My name is Jim Corso, I'm a freelance photographer here in Portland, OR and the Owner of Digital Photo Northwest. I specialize in concert/event photography with a bit of location portriat and candid photography mixed in to help keep the skills honed.
I grew up in the southern Willamette Valley of Oregon in a little town called Cottage Grove and I am very proud to call the NW home.
I picked up photography as a hobby back in 1985 while working for the US Forest Service as a firefighter in the Umpqua National Forest. Over the next 15 years and after many rolls of film and a major career change (returned back to school and became a computer geek) in 2000 my hobby turned into a part time profession. I joined into partnership with a local company shooting photos for a couple of different adult websites.
After the novelty of shooting erotic based material wore off, I found myself looking into a different direction for photography. Since I am a passionate motorcyclist, it made total sense to focus my lens on the art form of the motorcycle.
In 2003, I started shooting local motorcycle events and with that, I found myself also shooting the bands that were performing at these events. That experience has brought me to the present day.
Shooting live performances in my opinion has to be one of the most challenging aspects of photography there is. Things are in constant change, whether it is the lighting or the performers, you have to be able to adjust to your surroundings on the fly and also be able to think ahead for your next shot.
Most all of my work is done with ambient light. I as a photographer, want to capture moments in time that are true to the eye as one sees it, which also adds to the challenge of capturing that perfect photograph.
