Italian Curves Ahead!

I had the privilege of photographing some beautiful automobiles in studio just a bit ago. A Ferrari 330GT, a Dino 246GTS, and a Ferrari 550 Barchetta. Working with Anthony Sinnott from Scuderia Performante, and some of his best clients;  I created a number of images for coffee table books and decor of these fine Italian automobiles for his beautiful shop in Great Valley

If you or someone you know has a car that they love and love to show off, schedule some time with me for a photo shoot.  My eye as a long time car lover will help bring the story of your baby to life.  Capturing unique angles and playing with light to bring forth the power and grace inherent in your vehicle.

Homie!

Meet Homie! I saw Homie talking on his cell phone during a custom motorcycle shoot for Pirelli Tires. He builds fantastic custom bikes and was profiled in the consumer ad we were shooting.

The way he so animatedly involved his entire body in his conversations just begged to be photographed.  I asked him to do his thing in the cyc with his phone.  The result was this awesome personality photos, put into banner format.

Throwback: Mud is more fun with Pirelli tires!

I made these images for Velocity Inc and Pirelli Tire way back in 2006 for a series of print ads and collateral.

Creative brief was simple: get me a bunch of killer photos that say traction and speed.

Did a number of stop motion flash setups and mud in your eye compositions.

Tree climbing for the overhead shot earned me a gold star!

Precision and Craftsmanship: Product Photography

With any craft, precision is essential.  I take great pride in the precision and attention to detail I bring to each of my shoots.  A recent shoot for small medical devices showcased this well.  For this layout, I designed my shot for both a print spread and a web banner. I used a Leaf 40 digital camera back on a Hasselblad so depending on the clients future marketing needs this image could be repurposed in vertical format for print advertising, brochures or a large trade show banner.  Lighting was essential to capture the ideal image. I exposed with Broncolor strobes and I made the shadows cooler by using a light blue gel in the over head fill; all while keeping the highlights clean with neutral main light. The finished image was clean, detailed and precise, just like the products shown.  Achieving the right look for each product shoot can be simple, with the right tools.

Beach Glass

View fullsize

Littering is bad karma. Our planet is so precious and our most important job as its inhabitants is to protect it. That said, beach glass is the beautiful result of the careless act of tossing manmade glass into the ocean married with years of natural abrasion by wave and sand.

It has many names: mermaid tears, sea glass and trash glass among them. These particular pieces are part of my wife Elizabeth’s collection, gathered from many beaches from California to New Jersey. For this still life shot, I set the pieces in water and black lit them, illuminating their shape and vibrant colors. This photo is a favorite in my product and still life portfolios and is used as wall decor in my studio.
