Oldies but Goodies

I am digging through my portfolio getting ready for an exhibition in October, and I found these photos from a shoot with Ingrid Michaelson circa 2006. The shots were taken at Mansfield Hollow in Mansfield, CT.






I will be showing with painter extraordinaire, Jennifer Duff. Come check out her art opening entitled New Works in Pastel. I just finished photographing the artwork for the exhibition, and I promise it is beautiful! I am even featured in one of her portraits!!! Opening information is as follows:

More of Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers

I've been doing some more editing for Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers. They have some new recordings in the making, a website coming soon, and possibly a very good manager...keep an eye out for their upcoming album!

Scott

Portraits of Scott. Shot at Waterford Beach and Harkness Park yesterday.


Self Portrait in Scott's glasses.


This is my favorite shot.

The Self Portrait Sessions

Today I took some self-portraits. I'm pretty pleased with how they came out, and I have some new ideas for my photo shoot with Maggie in October. I have been getting really into mirrors and Christmas lights. I need to move away from this as I end up very sweaty (too many lights producing heat).

Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers...Take 2

The Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers photo-shoot series continues...
Today we strung up even more lights and added more continuous lighting with umbrellas. I shot these standing on a chair, trying to navigate umbrellas, in a very confined space. Very precarious, but very worth it. They are coming back for an outdoor photo-shoot next week. Send me your ideas! I'll be hitting the sketchbooks tomorrow.

The Farrel Goldberg Wedding

Here are a few select shots (from hundreds!) of the wedding of Sarah Goldberg and Mark Farrel. It was such a beautiful wedding, and I wish both of them happiness in their marriage!


Sarah looking ethereal amongst the trees.


My favorite shot!


Groomsmen.


Sarah and Dad walking down the aisle.

Beautiful Jocelyn

I dug up some old photographs from a photo-shoot I did, exploring some new lighting equipment. Here is a beauty shot of Jocelyn. I love the lighting here, and I hope to be able to recreate this with Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers (the band I am working with now). I will have to train them to "work the camera"!

Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers

I am doing a photo-shoot for the up-and-coming band, Billy Keene and the Lonely Soldiers. Their website forthcoming, but hopefully I will be able to post some links to their music in the next few weeks. I will be doing three photo-shoots with them with three different set-ups of my design. This is a very exciting project for me, and I have been madly sketching and testing lights and flashes.

This first photo-shoot called for a LOT of lights, and some good times taping, overloading electrical circuits, and trying to pose the guys in a very confined space! These are a few of the test shots. Today we'll be setting up even more lights, and hopefully getting some better shots.



This shot came out pretty grainy, but I like the idea of the futuristic black and white shot with lots of lights and reflective surfaces. The boys actually like the grainy, under-produced look, so maybe I will try to recreate this look in the official photo-shoot. Check back soon!
