A morning without coffee is not a morning for me. Coffee, not unlike photography, is a driving factor of my creative soul. Late night TV host David Letterman once said, "If it wasn't for the coffee, I'd have no identifiable personality whatsoever."
Maybe that's not entirely true, at least about my personality. Although coffee helps.
I am an Austin-based portrait and event photographer fortunate to photograph concerts and musicians through my affiliation with the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM) and local artists; capture theatre performances at the Long Center for Performing Arts (one of my Heller Award photos hung on the outside of the building) and for the McCallum High School Fine Arts program; and photograph sports including McCallum High School Boys Soccer, River City Rangers Soccer Club, and at the BloodFest Rugby tournament.
What turns my camera on? High contrast - many of my favorite photos feature bright stage lights creating dark shadows for a deeply emotional composition. My event photography features the energy and happiness surrounding the activities, and I always want to catch that fleeting moment to make a forever memory.
I welcome the opportunity to highlight your story in photographs. Please call me at 512-565-9012 or email o.jo@outlook.com.
Cheers!
