Roxy Mayer, a Lincoln High School Student, is a triplet (with two brothers). With a little styling from AJ’s Hair and Makeup, and the assistance of Roxy’s friend Molly, we had some fun with these portraits. She laughs easily, and is easy to photograph. We had a great time creating these beautiful Portland senior portraits in the Eastside Industrial Area…

Earlier this week, one of my July brides wrote and asked me an interesting question. She said she was looking forward to portraits on the wedding day, but wondered if, after the wedding, we could take some photos that didn’t treat the wedding dress like a precious object. She had found a website promoting such things, and I was intrigued.…

I have the very great honor of being a friend of Queen Elizabeth. Elizabeth Larson, that is. You know, the Centennial Rose Festival Queen, crowned on Saturday right before the big, wet parade? I’ve known Elizabeth a few months now, as she’s been working with me on a photographic project, and I helped her and a couple friends with an…

Erica is from the country, but she lives in the city. Her parents have horses, she has a desk job. Although she loves her work, and enjoys the city, she’s still a country girl at heart. And then there’s the rain: To view more of my environmental portrait photography, from Portland and around the world, please visit us at www.fritzphoto.com.

So she hired me. I like that. All photographs and content is Copyright Fritz Liedtke. Please do not copy or re-use them. To do so is a violation of federal…

Non-traditional engagement portraits. What more can I say? Beth and Willie are a hoot, and Oaks Park was the right place for some fun portraits. I won’t tell you what Congressman Willie works for. Partly because I can’t remember. But he’s really famous. I included this one, because I deserve a little face time here and there. And because you…

I find myself more and more drawn to faces, alone. I love to watch people, but usually in photographing them I’m making some statement about who they are, utilising their environment, dress, body language, action. But faces. Like a butterfly hunter with his swinging net, searching constantly for something intriguing, out of the ordinary, or even something lovely in its…

Manuel Izquierdo, Sculptor Portland, Oregon, 2004 This Spring, I will be teaching a new workshop at Pacific Northwest College of Art, called The Environmental Portrait. It’s a natural class for me to teach, since I love and have been making location portraits for a couple of decades now. Here’s the class description: When a photographer takes a portrait of someone…

Summer seems so long ago. At least now we’re past the solstice, and are wending our slow way back to more sunlight. Speaking of which, here are a couple of summer portraits, of a young lady from Lake Oswego. Doesn’t that sunlight on her shoulders make you warm all over? It makes me want to head to Mexico for a…

I love watching people, and faces are what make my artistic boat float. Last week I met Laura, who works at Print Arts Northwest (a wonderful gallery in Portland’s Pearl District), and decided I ought to include her in my Women’s Faces series (which just became a series, because this is the second one shot in the same style). (See…
