There is a reasonable amount of debauchery often going on behind the scenes of my shoots. I’ve began to collect a a pretty sizable collection of goofing off takes. We don’t get to nearly show off enough of it. So to get the ball rolling below is an outtake from a recent shoot for Money [...]
The American Society of Magazine Editors just announced the nominations for the Best Covers the Year and I’m pleased to say one of mine is among them. This cover was shot last year for Field & Stream magazine’s cheap thrills issue and is in the Sports & Fitness category. The image was a collaboration between [...]
Earlier this year I was approached by Addison Design to photograph annual report for Loews corporation. This was the first year the client decided to invest in original photography and they were looking for graphic and iconic. Claudia Kefalas was the lead designer on the project and she came up with the idea of using [...]
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 [...]
This morning around 7:30 I caught a local news report of a 7 alarm fire in chinatown NYC. I could barely believe my eyes where in the corner of the shot stood my studio. The fire tore through 4 buildings requiring 250 firefighters to put out. Fortunately my studio had a buffer of two buildings [...]
My ongoing collaboration with Field & Stream has been in full swing this year starting off with a couple of turkeys in the studio (insert joke here). Back in February we had a gobbler and a hen on set for a cover and a feature package shoot. As far as my sets go this was [...]
I’ve been fortunate enough to have gotten a couple of great conceptual illustration assignments (my favorite kind) from Fortune magazine. Back during the first week of January I was given the following concept by photo editor Amy Wolff: The gist of the piece is that healthcare stocks took a beating last year because of uncertainty over [...]
First off my apologies for a total lack of posting. The year has begun insanely busy for me and I’ve been shooting and in production on over a half a dozen jobs the past couple weeks continuing into next week. I’ll also be heading on location Thursday, always a thrill for a studio guy. Prepping [...]
If all goes according to plan my site will go live tomorrow with a few updates, particularly to the contact/client/award area. The motivation behind this update was a little bit of old fashion bragging. Well not really bragging, hopefully smarter self promotion. You see a few months back I was named one of the Art [...]
Last week PDN announced a little competition on their blog PDN Pulse titled “Cramped But Cool Studio Showcase”. I really liked this one as its a contest all in good fun instead of the normal competition fare. No late fees here. Also I love the voyeuristic angle of seeing inside the secret workspaces of other [...]
