As I go through all my old photos from the Civil War trip, I am just reminded at how much I loved shooting portraits for documentary purposes. I was not a huge fan of doing family portraits or any of that, but I love shooting documentary style photography and I am hoping to be able to travel and go do more of this type of shooting.

Last year, I shot photos for the Fire Fighter challenge that was held here in Salt Lake City. This year it is going to be a fire fighter challenge where fire fighters from all over the world come and compete, and I was hired by the company holding the competition to document it this year. It is going to be a much larger scale and probably cover 3-4 days, so I should get some pretty cool shots during that.

I am going to have to find my hard drive with all my photos from Tanzania because I had like 30,0000 photos on that and only shared a small fraction of photos from that. It was mainly pictures from my safari that I shared, so it will be cool to share a lot more of the portraits I took.

I hope that you enjoy these photos. It has been fun going through and editing everything again.

My word, your portrait game is 🔥.
Love the framing, lighting and subject separation.
I'm also a fan of that sepia-type monochrome edit. Very rustic and tasteful.

Thanks man. I appreciate it. I had an awesome time at this event capturing these.

Fantastic shots. They feel 100 years old.

Thanks. I was hoping they looked like a piece of history.

Great captures… they do speak so much!
Yes, you should do more portraits but in this style… documentary.
Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.

Thanks. I hope that I can get out and do more documentary shots.

You are welcome @derangedvisions 😁 hope you can 🤞🏻

I love all the portraits above!! Thank you for sharing this my friend. One thing comes into my mind after I saw the second and third picture was a movie title "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman" and of course all of them are extraordinary person. :)) Have a great weekend my friend.

Thanks man. I loved that movie too.
