Information

Greetings!

I consider myself a semi-professional photographer, doing mostly freelance work. I call myself "semi-pro" because I don't do this for the money even though I probably take it as serious as others who make photography their career and primary revenue source. More details on other projects and ventures I'm involved in can be found on the Mike Perry home page.

Here you will find samples of some of my work over the years and information on my services. Here are some of my specialties:

  • Musicians, bands & special events
  • Commercial, promotional (architecture, food/product photography)
  • Scenic
  • Sports
  • Model & Boudoir, head shots, modelling portfolios
  • Computer manipulation of images
  • Analog and digital photography & videography, post editing

  • Internet & Web publishing, broadcasting, cybercasting, streaming media

Additional documentary and wildlife photography can be found at Fishworld.com.

Photography for me is a passion more than a vocation. As a result, I'm often willing to perform services for little or no cost if the project interests or challenges me.

Equipment:

I shoot both digital and analog photography as well as videography. However, I prefer to shoot traditional print and slide film. I work mostly in color though I occasionally do black and white (mostly for modelling shots).

My main equipment includes:

  • Nikon F100, Nikon 8008s, Pentax K1000
  • Various Sony, Minolta and Nikon digital cameras (none of which I'm ultimately happy with so I see no reason to endorse specific models - but I am excited about the evolution of digital photography - it's getting here)
  • Lenses: Nikkor 27-70 f2.8D AFS, 80-200 f2.8D AFS, Tokina 20-35mm, Nikkor 28m f2.8, 50mm f1.4, etc.
  • Video: Sony CCD-VX3, DCR-PC100, various others..
  • Underwater video equipment capable of shooting broadcast-quality video to depths of 300 feet/100m.
  • Lots of other equipment that I'm not interested in listing (like anybody cares.. hehe)
