i updated my faq here, like 90% of the things I am asked are answered there, so maybe take a look. Im way more likely to answer questions that are more unique or interesting

Also I should be posting more frequently again since I got all my car stuff sorted out! So look out for that

if you could take photos of any one who would it be?

Tue, 14 May 2013 14:07:20 -0400

I really want to take photos of american model Kelly Mittendorf. I love unique and interesting faces

You should move to Portland, Oregon! Or at least visit. I think you would really love it here.

Sat, 11 May 2013 23:28:37 -0400

Portland is high up on my list of potential places to move to after this trip! Ill definitely at least visit.

What lens do you use most often? And what is your editing process like?

Sat, 11 May 2013 23:27:55 -0400

Lately Ive been using my 35mm 2.0 a lot, but I also use a 50mm 1.8. For editing, I usually expand with the brenizer method to get a high resolution, do any compositing or whatever if I need to (too vague to expand on), then use selective color and curves to edit colors.

This is a physical piece I experimented with. I printed several copies of this image, cut it up and glued them together. I have other versions that I might post later too. (Model Maxwell Runko)

Nick Scarpinato and I collaborated on this shoot a couple weeks ago. We all woke up early and drove to the woods to catch the sunrise and take photos, and spontaneously put together this series

What is your favorite part about living in Chicago? Would you live anywhere else?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:21:09 -0400

I actually live just outside of the city, but its nice. I’ve lived there forever though so I’m kind of bored with it. I plan on moving somewhere else at the end of the year, Im trying to figure out where. Somewhere with a good art scene

Yesterday I shot and developed film for the first time. Here are some photos I took. Huge thanks to Steven Sites for helping me through the process! I will definitely experiment more with film after this trip

Have you thought about being a cinematographer?

Sat, 27 Apr 2013 13:57:53 -0400

Yeah but I’d want to direct too. I will make a feature film some day. I have it all figured out but its a secret

Nick and I collaborated on this on Sunday. The sun was setting so we climbed on top of a big wood chip pile and jumped around and danced and kicked wood chips everywhere.

i would just like to ask, why do you post pictures that you have posted already before? i was just curious. you can absolutely ignore my question though.

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 09:01:49 -0400

I never repost single images by themselves (at least I dont think I do! If I did let me know) But sometimes ill put together a series of images and include some old work if it fits in with the common theme.

This has probably been asked before, but why is it that the majority of your photos don't have titles? :)

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:27:08 -0400

I worry that titling work cements it into only my interpretation. My work means something to me, but it won’t necesarily mean the same to some one else. Especially for work that is very specific and personal. I think leaving work untitled adds to the mystery. It makes the image more ambiguous and allows you to freely interpret it as you would like.

“Untitled” 2013

Collaboration between Kyle Thompson and Nicholas Scarpinato, in an effort to combine two common themes in our work.

I stayed in Richmond with Nick Scarpinato this past week and yesterday we worked on this together
