Dave is a good friend and a really great guy. I met him in yoga class where our friendship started around a mutual love of yoga. Dave is a professional guy, he owns a company called Mindimensions, he has two amazing kids, and a lovely girlfriend. He enjoys golf and hiking, watching football, and he really likes Ted.com. He also has a dry and witty sense of humor, and in my opinion is a really wise person who gives great advice. Despite all these sterling qualities, the man was, like many of you out there, in need of some new photos for LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. This is something so many people need to do periodically… update your online presence with fresh, flattering images. Well I may be a bit biased, but I truly think this tall, kind man is pretty darn photogenic.

I really love introducing color into my portraits, and find I have an affinity for crisp, bright, vibrant images. This blue wall was perfect for Dave’s eyes… although I know guys would never admit to caring for such things.

It’s sometimes hard to get guys comfortable in front of the camera, but Dave was very much at ease, and I think this is evident in his photos. He is a thinking man, a cerebral man… although he is a man of action as well as contemplation. I think his depth shows in these images.

I love the fact that we were able to get good indoor and outdoor shots… and that Dave has such an expressive face. Steely seriousness and a wide smile that is joy personified almost interchangeable at a moments notice.

This last image is one of Dave’s favorites, and I think it’s the perfect photo of a man making his way in the world.
