In the News - Allie Crandell

I was reading the Huffington Post and came across this article on MTV's Allie Crandell. It said Revolve Clothing had removed her from their website over online customers' concerns she was too skinny (photos in the link to Huffington Post below). Now, I photographed Allie a couple of years ago for the cover of National Jeweler's Magazine (also below). I am a big fan of Allie's. She was awesome on set and just a very cool young women. I haven't seen for a couple years, and I remember her being on the skinny side, but full of energy and eating heartily on set. Part of the difficulty I think, which NO ONE TALKS ABOUT, is with models that are not really really tall, they try to stay a touch skinnier so they look taller in photos. Allie is tall, but not for a model.

Heartloom SS 2011 Preview

Here is part one of a new story I am really excited about as it is a little different look for me. Shot on location with a 70's style. Very cool models; Ania Kedzior from Q and Brittany Hollis from Trump. I will try to post part two this week. I am still editing through it.











Shot with a Canon 5D Mark II with mostly an 85mm 1.2 lens. Too many lighting setups to mention here, though most have a strong component of natural light. Special thanks to my assistant, Spencer Kohn, for all his help on the shoot.

Here are 2 links to the last shoot with Heartloom for Spring Summer 2010 with Daniela Mirzac from Marilyn and Britni Stanwood from MC2..

Fashion Queen Magazine

I am excited that I just received a copy of editorial I photographed for Fashion Queen Magazine from Hong Kong and Taiwan. The magazine is oversized and has a great glossy feel that really shows the details of the Hasselblad H3D and its 39 Megapixels. This is my second editorial in a Hong Kong Magazine in the last year. The first was a vivid color story in Kee Magazine.






Photographed at my studio in Manhattan with Hasselblad H3D-39 with 150mm lens and Profoto Lights.

Interview on What About Us

Here is an interview I just did with the website What About US. I think it is a little different that some of my previous interviews. The site is very cool. In both French and English, it interviews artists they find interesting.

Here is the direct link, plus the article in English and French below (Click to make it bigger to read).

PDN - Photo District News Photo of the Day

I have the photo of the day on Photo District News Today. Kissing couples is part of a collaborative I took with my photographer friend, Rinze Van Brug. Published in Metropop Magazine, we shot it on location in the West Village in New York. This image was taken with available light and a tripod. You can see the rest of the series in an earlier blog post.


Photo District News is one of my favorite photography magazine, so it was cool for them to choose one of my images.

Thanks!

Emily Bergl - NY Daily News Today

Many of you know I just photographed Emily twice in the last week. First, was for the below feature in the NY Daily News, http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/2010/08/28/2010-08-28_emily_bergl_brings_her_sunny_disposition_to_new_role_on_desperate_housewives.html


We also shot 2 days later to promote her cabaret show currently playing at the Metropolitan Room in New York, Kidding on the Square. And we did shots for the promotion if her new stint on "Desperate Housewives". So a lot of new photos coming up. Here are the shots we did for the New york Daily News.







The photos were taken with my 5D Mark II. The first shots were taken with my 85mm 1.2 lens. I am not sure the f-stop on each but probably betw F2 and 5.6 on different shots. The last 2 were taken with the 24-70mm lens.

Photo of the Day - Carly

Here is an old shot of mine that I always liked. It is model shot I did years ago for a beautiful model, Carly. It was taken in Brooklyn.


The shot is so old, I guess I shot it on an old Canon Rebel. The file info says ISO 100, 1/100sec at F5.6. I used on an external flash directly on the camera.


Thanks!
