Mossy understory, soft volumetric light, 35mm wide.
A camera, a truck,
and a weather app ⛈️
I'm Alan — a Portland-based photographer working with outdoor and lifestyle brands that care about how their world actually looks and feels. I sleep in the truck so the call sheet doesn't have to chase the light. The light wins; we just show up early.

In their words ✿
Trusted by"Alan reads weather like a forecaster and light like a painter. He brought back frames we're still using two seasons later."
"Calm on set, ruthless in the edit. The kind of photographer you book once and then keep on retainer."
"He drove eleven hours through hail to chase a sunrise that lasted four minutes. Got the cover, obviously."
