21 phones 63 shots

21 phones 63 shots, retouched and clipped out in 3 days...... Can't say who or what they are for, had to sign a NDA, look no logo's. This stuff can drive some people crazy but I love it. I just get in a zone...

In the Amazon

Went down to the Amazon for a quick shoot, just kidding.... Snuck back into the children's museum and saw me an alligator....

Annual Report Rocky Mount

Off to Rocky Mount for more annual report. I'll bore you with some history of where we shot. This was the old British Imperial Tobacco plant and is mostly renovated into a children's museum. Got rained on for the 1st outdoor shoot only got @ 20 frames off. I pack the whole kitchen sink when I go on location, I'm sure my assistants hate it. Most of my images are 2 or 3 lights. We shot in the lobby and it was a dark cave. I think we ended up with 8 or 9 heads Speedotron/Profoto/Alien Bee (product placement) for the lobby shot.

Merrill Lynch

So I've been working with my local Merrill Lynch office for about 5 years, every year they have a stake holder meeting. They only have @ 100 clients, I think you need around 500K for them to even talk to you. You'd think a bunch of rich people would be alittle snooty and boring WRONG. It's alot of fun and some great characters. This is kinda cheesy but in a cool way, they have digital photo frames around the office that run images of their clients, it represents who and why they work so hard. I was in the corner 3 lights Profoto 1200 (product placement) set-up, main fill and grid on back ground.

Oops.... some images from New Bern

Annual Report Starts New Bern

So I'm booked for 15 days for an Annual Report across the state of NC. The days are spread out so I'm trying to fill the gaps with small jobs here and there. The Annual Report is the coolest thing I've done in awhile, it's very concept drive. It will include art work panels that were commissioned and real life people in their environment. Also included will be some snap shot type images of the town. The first one was in New Bern ( sorry no production shots ). Time to break out the Tronix Explorer 1200 (Product placement). I ran a Profoto 1200 (Product placement) with 2 heads umbrella and a beauty dish with a grid. The recycle time was alittle slow, but I had a great model.The images need to have some contrast, they will be run in B&W so I'll use umbrella's instead of softboxes.

Christmas Sale

You got to love all the sales after Christmas. I started with 1 hot light (bottom 2 images) , but the ornaments were begging to be shot with softboxes. Split 400 watts to keep the shallow depth of field.
