Jason Stengren's Online Portfolio

Hi, and welcome to my VoodooChilli.net portfolio. I originally grew-up in Los Angeles, CA (USA) and learned photography both from high-school classes, my father (who has done photography most of his life), and through experimentation. I was loaned my dad's old manual SLR when I left for college, and taught myself about the various aspects of photography while living in gorgeous Humboldt County, CA. In 1996, I began dabbling in freelance web design and quickly developed my skills working with Adobe's Photoshop; a nice compliment to my photography hobby. Once digital cameras became commonplace, it was only natural to merge my technical and photographic skills into what you see here today.

My focus, historically speaking, has been on abstract macro photography. I find each random walkabout to be somewhat of a treasure-hunt for the obscure, and I love most the images where shadows, patterns, and colors are skewed in such a way that the original subject is nearly lost... but a new one has been created! Lately, my fascination with old machinery, junk yards, and relics of the past have begun to take-over my portfolio. Who knows what's next.

Tools: Fujifilm F30 digital camera, Adobe Lightroom, and Adobe Photoshop.

I currently live in Portland, OR (USA)
