New Two Day Class From the Nevada Museum of Art

The Photographic Portrait

Saturday Feb 25, 2012-Saturday Mar 3, 2012 / /9:00 am – 4:00 pm

Explore the power and subtlety of the photographic portrait. Learn to capture a subject’s personality through lighting demonstrations and photo shoots at the studio of photographer Jeff Ross. Designed for those looking to build their photography portfolio or apply to design schools, three hours of portraiture homework will be assigned each week. Access to a digital SLR is required.

Shooting for Thompson Creek Mine in Idaho

Jeff spent a week deep in the mountains of central Idaho. Battling temperature near zero and frozen cameras, he met and photographed employees for Thompson Creek Mine. The ad campaign features two side to the employees. The hardworking, get the job done side and then the more personal slice of life side. Even with the camera locking up at frigid temperature Jeff got some great images for the client.

Located in the rugged mountainous terrain of east-central Idaho at elevations ranging from 6,000 to 8,500 feet above sea level, Thompson Creek Mine is 35 miles southwest of
Challis in Idaho’s Custer County. It is situated on a combination of private and federal lands, partially within the Challis National Forest. Primary access to the mine is by improved county and private roads. The mine property covers 2,500 acres and includes an open pit, mill and tailings facility.

Thompson Creek Metals Company is one of the world’s top molybdenum producers.

New shoot for Military Spouse Magazine




From caring for his Doberman Pinscher and min-pin to shooting out on a gun range, Robert Duncan is a cowboy with one hat but many talents. Jeff Ross Photography spent the afternoon with Robert and his wife Donna and their son Cody in Fallon, Nevada. We learned a few things about gun safety. And respect for large Dobermans. Robert will be in an upcoming issue of Military Spouse Magazine , which features spouses of active duty service personnel.

 


Jeff Ross Photography was on location last week with our long time client Animal Artistry. February marks the wrap up the the Safari Club International convention held in Reno each year. Animal Artistry is a major exhibitor for the convention and displays many dioramas from its clients. AA has us come in to their facility and photograph their elaborate pieces before being shipped out to the clients.

Off to the Races



Jeff Ross Photography had the pleasure of spending a day in the studio and a day at the track with this brand new SuperLite class racing truck. The truck is built here in Reno by Speed Technologies. The SuperLites are the latest of several racing class that they build.

Ronnie Parker of Boost Creative is putting together a campaign for Speed Technologies’ new truck.
