Spotlight On Location Professional – Mike Floyd
The stunning landscapes of Oregon have been a great inspiration for the past 25 years. I have been exploring and photographing around Oregon and the NW since 1993.
After graduating from photo school at the Rochester Institute of Technology and a couple years as the park photographer for Yosemite National Park, I found my way to Portland and have been loving it ever since.
Several years as a photo assistant and photographer gave me the experience to know what a crew may need from a location, and what may go wrong once the crew is on site.
Being part of the PDX Latinx Pride planning and organizing committee has satisfied many parts of us, the members. The group wants to build community and heal ourselves through workshops, retreats and conversations. We also seek to see ourselves in many parts of the artistic spectrum. In fact, creating safe spaces and diversifying art in many mediums has been a goal for many of us. The majority of the committee is made up of multi-media artists. We are made up of musicians, performers, writers, designers, directors, as well as the ever creative parts of our organizing that may appear not to be, like finances, outreach and moderating.
