1st Annual Artwalk at the Promenade Bolingbrook
The show is May 2-3 and will feature many area artists. One feature of this show is that there is an indoor venue if the weather is not so nice…something that is not impossible for early May in the [...]

I recently worked with Michael and Susan Maddox, chef owners of the fabulous French restaurant, Le Titi de Paris. I was asked to shoot the dining room and a number of current dishes that the restaurant features.

It is snowing in Chicago. By the time morning rolls around nearly a foot of snow will be deposited on the ground. I decided I needed to revisit images of warmer days. As I wandered through my photographs I was drawn to this one. The red stadium seats on a warm Summer day, seats that by morning will not be recognizable, simply jumped off the page at me.

Vanilla custard with burnt sugar, a traditional dessert from 19th century France. Literally creme brulee means burnt cream. In this case the dessert is laced with blueberries to enhance the dining experience.

Just 18 days old, these brother and sister twins proved to be a dream to shoot. I arrived just before feeding time only to find the two safely tucked into their swings sleeping away. While I was setting up the girl began to open her eyes as if to supervise what I was doing. She [...]

Late Fall presents a photographer with fantastic light. We are also presented with skeletal foliage (at least in the Midwest where I am from) while the grass still fights to hold on to its late Summer green.
The two photographs on this page are recent examples of HDR photography. Shooting in a range of [...]

Book Stack is now available (3 versions) through Roger Passman Stock Photography. The image can be found in the Still Life section. Creating stock images is a way for me to explore creative ways to work with subjects and lighting. This experimentation allows me to stay fresh, hone my vision, and maintain a creative attitude.

The day was just a bit overcast and there was a slight Autumn chill in the air. I planned a whole day downtown to photograph because I really wanted to work with HDR (high density range) images. The technique allows one to expose for the full range of highlights through shadows by making three or [...]
