Welcome to Hansen-Penman Photography! This is a Journal of my Journey!
Iowa State Fair Entries
Entered four photos in the Iowa State Fair Photography Salon this summer and three were selected for display. I also got my first award, a blue ribbon for first place in the Downtown Places and Faces category with Japanese Garden IR (pictured below), an infrared shot of a garden near the Des Moines Botanical Center downtown. So incredibly happy about this!!!!
Publication!
Shot at another fire department training burn recently! Very exciting and awesome shots! Will upload some soon. In the meantime, four of my photos from the first training burn made it in a publication! Iowa Firefighter Nov 2013 issue, vol 13, no 5, the official publication for the Iowa Firefighter's Association. This shot made the cover!!! So exciting!!! This photo was also selected for display at the Iowa State Fair Photography Salon this year and made a brief appearance on a PBS documentary on the judging of this event.
First Senior Shoot
I did my first professional paid senior portrait shoot this August. The photos turned out great! Here's one of the shots. Had a great subject!
Gwen Sebastian Concert
Got the chance to shoot another concert! So excited!! Another up-and-coming country music singer by the name of Gwen Sebastian. She was on American Idol. She is amazing in concert! So much energy and a blast to shoot!
Gas Station Shoot Up!
Finally had enough data to upload all the shots from the Gas Station Shoot I did with Sydney Lett! Check 'em out! We had a great time and they turned out really good! Here's another preview.
