Happy Friday! Hopefully this will warm up a chilly New England day. Check out the cuteness of little Mary. I don't do too many "studio" sessions but I found a location I've been dying to shoot in and what a model I had to work with. I couldn't go wrong. Check out a few from the session. Enjoy. ps. she actually reminds me of my daughter Gia a lot. A lot more calm than Gia but looks-wise!
With the snow falling again today here in CT this shoot will bring a little warmth to the chilly weather. We were going back and forth waiting on the weather to see if we could get this shoot in. I thought it was going to be to wet and rainy but man was I wrong. The snow was perfect and Katherine and Jason were amazing to work with. Take a look at what we ended up with.
If you don't know someone and are trying to find out more about their business, services, personality etc, a lot of times you'll look them up and check out their "about me" page. I myself have 1 and I can't talk about myself without talking about my family. It's everything to me, absolutely everything. Nothing is more important in my world. Some will try to keep their business and personal photos/feelings/insights separate, and I thought about it, but it's too much of who I am in all aspects of my life. So I feel like I'd be hiding a huge part of me if I didn't share. The collage below IS my about me page. My favorite "personal" photos from 2013.
Last week we were able to get into the Southington Crossfit building to play around with some lights and portrait stuff. If you're on the fence about joining crossfit, stop by here, talk to the coaches and they'll have you hooked. Great atmosphere. Anyway here are a couple finished shots from the other day. Photo of me is courtesy of Rob Booth.
We'll be back shooting more crossfitters sooon. Enjoy.
This setup is 1 alien bee in Beauty dish to light my face, 1 alien bee lighting the backdrop setup and 1 flash in the far back right corner lighting the brick wall
1 alien bee in a beauty dish
Again 1 light in a beauty dish
This is where I spend a lot of my life. I'm a sucker for before/after photos of projects so here is 1 of my own. This is a long overdue post, but I finally had the room clean enough to photograph. The wife would have words with me otherwise. I honestly love the feel of the room and the fact that the kids aren't allowed in here...who I am kidding, they're down here all the time. I've watched many a "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" down here. Take a look at "my" space.
Love all of the little pieces down here like the driftwood from Block Island and the Mariano print from a game I shot at Yankee Stadium
This is my favorite area below. The shelves are made from pallet wood.
The desk is made from an old door from the house and a couple ikea legs
a few vintage cameras from antique shops
My favorite print of Anthony
Pallet coffee table and my shelf above my tv
I wanted an easy way to swap photos on my wall so I made a little ledge to lean my framed prints
I couldn't be happier with the transformation.
