Each year, ADP Screening & Selection services releases statistics on the background screening industry. Jeremiah designed the 2007 and 2008 indexes.

Title: After the End of the World…
Client: John Joseph Adams, Tor.com
A post-apocalyptic image created for a Tor.com caption contest, as a promotion for the Wastelands anthology. The model is Mo Cromer. The shoot was held in the hills outside of Fort Collins, Colorado. The city skyline and broken moon were added via Photoshop in post.

Shots from a recent photo expedition through the American Southwest, of the famous slot canyon near Page, Arizona.

A selection of the best nature photography we’ve taken, including all kinds of critters and landscapes.
Title: On the Run
Client: Travis of Shear Terror/portfolio piece
This shoot was done for Travis and Ames. Travis is the man behind Shear Terror, a hair styling business. For this shoot, they requested a theme that would show both the good and antagonistic sides of love. We used bad 80s movies as a template, with a mismatched pair handcuffed together and on the run.
