Musician Promo Images: Guitarist Gary Law
February 1, 2010 | Filed Under commercial | 6 Comments
When Gary asked me to do his promo pictures, he described his music as being very blue-collar in the vein of Springsteen. I knew immediately the perfect location: a factory on the outskirts of town. Unfortunately for us, it began to snow quite heavily and was cold – -12. But Gary was a trooper and I had enough weather protection gear to get out at least one full lighting rig for the shoot. And even better, my fingers did unthaw later that evening and I could use them again! Big thanks to Gary for braving the cold that night.

Most would consider the numerous paper factories of SouthEastern Finland to be a blot on the horizon. But with the help of a few lights, a very talented make up artist, and a two lovely models, it can become a whole new world.
From a shoot fairly close to the Finno-Russo border. This is the first model of the day, Nelli Sorvo (I will share Hanna’s images in the next post), and makeup/styling by the very talented (and wonderful to work with) Lotta Eloranta. And with special thanks working with fellow photographer Derek Latham during the day. I can’t wait to see his images as well and give big thanks for letting me work in his side of the country!






Commercial Work: Vintage Clothing Shoot

I was pleased to work with the lovely model Heidi for a vintage clothing shoot.
The first session she modeled a 1974 Bernard Freres shantung silk couture dress in the Chinoisiere style. She also modeled a 1964 Myer Kahan mod-style dinner suit.

As I get acclimated back to Finnish time, I can’t wait to go through all the images from the shoots in Australia. Here are some more favorites as I continue to go through my cards:




A Few Misc Images From Philadelphia and Jersey

I have been a part of an amazing set of sessions here – maternity on the Jersey shore, a bridal session on top of an iron bridge spanning the Delaware, teens in vintage 1960s trains… I LOVE my work! And a big thanks to Amy Ortiz of Saje Photography for her wonderful hospitality during my time there.




Updating a Modeling Portfolio

These images are of the lovely model Elyon. She braved the late Finnish Summer sun (11:00 pm) for wonderful shots at sunset. I tried to give her a variety of styles to show her versatility. All clothing in these shoots are antique (1890s) or vintage (1960s), from the shoes to the bustle cage under the bustle dresses.
