French Laundry
Back in December I did a shoot for Wine Spectator magazine, photographing French Laundry’s owner and chef Thomas Keller. Unfortunately we didn’t get to eat at French Laundry while we were there since it was early in the morning, but they did provide us with some of the best pastries I’ve ever had in my life. And, the gift bag they gave us full of freshly made desserts was gone within minutes of arriving home.
iPad Portfolio: Game Changer HD
After the iPad was announced I wrote about the potential for using an iPad as a portfolio… Well now the iPad is here (yes, i was one of the loser dorks standing in line at 6:30am) and I did a quick test with a few images to try it out.
I’m writing this on my iPad, and let me tell you, after only a day of use it’s still a major PITA. And don’t worry, I’m not going to talk about anything other than the iPad’s functionality as a portfolio… I’m quite certain there are thousands of iPad reviews out there by now for all the other stuff.
Investment Advisor Cover
The above image was used on the cover of the January 2010 issue of Investment Advisor (as if you couldn’t read).
I’m not big on compositing. I tend to like straight photography (although, now days you never can be too sure). Whenever I see a photographer who does those big time 52 images to make one image, I’m never really impressed. But, a lot of times I’ll go to the “personal work” section of their website and see straight images that I like.
Studio Wall
Similar to the image I posted last week (although this one was shot first). I’ve been throwing people up against the wall in my studio lately. Simple enough. I like the look of it. I’ll probably be doing more.
Big Hair
Here are a few shots I liked from today’s shoot. I’d love to have hair like this… even for just a day. Tomorrow I’m up early to shoot for Psychology Today.
