Shutter•Trip
I love working with portraiture, but when I'm hit by bursts of curiosity, I can literally spend hours in the company of a craftsman who has dedicated years of hard labor, fine-tuning and honing their talent. Whether it be cycling, surfing, coffee-roasting, cars, blade-smiths...everything has a subculture that's rich and unique, and the passion put into it is infectious.
So I came up with ShutterTrips to satisfy my curiosity as well as showcase these amazing talents/worlds. Staying thirsty for new horizons keeps me going -- so let me know if you think your scene would fit in a ShutterTrip.
