"You have a good ear to match your good eye."
Paul Wong, Designer, Liska & Associates/Chicago
I am a creative professional with deep expertise in strategic brand development providing a consistent, relevant expression of a brand through the creation of visual content. I have a reputation, with my clients, for customer-centric strategic thinking, thoughtful creative vision and collaborative leadership. I bring core competencies of confidence, competence and caring to every project, for every client, regardless of size. The confidence to visually articulate a client’s point of view; the competence of consistently creating high quality imagery, while remaining flexible under tight deadlines and budget constraints, and caring about the team — the customer, large or small, and the people around me.

[WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY]

"One of the joys of working in the Seattle market is the deep pool of exceptional, creative talent and Alan consistently rises to the top of that pool. Alan's work would stand out in New York, L.A. or London. The quality of his work is matched only by his work attitude and professionalism. I have worked with him as an executive at two companies on a variety of projects and he has proven his versatility, flexibility and remarkable creativity. In addition, while we always work very hard, we also always enjoy ourselves. Alan and team are a safe bet on a challenging shoot."

Tim McMenamin; Senior Vice President, Talyst

"I had the pleasure of working with Alan on a corporate annual report project in 2005/2006. The word "pleasure" seems to downplay how great the experience was - extremely flexible with schedules, a high-value performer, exceptional with the client and their clients, creative under trying circumstances and devoid of typical photographer ego. I look forward to our next opportunity!"

Scott Hamilton; Director, Prescott Alexander

"I have worked with Alan on several projects over the years. Always the consummate professional, Alan is very talented photographer and a pleasure to work with. Alan always brings something to the table which makes the process of creating and designing much easier."

Mary Chin Hutchison; Principal, Hutchison Design

"I have hired Alan to do corporate/annual report and people photography. His leadership, project management and collaborative style really made the projects work for us. Making pictures is the least of what he can do when undertaking a project. I would highly recommend him!"
