Dog Soldier

Above are just a few images from the most recent concert from Dog Soldier. It was also the lead singer, Gabes, birthday. I am good friends with Gabe and the drummer in the band, Kevin Tooley. The three of us use to work together within an artist community off of Bowery in the Lower East Side. Kevin and I still try to find ways to work together as often as possible.

Hussle Club

So I had been taking a bit of a break from shooting music and bands, especially live performances. However recently certain things in my life have lead me to be drawn back to such work. One of my first returns to music photography was shooting Hussle Club at Hiro Ballroom in NYC. Here are some of my favorite images from that night.

Strange turn to a night of photo taking

I started planning to just take some product images, then it changed.

New Beauty Images for a Salon Client

Coffee images

I recently did portraits, and group shots of a phenomenal consulting group that works with restaurants, hotels, all those places on their drink programs. The group is recently branching off into a new area of the industry, coffee. We have started to do coffee shots for them, we did one shoot that went well but now have an even more clear image of what we want for the images and will have a second shoot to accomplish it all. I wanted to show this one image though that I liked most from the last shoot. What do you think so far????

New Food images from recent hotel job.

So am finishing up with my most recent job for Hyatt hotels boutique label, Andaz. This was a really fun assignment for me. The chef, Roberto is a fantastic guy and has done a phenomenal job with the food. The hotels design and interiors are wonderful, with stupendous structure and lines. There is so much natural light in the restaurant, The Shop, that we tried something new with this one and made the images brighter with natural light as the key and strobes for supplemental filler and emotional lighting. I brought a warmth to the images and the environment. I wanted it to be sort of chateau morning without ignoring the slickness and trendy New York side to the space. Let me know what you think!!!!
