Renaissance

I finished a new photo for This Is A Photoblog - the assignment was "Renaissance":



Also, Wonderful Machine recently highlighted my portfolio, and posted a video tour of my portfolio book on YouTube. You can watch it below if you'd like to get a sense of how I present my work for potential clients:

Hunger

I work with my dad's design Cyberia Media (link) quite often, doing photography and video for various projects. This latest project was really fun. I did most of the photo and video (the rest was stock) for a video called "Fed Up With Hunger" for the Jewish Federation. The Beastie Boys donated a song, and everyone worked hard to make this video great. The video can be seen on the Jewish Federation's website (link), or below!

XCVI Spring 2010

This season we photographed XCVI in a made-up magical garden. I love working with them because they are always up for trying new and fun ideas. I had so much fun on this shoot. Please click the image to see the 20 photos XCVI chose for me to retouch. Thanks!

Belle Parish Spring 2010

Last week I photographed Ali Landry's new children's clothing line, Belle Parish. While I had photographed children before, nothing could compare to the 3 baby and 2 toddler models I worked with. I honestly can say I couldn't have done it without my amazing prop stylist Katie. Please check out her work at katiebyron.com! We shot 18 outfits in 5 hours!!! Ali and her business partner Annie needed the photos retouched within a few days for a buyers show so I really had my work cut out for me. Luckily they were amazing to work with, everyone helped out, and the experience was awesome (and very educational).

Below are a few selects (please click photos to enlarge). You can find the other photos and info about Belle Parish on their website, belleparish.com.

Tear pages section!

I have spent the past week gathering and scanning as many of my tear pages I can find..I figured it was about time to add it's own section to my website. Please check it out and let me know what you think!

Trying something new.

Sometimes when I hit a creative block I gravitate to old inspiration, which have included a lot of films. One of my favorite filmmakers of all time is Samuel Fuller, director of the Naked Kiss and Shock Corridor (PLEASE rent these movies if you haven't seen them. The Naked Kiss is also available on YouTube here). While watching the Naked Kiss for the umpteenth time the other day I decided to do a fun shoot inspired by the film. I have been wanting to experiment with angles and light lately, so this was a perfect self-assignment. Also the next thisisaphotoblog assignment is to experiment with black and white, so I thought I could kill two birds with one stone. I shot with an SLR and Holga. Below is the SLR. The Holga film will be ready on Thursday and assuming it comes out okay will be posted in a few days. Many thanks to Ollie and Caleb for being amazing models as always.
