Fire Arts at Lewis & Clark College

portraits

I'm always so honored when I am trusted enough to photograph people practicing their art, their skills, their beloved hobbies. The Fire Arts club at Lewis & Clark has always been so generous with allowing me to photograph them during their practice sessions - from students experiencing their first burn (as in working with flaming instruments - not getting hurt) to seniors who are about to graduate and are spinning with their classmates for the last official time.

Enjoy some of my favorite images from recent sessions on some dry (and very cold) evenings:
