University of Oregon Campus Tour

A handful of shots by Erik Bishoff Photography recently made an appearance on the University of Oregon Virtual Tour website. The featured photos were taken during my years as a Photo Editor for the Oregon Daily Emerald and while doing some freelance work for the Admissions Department a number of years later. The UO has a huge cache of stock art to choose from so it was a nice surprise to find myself among the selected images.

New Business Card

Thanks again to Martin Grandahl for the assistance with the logo.

It's alive... ALIVE!

Rose & Ben - Vancouver, WA

My new commercial wedding photography site (www.erikbishoff.com) is now live. I want to thank the good folks at BluDomain.com for a flawless transition. The only hitch was a temporary email outage brought on by... me! It's amazing how wrong things can go as a result of just one misplaced letter.

I look forward to your feedback. Any suggestions, kudos, complaints, or concerns regarding my new site are encouraged!

Carrie & Aaron

Carrie & Aaron - Sauve Island, OR

There's a neat story behind this one.

One of my classmates, Adam, referred me to Carrie and Aaron last year. Adam's wife, coincidentally, used to be friends with some of my high school friends and attended a wedding in which I was Best Man back in the early 90's. Adam's wife was also, coincidentally, a classmate of my wife's back when she was Law School. Meanwhile, Carrie, coincidentally, worked as a bartender in Ashland Oregon around the same time that I was tending bar across town and, although we didn't know each other well, we did have a lot of the same friends.

Small world... eh?

New site... coming soon?

Beasley Wedding - Plymouth, MA 2006

My good friend Jen Downer of She Saw Things turned me on to a company by the name of BluDomain.com that specializes in designing photography portfolio websites. After working at a web designer for years I am more than familiar with how time consuming it can be to maintain your own website. In fact, my wife and I designed my existing site about a year ago. Designing my own site was fun but with my business building quickly and grad school devouring my time, I realized I needed a better solution. I picked up the BluDomain template "Juan" for a reasonable price and started working on it last week. If all goes well, my schnazzy new site will be wowing everyone soon.

More to come...

New "Erik Bishoff Phtography" Logo

I've started work on new website that will be going live soon. Special thanks to my good friend Martin Grandahl of The Afterglow Lounge for the logo work! More to come...

Grand opening of erikbishoff.blogspot.com

With the impending upgrade to my commercial photography website at http://www.erikbishoff.com and the launch of my proofing site at http://erikbishoff.smugmug.com I thought it apropos to also launch a new "commercial" blog here at http://erikbishoff.blogspot.com.

I'm not new at this, I've been blogging, web-designing, and (most importantly) "photography-ing" for years but this summer it has all really started to come together.

Please visit my blog from time-to-time as I will discuss my ideas about running a small business, working in photojournalism, and exploring fine art photography. Every day I discover new techniques in photo-editing, discover new software and technologies, and find more and more new ways of better-serving my clients. I will be sure to offer up many tips and tricks while showing samples of my work. It is a lot to take in and I am hoping to use this blog not only to attract new clients but to organize my thoughts and dialog with my associates.
