A lot of things have been happening lately. I quit my job as a photographer for a local university and decided to venture on my own. To make some extra money, I also freelance as a web designer and had to re-learn a plethora of old tricks from my previous life as a programmer. Which in a way, turned out to be a great thing since it forced me to update my professional website and that in turn forced me to re-evaluate my style. Long story short, all the vanilla, “typical headshots” portraits (including processing techniques) had to go. No more of that. I want something more dramatic or else I will not have any future.
Anyway, here’s what in store…
- Migrate this blog to be a part of my professional website at http://endernygen.com
- Focus the blog entirely and exclusively on artsy, high-end portraiture
- Make it awesome.
In a way, that will be like a start. It will detail my progress as a newbie photographer entering the field and my subsequent hire by Vogue to shoot a spread in 10 years. Or not… but I learned that if you want $10, ask your mom for $100.
Oh and if you have Twitter, follow me at:

Any suggestions would be welcome!
See you on the other side!
Let me get this straight...you gave up programming to become a photographer who freelances in web-design? Good luck to you. It is, as far as I can judge, a VERY tough field these days. Check out JimmyD's blog, "Pretty Girl Shooter." He makes his living as a videographer and photographer-and now as an e-book merchant-and has some interesting ideas about making an living in the image-making arena.
