Directing Models

Directing Models to get precisely what you want can be very challenging, but sometimes it's a lot of fun! As you can see Gavin hit the mark.

Beyond the Call of Duty

My daughter Sadie was a real trooper in going the extra mile to assist me in a last minute photo shoot for Family Fun. We made some great images and Sadie was able to keep her Track & Field injury dry while she recovers hopefully in time for the Spring season.

Model Makes the Shot

It's always a thrill to walk in a store and see one of your images hanging there. This particular one reminded me of how much a model can make a shot. Brynn is a very cute and enthusiastic model who always brings great energy with her. I call her a "point and shoot" model because that's basically all you have to do!

How's your Winter?

Whew! This has been a rough winter for many of us. So I try to live by the old adage, when given lemons make lemonade. We'll we got a lot of snow so I decided to make a Snow Bride with the help of a great Hair & make up artist Deborah Engelsman. Thanks to my daughter Sadie for providing a look on how we did it.

How's your Fall going?

I couldn't pass up shooting the fog that's on the lakes as the temperature drops in the fall. Now come's the video editing for a new pharma test spot coming soon.

How was your summer?

I hope your summer was great! We took our girls to Brazil for World Youth Day. What an experience! I was warned by many not to travel to Brazil with a lot of expensive gear because of wide spread theft. My solution was to take my back up body, a Canon 5D Mark II, and a 50mm lens. It was fairly compact and allowed me to shoot rather conspicuously. I was able to use photo merge for more wide angle stuff and the Mark II sensor gave me a large enough file to zoom in on other shots and I was able to shoot with Hi Def video. If I only brought my iPhone, I'd be kicking myself!

Salty

I had the great pleasure of recently working with Jarrod Saltalamacchia, catcher for the Boston Red Sox. He and his wife Ashley could not have been nicer and more hospitable.  West Palm Beach is very nice this time of year. Thanks for a great shoot!
