Head shot of the week

I’ll start posting more work here with lighting tips etc. We’ve done so much this year and we haven’t found time to post anything up. So I have tons of stuff sitting on my hard drive and it’s absolutely killing me :p.
I’ll start with a head shot of Carol taken about 3 months ago. Carol is a medical student at Columbia University. She was a pleasure to work with and although she was uncomfortable at first, after 40 frames and cracking jokes we got great results. I enjoyed doing this particular job.

Away and Inspired

If you like long winding roads, endless greenery, wide lakes and real isolation, then the trip I took this Thanksgiving holiday is right up your alley. We’ve been away in Poconos (Lake Harmony) since Wednesday and sadly we made the two hour journey back to New York this morning. My partner and I both agree this was the most relaxing trip ever, and the friends we went up there with made it all the more worthwhile.  Lets not forget to mention we spent most of our time cooking together, then eating every single thing with no regrets.  We didn’t just spend time eating though, the long morning walks we took up to the lake made us feel a little better about ourselves and lets not forget our mid-section. A few friends went sky diving and we also went to a Casino in Scranton PA, which didn’t do me any good because I forgot my ID. I was a bit peeved about not being allowed in and a little more so when I was accused of being a minor. All in all it was a great time away, and now we are back to reality. Back to the noisy chaos that’s New York City and all the work we have to do. This week it’s our big project for an eye wear company and I’m currently racking my brain for creative ideas and I’m coming up with nothing!!! *screams*. Hopefully we get to put up some of the shots from the shoot when it’s all done. By the way, how was your thanks giving? :)

Allen & Fifth Campaign

_MG_3520-22-Edit

It’s 12:40 am and I am still up. Spent the better part of the night editing and decided to put this post up before going to bed. About a few months ago we did a shoot for the T-shirt brand Allen & Fifth. Allen & fifth is run and owned by Ese Aigbogun and she is based in California USA. Her Tshirt designs are fun, witty and have character and I really love and own a few of them. Check out her website http://www.allenandfifth.com to see some featured designs and also shop online. I recently found out she has a blog as well, http://allenandfifth.blogspot.com ; where you can find updates on new designs and what she’s up to…. The shoot was done in the space of an hour and I am quite happy with the results…. Hope you all enjoy and have a happy thanks giving.

Here are a few shots from the shoot.
