I got to photography Whitney Houston along with Bebe & Cece Winans at a NJ Nets basketball game back in the early '90's for a radio station. She was there along with her mom Cissy and a girlfriend. It was a trip to listen to all four (2 Winans & 2 Houstons) singing just for fun in the Net's bathroom before the show. Commercial photography takes you places you would never imagine... We'll miss you girl.
You have to admit, this is one beautiful car. I'm trying to loosen up my car photography. I want the images to look great, but real. I am best known for food and fashion but when the job to shoot a car comes in, I want to be ready and keeping up to date is important. I can still shoot cars in a studio with perfect highlights, but I am enjoying this looser style.
This was breakfast last Wednesday. I poured myself some Post Honey Bunches of Oats and when I saw the morning sunlight streak across the bowl, I could't resist grabbing my camera. By the way, the cereal was yummy!
I've been busy (thankfully) lately. I especially appreciate this during this current recession (my third since opening my studio). This job was a lot of fun. I spent three days shooting in a high security storage facility in NYC's upper east side. This job involved shooting still-lifes of many different antiques that were going to auction. These were for the catalog. I shot a Chagall pastel as well as other works of art, furniture and many beautiful things. The room I set up in was small so I had to get creative with the light. I even lit the art work with my modeling lights (tungsten) because I couldn't get the strobes low enough.
Hey, it's money with a camera and in the end it was all fun.
As a photographer I love teaching because it keeps me connected to kids. I have 2 of my own and it even helps me communicate with them. To that end I also love to help out the screaming rock bands. This was a shoot for their Think Quick clothing line. They were tons of fun. Just like it should be...
Okay, I'm old. But I love hanging (for limited amounts of time) around with the bands that Wolves vs Lions designs shirts for. This band is Ender plus there were some shots of friends of the company. The shoot was fun and we got 12 GB of great shots. Remember: if it's not fun, it's not worth doing......
I am known mostly as a food photographer by my clients although I have been hired to shoot fashion, portraits and products as well in the last year or so. This image was taken in Spain while my wife Barb and I sat in an alcove next to a hallway in the hotel lobby. I was playing with my camera when I happened to notice a bride and groom almost passing before us. It strikes me as funny that the people sitting in the alcove had no idea that this was one couple's most important day. I love this image because it is one of those bazaar moments in time. It could have been capturred in the 40's.
