I had gone for a long time since anyone had asked me if I do any studio-style photography: tight control over light in a small space, as opposed to the work I usually do, which is on location, and which I do my best to record as faithfully as possible.

But every once in a while someone asks me if I can take pictures of objects, and two of those happened recently for me within the span of a week. And my answer was, Sure! I can take pictures of anything.

One of the requests came from a friend I met through the Birchwood Cafe, who is also a very talented ceramic artist. She throws functional pieces and does some great stuff with firing them in a wood burning kiln, which I understand is kind of unique. Here are a couple of her pieces

And about that studio, you might ask? He’s never mentioned a studio. . .

That’s how I roll: workin’ with what I got.
