Spent the day cleaning and organizing the studio - Some goodies I found. My first ibook, think it's OS 8.01 A box of old polaroids, Oh the memories. What's a polaroid ? A catalog from last year where I actually won 2 silver awards
Lighting vs no lights ...... I saw Christine sitting in the park the other day so I grabbed some gear and ran up there. I've shot Christine before for my Neighborhood Project and was not happy with the results. I shot her with hard light last time, so this time I took an umbrella. She still looked very shinny and when retouched looks like a Glamour shot. Ended up shooting with available light, not really my style but better results.
Sun Chips ...... they really are healthy ....... With the help of my intern Maria Brubeck Small softbox, grid for back light Arri hotlight on background blue gel and a focus pull.

I'm a full time working commercial/advertising photographer. This is a place to show and talk about the boring, sometimes exciting world of commercial photography. Hopefully this will be more a behind the scenes look at images that I create.
