Canadian Magazine Cover Of The Year Nomination
I just found out a cover I shot for Globe & Mail’s Report On Business Magazine was nominated for a National Magazine Award in Canada. Alas, since I’m not Canadian I couldn’t be nominated in the portrait category. Maybe if they knew I lived in Canada for a couple years and I got started in photography there that would change their minds. Either way thanks to Clare Jordan for hiring me to do this shoot and congratulations to everyone over at ROB Magazine. Good luck!
Joe Sullivan – Facebook CSO
As I mentioned in my Rebbeca Van Dyck post, I headed over to the new Facebook campus to photograph CSO (Chief Security Officer) Joe Sullivan for the cover of CSO Magazine.
I was hoping to get a shot that had a dark mysterious mood to it and after walking around Joe’s building in I knew I found my spot in this unfinished area. I felt like I was on an alien space ship with all the cables and tubes coming out of the ceiling. Of course, it could all be for the new Human Harvesting & Cloning Division of Facebook (Possible tag line: “Why does there only need to be one of you checking in to your favorite restaurant?”) Look for that feature in your Timeline soon.
Smile
Today over on A Photo Editor there’s a link to a Rodney Smith blog post about smiling in photos. Rodney doesn’t think smiling photos have substance. I don’t know that I agree with that, but I know I tend to like non-smiling photos. I have a total of seven on my entire website and only one in my portfolio (although it depends on what qualifies as a smile… there are some very slight smiles that I didn’t count). I tend to take things a bit further though… It seems I don’t even like people looking at the camera.
Emily’s Army – Travis Nuemann
Follow up on my post a couple days ago, last week I photographed Cole Becker and Travis Nuemann of Emily’s Army for Guitar World magazine. Here is an outtake of the other guitarist Travis Nuemann.
Emily’s Army – Cole Becker
Last week I photographed Cole Becker and Travis Nuemann of Emily’s Army for Guitar World magazine. The issue won’t be coming out until September so I can’t show any of the pics yet but here was an outtake I shot for myself because I really liked this giant door at the shoot location.
