This past fall, I had the opportunity to meet and photograph Danny Hillis—renowned inventor, engineer, author, and scientist—for the Financial Times. Hillis is cofounder of the Long Now Foundation and the designer of a 10,000-year mechanical clock.
I’m excited to announce our lineup of Baring Scars Project shoot dates for 2026, beginning with our first: Friday, February 20, 2026.
The Baring Scars Project is a portrait and storytelling project documenting men living with and beyond cancer. Through intimate portraits and video interviews, the project reveals the visible and invisible scars left behind. Baring Scars is meant to challenge the silence many men carry around illness, vulnerability and survival.
As a New England based editorial photographer, I get the opportunity to meet and photograph some amazingly talented people. People like Jason Wilbur, an automotive designer turned luxury watchmaker. From a laptop and a desk in his Vermont home, Wilbur created timepieces that probably cost more than your car (certainly more than mine). …
Fishermen—and the working waterfronts they depend on—are a defining part of Maine’s culture and identity. Those tied to the fishing industry work in challenging, ever-changing conditions, both at sea and on shore.
Last month, I had the chance to photograph Dr. Joan LaRovere, Associate Chief Medical Officer for Transformation at Boston Children’s Hospital, for The Financial Times of London.
Over the past year, I photographed Commissioner Judy Camuso of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife (MDIFW) as she experienced Maine’s natural landscapes through different seasons. These portraits reflect her deep connection to the outdoors and her commitment to conserving the places she loves.
I met with the marketing director of a non-profit for coffee this week to discuss a pending project. Face-to-face meetings like this rarer now, even more than a year after the WHO pronounced the Covid-19 Pandemic officially over.
Yesterday afternoon, I found myself randomly picking up photographic gear—a power cord here, a light meter there, a reflector, stowing a canvas backdrop—and I realized I was way too tired to finish.
This week, I returned from hiking the Laugavegur Trail in Iceland. The 34-mile (55 km) trail winds from Landmannalaugar through the Fjallabak Nature Preserve to Thorsmork (Þórsmörk).
As part of my ongoing Creating Spaces series featuring Maine artists in their working environments, I had the opportunity to work last fall with Heide Martin and her husband, co-founder Patrick Coughlin. The couple operate Rockland, Maine-based Heide Martin Design Studio, creating unique and functional furniture and housewares. I was drawn to the studio because…
It’s election year, which last month led to the opportunity to photograph Independent Maine Senator Angus King for his reelection campaign. I’m used to hauling gear to handle any lighting situation. This time, though, I was just carrying a couple of cameras and a small off-camera flash. It felt like being a newspaper photojournalist again.…
I’m thrilled to announce the website relaunch of our sister brand, MaineHeadshot.com. A few years after establishing Fitzgerald Photo, I recognized a gap in the Portland area for specialized studio headshot services. That’s how Maine Headshot came to life, catering specifically to the unique requirements of business professionals and actors. Many clients come for their…
I’m excited to share one of the assignments I did for Colby College recently. This was to photograph Amanda Stent, the inaugural Director of the Davis Institute for Artificial Intelligence at Colby—the first such cross-disciplinary institute at a liberal arts college.
Last year, I set a personal goal to walk or hike 2023 miles. It was a last-minute decision, sparked by a desire to shape up before a five-day backpacking trip in Iceland.
