Salon and the City

I love word of mouth advertising. It means a lot to find out that my clients, friends and family support my dreams everywhere they go. Word of mouth is how I got hired to shoot for this amazing beauty salon called Salon and the City.
I was meant to shoot the stylists and the the general shop, which I figured was going to be fine. Always be ready for the unexpected right? Well the day before my slave flash decided to "retire" and I was left without my "trusty" flash. Oh well. My mantra has always been "work with what you have, and the shoot turned out incredible!

This was an amazing photoshoot! And one of the quickest I've ever seen. Less than 45 minutes for the whole shoot. Originally we were trying to go for a "Breakfast at Tiffany's" concept and I had an idea for a hotel lobby as a backdrop. And I found a GREAT location. Unfortuntely, hotel management didn't agree with me about how great of a shoot this would be...Something about corporate espionage...I was not happy.

What an absolutely crazy shoot! It had everything! Stalkers! Police! Motorcycles! Seriously! We were going for an urban setting in this shoot and I figured Paterson would be the best place to go, since there is a very nice factory section called Bunker Hill there.

Natalie

This was fun. A lot of fun...too much fun! Such an amazing young lady. The concept we agreed to was a forest shoot. Very mellow, the last woman on earth kinda vibe. I think we did a good job. Besides the model and myself, we were accompanied by her brother (a videographer himself) and my assistant/wife (Greatest assistant ever!).

This was a very interesting shoot. This was a Maternity shoot commissioned by Sandy's sister that needed to be done prior to her surprise Baby Shower. We arranged to shoot at her house, which turned out to be awesome, because when we got there she just finished preparing dinner...And what a dinner it was!  After being filled to capacity, it was finally time to get to work.
