Founded in 2007, Studio 142 is a one-man photography studio built around the concept that the camera always lies, and those lies can help us to see the larger truth.  Whether it’s seeing the beauty of an individual, capturing a moment on stage, or displaying a product in the best light, the way the camera sees reality can tell a story.

The Right Look

Whether you want something wild, classy, artistic, dark, silly, or sexy, you’ll get images that reflect who you are. My philosophy is simple: I’m here to capture who you are, not to pose you in the “expected” way. You won’t find any stock backdrops or nondescript stools in my studio. Raw wood and antique chairs, combined with stark lighting, give a powerful and striking look to your images.

Or, step outside and take advantage of unique locations–rural, industrial, gothic, modern… whatever is available.

The Right Size

You’ll receive your images on DVD in 2 sizes: High resolution for professional-quality printing, and low resolution for uploading to the web. All images are in the standard .JPG format. If you’re working with professional print houses and need them in .TIFF format, that’s not a problem. Just let me know.

The Right to Copy

Because of the fear of violating copyright law, many photo printing and copying stores won’t touch photos that look like they were done by a professional. That’s not a problem with images you get from me. Your final package includes a signed notice giving you the right to copy, distribute, and publish the photos (for non-commercial use).

This means you can make all the copies you want. Give them out to friends and family. Post them on your website, Facebook, and MySpace pages. Include them in your newsletters or yearbooks.

Do you need your photos for commercial use? Let me know, and those rights can be added to the contract for an extra fee.
