I had a great time (albeit short) shooting the band, The Salesmen, last week.

Lisa of Glance Glasses. Thinking about a simple project of photographing the other business owners around my new studio downtown.

Great photoshoot with Grand Duchy today (Violet Clark, Charles Thompson (aka Frank Black), Jason Carter).
Here’s a shot of Jake, my assistant.

Well, after tomorrow that is. Our summer camp will be finished tomorrow.
“So what’s been going on, Will?”
Let me tell you.
I’ve moved into the new studio. I’ll be spending much time here the next two weeks. Jeani & Liam are in Minnesota til the end of the month. I’ve got a few photo shoots lined up over this period, but I want more (hint, hint). If you’ve wanted to do a shoot, this is a great time to call.
Also, please stop by as I’m right downtown (349 State St., Salem, Oregon). We’ll have some coffee & talk.
(if you’re viewing this on the front page, there are some iphone shots of the new space after the jump)

Here’s the photo:

I’m not a writer. For some reason I’m hearing the J.Peterman descriptions from Seinfeld. See, I’m not a writer.
Finishing up with product shoot for local Slab Soap, handmade soaps made right here in Salem.

I’ve sent the women the link to their photos. I had a blast with this photo shoot. Here are a few examples:

I’ve updated my portfolio site so that it now includes thumbnails of the images in the various galleries. Also I’ve changed the intro slideshow.
You know you could be nice and leave a comment about the changes.

As I communicated to many of you, last week was a difficult week. I lost someone too young. Well I’m back, and I know that the CCDG Travel Team members have been patiently waiting for their photos. I promise to have them ready for viewing over the next few days.
Until then here’s a sample for ya.
I alluded to this in yesterday’s post:
HMB Visual is a photography & design studio featuring William Bragg Photography and Neanderthal Productions. It was created over some favorite libations at Venti’s Basement Bar and Pete’s Place bringing together a talented, dedicated and creative team. The brainchild of photographer William Bragg, the other team members consist of designer Timmy Myles & aspiring photographer and production man, Jake Horton. The new studio is located at 343 Court St. NE downtown Salem.
Look for more information really soon.





This is from a recent shoot with the Cherry City Derby Girls for their t-shirts and other merchandise they are selling. I know many of the participants in the shoot (especially Leslie & Lisa *wink*) are waiting for more photos, and I should have them done soon. The holidays are definitely affecting my time, though.
I had a great time and can’t tell you how much I enjoy working with everyone involved with CCDG!
A nice mention on the Mary Lou Zeek Gallery site regarding a recent photoshoot.
