andy BATT photos in Portland Monthly - writer Nigel Jaquiss plus more Al Harrington









I was asked by Portland Monthly to photograph Nigel Jaquiss, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist. Nigel has worked for the Willamette Week news weekly, breaking significant stories in the political landscape here in Portland. You can read the story and see Portland Monthly's selected image by hitting the newstand - it's a print exclusive. You can see some the current issue here.















Portland Monthly also optioned one my portraits of the March Fourth Marching Band. Their birthday party is coming up - this year there are 6 shows over 4 days, at Portland's Bossonova Ballroom - buy tickets now if you want to go.










And my 6 story tall banner of Al Harrington is still up at Madison Square Garden! And it's all over the subway system too! No word on how shoe sales are, but they are definitely making a visual impact! Plus there is some good buzz on the internets.

The Pierced Arrows - Seattle Sound Magazine
UPDATE: Jozzy over at www.piercedarrows.com, the official Pierced Arrows site, just added my shots. Check it out!


I had the privilege of photographing Portland band, The Pierced Arrows, for Seattle Sound Magazine last month. Fred and Toody's previous band, Dead Moon, kicked serious independent rocker ass for over 20 years. New drummer Kelly Haliburton rocked his rock and roll sunglasses and a sense of humor. They were all great to work with - professional and experienced doing the photo thing, but totally easy going and mellow. I wanted to play with a vintage look for this shoot, referencing some 4x5 portraits I'd done years ago, but without sacrificing the speed and quality of my DSLR - renting the 24mm Tilt Shift lens, and creating a custom B&W post look did the trick. For publication, Seattle Sound opted for the color versions, processed to give a cool black, slightly desaturated look.You can check out the magazine's site here: Seattle Sound Magazine and download the digital edition of the issue
You can read the whole thing, but to see my stuff head to pg 8, pg 20, pg 79
