This site used to have another name and a slightly muddier purpose. Still photography, but more so for a portfolio and media experiment. As there are already many John Murray Photography brands in the wilds of the internet, it seems like a more individualized name is appropriate. The only other ISP Photography that I see is in the UK, and I do not think we will be competing in any way soon… or ever. They do amazing work. Check them out. Commercial Photographer Dorset Christchurch | ISP Photography . If there are still others, they aren’t in El Paso, Texas. And the .com version was taken by another photographer who just uses it as a redirect to his actual page, so I jumped on the .pro suffix /top domain. Saying semi-pro is more accurate, but this will do.
What is ISP?
I Shoot People.
Every photographer reaches a point where they wonder what kind of photographer they really are. What do they like the most to do… or what makes money. I fall into the first part. I realized that aside from the texture and flowers, I really like photographing people. More accurately, I like shooting people being people.
Informal Street Portraits
There are few better places to capture people being people than in urban streets. I do this for fun and possibly to meet someone who wants a more dedicated shoot at another time.
Image Sensor Processor
ISP hardware is a specialized component in digital cameras that converts raw image data captured by the image sensor into high-quality images. I like to think that the photographer can be described similarly. We attempt to convert a segment of the massive amount of time, light, and form data into a quality image worth sharing.
I am sure that I can work out a few possible meanings for ISP, and it will happen at times when I am far from a keyboard, but this is a good start.
