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.

Nelli

December 30, 2009 | Filed Under commercial | Leave a Comment 

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!

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

June 8, 2009 | Filed Under commercial | 5 Comments 

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.
