This year end Photo Review covers my work from 2016 and features some of my favorite photos from the year. Headshots became my primary work in 2016, but there were still plenty of opportunities for group photos, editorial work and fine-art work. While most of my work these days is for hire, I still love my personal work, Burning Man, road trips and finding people with unusual True Callings. Here are some of my favorite photos from 2016 divided into categories for this Photo Review.
Studio Portraits with Props
Starting off the photo review with our studio work and headshots, we have so many great subjects. This year we started offering longer sessions and some of our most fun sessions involved props.

Studio Portraits without Props
A wider portrait gets the hands in the photo and gives you a better look at the person.

iPhone Photos Photo Review
Snapping photos with an iPhone is so much fun.
These are all from my Instagram feed which does not include any portraits and almost no people.
2017 promises to bring even more photos. Thanks for following my work. I hope to work with you in 2017.
