Photo of the Day - Dafne

Here is another one of my favorites from the archive. It is a photo of my friend Dafne taken a while back. I think she looks like Angelina Jolie.

The shot is very simple. Taken on a Canon Rebel with a 50mm lens. ISO 100 F10 1/80 with an external flash slightly above the camera.... Plus hot model.


Thanks

Balloons and Shadows by Michael Creagh

Here are some more shots from the Susana Monaco Catalog for Spring 2010. The theme was shadows and we utilized an old friend; balloons. The entire collection should be on Susana Monaco's website in the next few days (http://susanamonaco.com).

The photo was taken in my studio in Manhattan with my Hasselblad H3D 39 Megapixel camera with an 80mm lens. The settings were ISO 50 at F9 1/250sec. Lighting was Profoto.

Photography.Book.Now San Francisco Event – Michael Creagh

What a hectic week. I headed out West to attend Blurb's San Francisco Photography.Book.Now meet-up. This was a followup to the awards ceremony in New York 2 weeks ago. Here is a link to my post on that event: http://michaelcreagh.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/photography-book-now-awards-new-york-2009-michael-creagh/

West


I only managed to be in San Francisco just under 24 hours, but it was well worth the trip. I only had an hour to walk around and take some photos. I focused on what was decidedly not New York.

The event was great. It was held at the Contemporary Jewish Museum (http://www.thecjm.org/). It is an absolutely beautiful building and a great venue for an event.

The event was once again packed with book and photography lovers pouring through all the winning books. I met some very cool people. I always find it odd but fun, to see someone looking through my book. And with books everywhere, you can't miss seeing some people spend an hour looking at your photos, and then another spending about 10 seconds! If you missed this event, there are still 2 morein Chicago and London. I am too busy to make it out to them, but judging by the last 2 events, they will be great.
