Photographer One
Wide frames, light, location
Years of shooting cars on location along the Willamette and the Columbia. Plans the light, scouts the road, and handles the rolling and environmental shots.
Portland, Oregon
Two photographers. One obsession.
We shoot the cars of Portland and the Gorge, and the people who keep them.

Zine No. 01 · The Oak Green Issue
Native Green
A 992.2 Carrera 4 GTS, specced by someone who grew up under Douglas firs and ordered the car to disappear into them. The owner, the color, and every option with the reason behind it.
Read the issueEvery owner we shoot gets one of these: a short printed story about the car, the spec, and the person, not just a folder of files.
About
Burnside Photo is two people and a lot of years behind the camera. We're based in Portland and we shoot where the cars are: private garages in Lake Oswego and the West Hills, Saturday mornings at cars and coffee out in Beaverton, back roads past Sandy toward Mount Hood, and the Gorge forty minutes from home when the light cooperates.
Two of us means two angles on every car. One works the wide, environmental frames that set the scene. The other stays close for the badges, stitching, and worn switchgear that make a car feel owned rather than displayed. Every car gets both.
We've spent years learning how light behaves on paint, and we'd rather wait an hour for the right sky than fake it later. If you've spent years with a car, the photos should show it.

Details, interiors, portraits
