Bicycle Coalition of Maine

I recently did a pro bono assignment for the Bicycle Coalition of Maine to create a portrait series of their staff members.  The photos would be used in their newsletter, website and marketing pieces to allow their large member base to learn about the faces working behind the scenes. The Bicycle Coalition of Maine works hard to advocate for cycling in the State of Maine through many avenues including large organized group rides, educational programs and working with the Maine DOT and local communities on creating bicycle infrastructure that helps to integrate cyclists and motorists. I have been a member of the coalition for a number of years now, I am a Certified League Cycling Instructor (LCI) and teach bicycle safety to children and adults as my schedule allows. The Bicycle Coalition approached me about taking some photos for them, they did not have a specific idea in mind.  I worked with Brian Allenby, the communications director, and suggested a series of professional environmental portraits.  The idea was well received and we got to work right away on creating the portraits.  As part of my personal work series I focus on cyclists as often as I can and thought this project would be a nice addition to the cycling work already in my portfolio.  I am always looking for new cyclists to photograph, mountain bikers, road cyclists, cyclocross racers, commuters or even delivery people,  if you are interested in being a part, please contact me here.
