Having photography LEGS in this economy.
A recent shoot for Parker, The very awesome Diana, and her long legs waiting on set.I have always been interested in photographing all sorts of things people, places, and things. In the business of photography that can be considered a bad thing. The argument being that you can’t do everything equally well. How can you be an expert in all things? I do agree with that argument to a degree. Which means that if you want to work you have to specialize Read More…
When in Vegas…
I did the big murals for the huge restaurant at the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas; which were a big hit. My client then asks me to do some more photographs for the billboard advertising of the establishment. This being Las Vegas of course the concept was pushing hard against political correctness. We also had to shoot in Vegas because the models were there. It was a fun shoot.
Here is the final billboard…I think it turned out pretty well. This was not the original concept. The original concept was deemed too racy, and not used. Unfortunatly I am not going to post those. Sorry! Hopefully next time I am out there I will see the billboard in person and take a photo of it. Its my first billboard after all.
Shooting in the studio
Here is a finished shot of a big project I did in the studio. A while back I posted some stories on the production of these shots. You can find it here, and another here.
I really have no excuse for not posting it sooner. I have been dying to show it off. Many thanks to Jessica Silverman from Wilhelmina models. She was professional, energetic, and simply perfect! Also gotta mention my retoucher Mark Beckelman of Beckelman imaging for the usual great job, also the assistants, and stylists who played a big part. All sets were built in the studio by moi, with some help of course.
Samsung: Africa
Shot a mini campaign for Samsung to be used in the African market. Magazine, newspaper, bill boards, bus stops, the works. It was lots of fun, with lots of high energy jumping and cheering mostly by me to get the models motivated. I can’t take credit for the retouching though the agency Agendanyc managed that. Nice job!
Strongman!
Here an outtake of a shot I did recently for a non-profit. They were looking for something that showed some muscle, and work out in an indirect way. Thanks to our very buffed model Jay Larcher.
Kids……
Kids are tough to photograph….They don’t listen, they get tired, get cranky, and at times they just don’t care. Sometimes though you connect with them, and they can be fearless. Like the photo below…..
Just did a fun project for an international client….no its not for Nike®, although that would be nice too! The ball just happened to show the logo. This is one of the images I did for myself after the shoot. So much studio work these days. It’s a nice change of pace from pure location work.
Geisha the movie: Behind the scenes production video
Ok, the last piece of the project. No more geisha after this! Well unless another project pops up. The art has been installed and has gotten very positive comments. In fact I have been commissioned to make another piece for the client.
Thanks to my crew who really, really helped make this happen, and continue to do so for other projects on a regular basis.
