Seattle Urban Pages

Last spring I received a really great opportunity. I was asked by my friends at Seattle Magazine to shoot the imagery for the 2010 Seattle Urban Pages directory. I was in charge of shooting 90% of the imagery (excluding the ads) which was a massive undertaking, but I was able to experience Seattle in a whole new way. The directory is a resource guide to all things wonderful that you can only find in Seattle; from food, to shopping, restaurants, to attractions. Seattle is comprised of lots of little neighborhoods that each have their own vibe and culture. I was able to explore each neighborhood and experience the best of what they had to offer. I also met a lot of wonderful people along the way including shop owners, chefs, bartenders, artists, even a sea captain! Needless to say I had the time of my life and I am very proud of the end result. Here are a few spreads from the directory and some of my favorite people, places, and imagery from the project. So if you’re in Seattle this year make sure you pick up the 2010 Seattle Urban Pages!

Did I mention I was only a week into a six month diet/cleanse when I started this job….torture! I guess it was a good thing or I would have eaten my way through Seattle;)
