- I am an outdoor lifestyle photographer and filmmaker based in Seattle WA. I love to push the envelope with my work and I enjoy sharing what I learn along the way.
This blog will show both current work as well as how-to's and insight on becoming a better photographer and DSLR filmmaker.

Simple Photography with the 5D: Gospodor Monument
Gosporod Monument. Canon 5D + 17-40mm
I have passed this strange monument many times on the way from Seattle to Portland. This time I could not resist stopping.
Each time I passed I marveled at the weirdness of this place alongside the highway. To me it looked like a new-age-chakra, pyramid power center, crystalline green, weirdo monument to the Aztec Calender. Or maybe a state project gone awry.

Two from the 5D, One from the iPhone and an Anouncement.
Rubble, 9th Ward. New Orleans, LA. 2008.
This is a photo from my two week trip to New Orleans this year as Director of Photography for the film Independent America: Rising from Ruin.
Canon 5D + 50mm.
Hair. Coeur D’Alene, ID. 2008.
Taken during the annual Car D’Alene Parade in Coeur D’Alene ID. Canon 5D + 50mm.
Slain Coyote. Priest River, ID. 2008
While hunting moose in Priest River ID with my dad as part of his 65th birthday, a hunter in a white truck pulled up to show us a coyote he had shot as part of a bet with his buddy (who apparently said that there aren’t any coyote in the Priest River area.)
While talking I shot a quick picture with my iPhone. Yes it is weird to pull out an iPhone when around hunters. It’s like an alien technology…
So the big announcement is……drum-roll please…..
My website has been updated! YES truly!! And this time it will incorporate my film portfolio as well.
So head on over to www.kirkmastin.com, check it out and let me know what you think!

Two from the 5D: Bryan Clark
Fixed Gear Wheelie. Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle WA.
Sir Bryan Clark. Gas Works Park, Seattle WA.
This last week I have been moving from Wallingford to Magnolia, two distinct neighborhoods in Seattle.
Moving is stressful. Working with clients at the same time as well as participating in a book/art project is stressful too.
Somehow I managed to squeeze in a photo shoot with my friend Bryan as part of the Aurora15 project in between shuttling things between houses and finishing several projects with current clients.
The first image was shot with a Canon 5D and a 17-40mm lens. The second image was shot with a Canon 5D and 70-200mm lens.
As usual I used the sunny 16 rule (old school method of calculating exposure in your head) and then brought the photos into Lightroom for 80% of the toning, finishing with some more stylized toning in Photoshop.
I haven’t been shooting much fixed gear related imagery for a while but I think I’ll be hitting it hard again this fall and wrapping up a final culminating film about fixed gear culture this winter.
