell stories with a twist.
