<span class="text"><font color="#dddddd" class="text"> <p> </p> <p><img height="96" alt="" width="84" src="/users/MitchYork4268/Image//logozz.jpg" /></p> <p><span style="font-size: x-small">I am a Sacramento, California-based photographer who specializes in advertising, editorial, and stock photography.I was born and raised in Boise, ID. At the age of 13, I began shooting and printing my own work. From the beginning I was interested in the design of the image as much as the content of what I was photographing. My parents were ahead of their time in terms of their progressive ideas about art and architecture. My father was an architect/ interior design professional, who also painted and dabbled in photography and my mother had a unique eye for appreciating form, composition, and beauty in the everyday. Our homes, designed by my father, were filled with mid-century furniture, art, and architecture. In my early 20s, I moved to Portland, Oregon, to pursue a career in commercial photography, starting out assisting for C.B. Harding in a busy commercial studio. C.B. was an incredibly versatile, detail-oriented photographer, able to shoot everything from products and food to fashion and architecture. He never hesitated to share his gear, time, and knowledge generously. After 6 years, I transitioned into freelance work for many other photographers in Portland and 4 years after that returned to Boise, Idaho, to raise my family. During the early 90s, I began working full time for myself as a commercial photographer, Boise had a small but robust economy that featured a number of Fortune 500 companies. I developed relationships with local and national agencies as well as a base of direct local clients. My clients included law firms, ad agencies, design and architecture firms, theater groups, opera companies, hi-tech companies, state agencies, food and product manufacturers, power, grocery, and real estate companies, state lottery, venture capitalists, healthcare, travel, and telecommunications. </span></p> <div><span style="font-size: x-small">I am currently living in Northern California, pursuing the professional opportunities the larger Bay Area market offers. In my personal work, I am drawn to simple, real-life images that possess a certain nostalgic humor while maintaining a bold and graphic design. I am inspired to shoot the architecture and design of the 60s and 70s because I grew up in that time, I find it intriguing and fun, and the buildings and interiors of that era are unappreciated and rapidly disappearing.</span></div> <p><span style="font-size: small"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: x-small">Client list:</span></p> <ul> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">HP </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Proclarity </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Dell </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Micron Computers </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Extended Systems </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Microsoft </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">T-mobile </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Rightnow Technologies Inc. </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Orbitz </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Idaho Health and Welfare </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Highway 12 Ventures </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Idaho Power </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Energy Star </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Madame Tussauds </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Opera Idaho </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Boise Contemporary Theater </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Idaho Theater for Youth </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Idaho Lottery </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Supervalue </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Albertsons Inc. </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Catholic Health Initiatives </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">St. Lukes Hospital </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Blue Cross </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Pioneer Title </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Downtown Business Association </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Cornerstone Design </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Givens & Pursley Law Offices </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Hobie </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">QDS Tiremaster </span></li> <li style="text-align: left"><span style="font-size: x-small">Paraflex </span></li> <li style="text-align: left">Boise Weekly alternative newspaper</li> </ul></font></span><br>
