$206 billion against Philip Morris. $27 billion against Visa-Mastercard. $1.6 billion against Toyota.
Known for beating Big Tobacco and more, attorney Steve Berman has won successful verdicts in dozens of historic class-action lawsuits over a storied career, as founder and managing partner of Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro in Seattle. Now he is taking on pharmaceutical drug manufacturers, alleging gouging of American consumers with opaque, flagrant pricing.

Thanks to Senior Photo Editor Alissa Ambrose for the assignment and Jane Gershovich for helping on set.
Black Lives Matter Rally portraits for KUOW 94.9
Had an incredible opportunity to photograph a Black Lives Matter rally for KUOW in April. My editor, Isolde Raftery, asked me to make portraits of attendees in a similar style to my personal work at a rally last spring for Donald Trump. It was great to meet so many dedicated and passionate people in the streets! Once again, I used my studio lighting outside and on-location to highlight the marchers and make portraits.

Cary Moon is running for Seattle mayor. The windy day made things tough on a Belltown rooftop but she was a trouper. Photographed her in Feb. 2015 for a Seattle Weekly story on her opposition to building the Highway 99 tunnel and work as an activist and urban designer.

Brooks CEO Jim Weber for Running Insight
Photographed Brooks CEO Jim Weber for the cover of Running Insight down at their new Seattle headquarters along the Burke-Gilman trail.

Textio CEO Kieran Snyder for SHRM | Seattle editorial photographer
Had a great shoot last month with Textio CEO Kieran Snyder for HR Magazine and the Society for Human Resource Management. It was a fun job to take on at their downtown Seattle offices in between a day of team meetings. Snyder’s company helps improve job application language for maximum impact — always essential in our current hyper competitive Northwest job market.
Mod Pizza for Franchise Times | Seattle editorial photographer
Way back last spring I photographed Mod Pizza CEO Scott Svenson and his wife Ally Svenson at one of their Seattle locations of the wildly successful Mod Pizza chain. The shoot was just published (my first of the year!) on the latest cover of Franchise Times. Beth Ewen’s great piece details how Mod Pizza is willing to take a chance and provide meaningful employment to people from difficult backgrounds, encouraging loyalty and fostering a healthy workplace. I had a short amount of time to make multiple portrait options for a potential cover, inside opener, and a planned set of pages inside. Fortunately, Scott and Ally were super nice and easy to work with. So were their ace employees, who helped showcase this important story!
