IPHONE COVER SHOT!

Michael Poehlman February 3, 2014

The Northern Express' cover shot this week via my iPhone 4s. Yep. Sometimes you don't need a fancy camera...

And cool design work, Kyra Cross Poehlman! ;)

RIP Fred Willard. Fred visited Traverse City for the 2014 Traverse City Winter Comedy Festival, and he was fantastic. He hilariously commentated (a la Best In Show) during a dogsled race through our downtown. And when I asked him to sit for a portrait, he said “Sure! Give me a minute.” He then went over to a mirror and rehearsed a few faces, and came back and said, Let’s go!” And he proceeded to nail about 15 perfect expressions. #fredwillard #traversecity #canonphotography #westcottlighting #profoto #portraits #portraitphotographyawards

Circus Of Books now streaming on Netflix! Karen, Barry, and Rachel were delightful when they visited this past summer for the Traverse City Film Festival, and they were happy to sit for the filmmaker portrait series. #circusofbooks #tcff #tcff19 #portraits #netflix #profotousa #profoto #westcottlighting #canon

Looking forward to photographing everyone again after we’re unmasked. #portraitphotography #portrait #headshot #portraitphotographer #profoto #westcottlighting
