Doug Hansgate has been shooting professionally and with distinction for over 35 years. Owner of AMP Studios, a successful commercial portrait and fashion photography studio in New York, Doug often says that if an image does not exude passion and does not evoke a sense of delight, sorrow, sadness, happiness, or desire, the image lacks the ability to be a sustainable work of art. His creative approach to photography, coupled with his ability to see and capture light, permeates his impressive body of work. His numerous gallery showings highlight his perceptive and compelling work. His passion for his art has propelled Doug as a leader in the field of painting with light—since the human eye can perceive slight nuances of color and light that cameras cannot always capture. Doug has taught at professional photography seminars throughout the United States, and Canada. His passion for sharing his knowledge is tempered only by the hours of the day and how much can be accomplished in one lifetime.

My wife Stefani and I have a portrait photography studio in Roseville, CA. If I had to describe my style in one word it would be romantic. I don’t shoot with the rules in mind but try to just stick to what is lovely to me. If I can stay just outside of reality with my images then they are a success. Passion first, vision second, and the rest you can pick up on the way. Phottix Gear Used: Odin system (Canon) with 2 receivers James says: The Odin system has really liberated the way I use speedlights on location. The ease of use and reliability has made them my go-to triggers. Details: www.enchantedseniors.com www.facebook.com/enchantedimages |

With his extensive experience shooting indoor and out, working with all types of people, models, children, families, celebrities, and more, Jayesunn has become known as one of Portland’s premiere photographers and lighting experts. “I was born in the Midwest. As a touring musician, fell in love with the Pacific northwest and decided to make it my home. When I stopped touring and started a family I picked up a camera for the first time with a different eye. Shooting my first child really began my love affair with the camera. I began to photograph anything and everything around me. Just about all of my free time was spent with a camera or a book about photography in my hand. Eventually I became the friend that you would call if you needed some shots done, and it just grew from there. Twelve years later I have photographed people from all walks of life, from celebrities to children, and I haven’t stopped. I try to pick up my camera every day and try something new.” The client list of Jayesunn Krump is a vast range of personalities and the portfolio represents that well. Customers are used to expecting, achieving, and receiving only the best. Some credits include:

Dennis is a wedding photographer in Northern New Jersey who shoots all over the North East. He mixes a real and intimate documentary style with epic, wow factor portraits. His path with photography started with an interest in his teens inspired by his father and grandfather, but truly ignited in college. His initial intent was to be a skateboarding photographer, which to this day still heavily influences his non traditional style. But, during college while assisting a wedding photographer, Dennis found that weddings offered the versatility, creativity, and meaningfulness that he was looking for. When not shooting and obsessing about photography, Dennis enjoys spending time with his wife, traveling as much as possible, and almost anything that will get him outdoors. Phottix Gear Used: Phottix Odins PPL 400 Phottix Luna Beauty Dish Variable ND filter Mitros for Canon Dennis says: Phottix addresses the problems that face working professionals in the field, and solves them. Since using Phottix products, I find myself constantly creating photos that I never would have been able to before.
