Oklahoma wheat harvest shot on Pentax 67

February 14, 2016 by James Pratt

This past summer I spent some time photographing the wheat harvest across Oklahoma. Most of my images were shot with my Nikon digital equipment, but I did grab a few shots with my 1970’s era Pentax 67 film camera. This is my favorite medium format film camera I have used and I have several lenses […]

4x5x365 – Day 60

July 3, 2015 by James Pratt

An antique threshing machine sits parked in a freshly mowed field in central Oklahoma.

Sixty days. Doesn’t sound like much, but for me that is at least 60 sheets of 4×5 film and probably close to 60 hours of work on this project in two months! Whew, only 305 more days to go. Today I bring you a picture from a recent back road trip from Guthrie to Stillwater […]

Still working on photos from my wheat harvest assignment. I grabbed this photo during the morning maintenance before the harvest each morning. The guy on the left is a local farmer who works for his friend during the harvest, and the guy on the right is a custom harvester from England that comes over to the […]

4x5x365 – Day 56

June 29, 2015 by James Pratt

John Deere 9860 STS combine undergoing maintenance prior to the day's harvest.

Last combine photo for a while, I promise! I spent the past couple of weeks working on an assignment about the wheat harvest in Oklahoma so I have been around a lot of combines. Sorry about that, but this is what I got. This combine was sitting still in the field undergoing maintenance – an […]

OK Living Cover May 2020

Before the COVID-19 pandemic I toted my white background and lighting gear to Central Electric Cooperative in Stillwater for a cover shoot for Oklahoma Living Magazine.

Oklahoma Living April 2020 Cover and Feature Story

I always love assignments from Oklahoma Living Magazine. Most are centered around people, and I love photographing people.

Oklahoma Living Magazine September 2019 Cover

I had fun photographing this cover story for Oklahoma Living Magazine, one of my favorite clients.

It was toasty hot, about 98 degrees outside. […]

Goodnight Farms in Chattanooga Oklahoma

In 2017 I photographed a story about Cody Goodnight, co-owner of Goodnight Farms southwest Oklahoma.

Volunteer Firefighters for Oklahoma Living

I always love photographing real people doing real things. What could be more fun than photographing volunteer firemen? I got that opportunity recently for Oklahoma Living Magazine.

Rising from the Ashes – for Kansas Agriculture Magazine

During the summer 2017 I took a trip to western Kansas for a long-time client and photographed a couple of stories in the area.

Shawnee Mills for Oklahoma Living Magazine

Had a fun time photographing this story about Shawnee Mills in where else? Shawnee, Oklahoma. I love shooting photos of industrial-type settings and people at work.
