Norman Conquest with a Pentax 67

July 23, 2021 by James Pratt Leave a Comment

I decided to ride the Norman Conquest bicycle ride at the last moment. I got up at 5 am, loaded my bike, my Toyo View VX-125 large-format camera system, and my Pentax 67 camera bag. I was running late by the time I got to Norman and only had about 20 minutes to grab some […]

This is another one of those “stand in front of better subjects, take better photos” examples. This guy was very interesting, a hard-core rider, and made for a great photo. I like how he stood in front of his bicycle, relegating it to the background. I should have thought of that.

I was once told my a grizzled cigar-chomping editor – “Wanna take better photos? Stand in front of better subjects.” And he was exactly correct. Sounds simple, but it is true. I just gotta stand in front of cool subjects to take cool photos like this!

Another black and white portrait from my series at the Norman Conquest bicycle ride. I took these portraits after completing my own 23-mile ride in the hills east of Norman. I had my subjects hold their bicycles at my pre-focused mark – the X in the concrete – and once I had them properly aligned, […]

I love taking portraits of people, especially portraits that show what they do. I couldn’t pass up this opportunity at the Norman Conquest bicycle ride to take portraits of some of the riders when they completed the route.

Oklahoma Living Magazine cover February 2022

Once again I was able to photograph a cover for Oklahoma Living Magazine. I always like photographing their legislative issue, since I usually get to take portraits of leaders in our state government. It is always a challenge to do something new and different. This time the story was about civility in our state government, […]

Oklahoma Living Magazine cover July 2021

My most recent cover image turned into one of my favorite OK Living covers in recent years. I got this assignment to photograph off-road parks across Oklahoma. Heck yea, that is right down my wheelhouse!! Right after I got the assignment I happened to be in Disney on a dual sport motorcycle ride, but a […]

Oklahoma Living Magazine cover May 2021

I had the opportunity to photograph the May 2021 cover of Oklahoma Living Magazine. The subject was “careers in the electric coop industry” and I was to photograph several people working at a variety of jobs within the coop industry. I sent to Seminole and Ada, Oklahoma for these photos.

Oklahoma Living August 2020

I forgot to post this cover photo that I did for Oklahoma Living last year during the pandemic. I went to Stillwater to photograph a CareerTech student on a hot July morning. We were able to stay “socially distanced” while I did the shoot.

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. These usually require a fair amount of work, since I have to take an 11′ roll of white paper with me, plus all the gear to hold the paper […]

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. In this case, I was assigned to photograph a story about Gene Rowe, a farmer in southwest Oklahoma. The story was written by Adam Calaway, one of my favorite writers, so I knew it was going to […]

Oklahoma Living Magazine September 2019 Cover

I had fun photographing this cover story for Oklahoma Living Magazine, one of my favorite clients. I took this picture at the beautiful Chickasaw Nation Cultural Center in Sulphur, Oklahoma on a really hot summer day. I had to be careful to keep my models from sweating. 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. The assignment was for Top Producer Magazine, a regular client I work for in the agriculture industry. I photographed Cody and his father, fiancé and employees on their farm in early spring as they were getting ready for the wheat […]

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. My assignment was to photograph firemen from the Coyle and Woodcrest fire departments in Oklahoma. I had the idea to do a split-shot photo that showed both the […]

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. For one story I stopped in Clark County and photographed the Ashland Veterinarian Clinic for a story about how the clinic helped local farmers during and after a huge spring prairie […]
