Phillip Toledano has been on the top my list of hero photographers since my days in college. While I’m often not so overwhelmed with a lot of commercial shooters’ personal work Toledano’s newest project “A New Kind of Beauty” is just plain stellar. Photographed in the style of a classical painter the images truly draw [...]
What I thought would be a few days break from blogging due to a busy schedule turned into a full blown two month hiatus. To say we’ve been busy at the studio would be an understatement. The past eight weeks have been spent on 16 photo shoots, 4 videos, and 2 red camera shoots. After [...]
A pretty great interview was posted yesterday at The Loud Cloud Creative featuring the magazine industry’ star designer Scott Dadich. It’s a great and in depth discussion about Dadich’s experience and thoughts taking a magazine into the age of the tablet. As we all gear up for this new world of video and moving images [...]
I was leafing through Fast Co the other day and came across this great Dan Winters image of an oil well on fire. I was quite curious how he managed to find an oil rig that happened to be up in flames. Fortunately I had lunch with Fast Co photo director Meghan Hurley last week [...]
The 2010 T Design Spring Issue featured a pretty fantastic spread from one of my heros of photography and a former employer Ilan Rubin. Ilan ranks as one of the very top influences on my career and I had the very good fortune to land a gig as his retoucher for half a year or [...]
I was personally hoping for a snow day today, but my guilty conscious got the best of me and I made it to the studio for some much needed retouching action. With snow on the mind I recalled my favorite series of snowy day imagery by fellow MFA grad from the Savannah College of Art [...]
This morning while on the train to work I was treated to a great facebook posting by a former assistant, now friend of mine Marlene Rounds. Entitled “Five Years Fifty Photographers Later”, Marlene put up a gallery of 35 polaroids of herself in “the trenches”. Here are a couple of my favorites. One of the [...]
A few months back I featured the work of my friend and super talented fellow photographer/ SCAD alumn David Field. Well David just informed me that he is in a three photographer winner take all race sponsored by Hasselbald. Over the next 3 months David will be competeing in photographic challenges and tweeting about his experience. [...]
On the subject of my recent obsession with all things video, you should all check out Steve Cohen’s very cool foray into the moving picture. It’s stop motion done extremely well. The client was Gravure. This is by far the best example I’ve seen of a photographer going video. Check it out here. Below is [...]
Still life shooter extraordinaire Craig Cutler has the ominous text above posted when you go to his site. With all the buzz in video I’ve been really trying to figure out where I would fall into it as a still life guy. So I’m curious to see what one of the best out there has come [...]
