Alison Burnet - New Hot Shoot!

I had a shoot with hot model Alison Burnett today.  It is hard to believe that is like the fourth time we worked together, but only the second time I got to decide what to create.  You can see the gorgeous results from the first one here.  Alison is one of my favorite muses.  She is just naturally very sensual.  You will see texture in the skin, moles, spots on the floor, and little "mistakes"  because I didn't retouch a thing.  I thought it was great to see her real beauty.

You can hire Alison through Basic Models in New York.  Makeup and Hair by Oz Rodriguez.  All photos today were taken on Canon 5D Mark II with mostly an 85mm 1.2 lens and the full length with a 24-70mm 2.8 lens.  The exposures and lighting varied a lot.  Studio shots were taken with Broncolor.


Thanks!

BioLife Plasma Services Campaign

I am really excited to post my new pharmaceutical Ad Campaign with BioLife Plasma Services. It was a real pleasure to shoot.  Celina, who has primary immunodeficiency, was just fantastic in front of the camera.  And that painting in the photo is really hers!!!





Special thanks to Maggie Traidman, Pivot Design, Inc, whose direction and spirit was essential. 

Here is a link to some of my other advertising campaigns.


Thanks!

First shot from Behind the scenes of Melanie Iglesias Part 2!

Here is the first photo of Melanie Iglesias behind the scenes on the Flip Book Part 2 (#FlipBookPart2). She is absolutely adorable. Zero retouching. You can see I took a camera phone shot of the back of my camera. The photo is her in the makeup mirror with some of my studio in the background....as well as my arm.

She also tweeted a shot from this scene taken like 2 seconds after this. So make sure you check out her twitter: http://twitter.com/MelanieIglesias and for lots of hot photos try her Facebook Fan Page.

For you crazy photo nerds like myself. I shot this on my Canon 1Ds MarkIII with a 24-70mm lens. You can see the exposure listed on the back of the camera 1/160 at F3.2. I think I was zoomed in at 70mm and had ISO 1600.

Here is a link to the first Melanie Iglesias Flip Book video!
