Lights, Camera, Action

Just released is Hollander & Lexer's Fall/Winter 09 PR. And with it, the pictures I did for them.

I had the opportunity to work on a few projects with Hisham Benmira and Brian Cousins. This book, just out to the public, was a collaboration in front of and behind the camera. We were able to use some great tools to create a retro/contemporary book to show their new rags.

Head Shots

Head shots are one of many a way photographers make a living in the new economy. I happened to duck into one hour photo place near my house to see how business was going. I wanted to see if they had had a chance to upgrade their operation to coincide with advances in technology. Looks like there was no need. Keep it simply dummy.

When Photo Shoot Turns to Disaster.

Working with a baby can be unpredictable. After a generous feeding and small nap, it was time to sit for the camera. Lighting, check, wardrobe, check, makeup, check, cameras, check. We are good to go.

Four or five frames in, disaster strikes. We have a crying baby on our hands.

If mommy is not around when the baby cries, does the baby really cry?
Well if there is a photograph, yes.

More Baby Pictures

I couldn't help but to post this one.

It's 3:00am.
NY is as quiet as it will get.
All I want is to sleep.
The only thing getting in my way is my baby.

All I can ask is, while I am looking directly in a mirror, "what is this baby waiting for?"
She just looks straight back at me, as quiet as can be.

Animal Indeed

My wife and I had a baby two and a half weeks ago. The proper thing to do is post photographs of the little bundle of joy. Though, this being our first child, I was surprised at how little I knew about loving one's own child. I made this picture (and for obvious reasons did not show the rest of the family on the baby's website) and decided that it was accurate.



Who is this little creature that keeps me up all night?

A funny thing happened on location last week

It is always a pleasure to be surprised when photographing. Behind the door of this closet, I found a nice treat. Thanks Pam.
