CASTING FOR CORPORATE TESTIMONIAL VIDEO (MALE 35-55)

I was able to get my hands on this fabulous timepiece. There were a few challenges photographing such a highly reflective surface. Shooting through the anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal without the hue shifting proved quite challenging, but a little bit of savvy and hard work payed off!

I thought it was "time" to do some product photography, as most of my work has been comprised mainly of people. I love the intricacies of the movement as viewed through the sapphire caseback.

My sister submitted to AMEX Epic Everyday Getaway photo contest a picture of my nephew that I captured on his birthday. My photo was 1 of 47 chosen from 7000 submitted.

Each winner and a guest will get their own “Very Important Person” treatment when they head to NYC June 18-21, 2014 for a three-day experience that includes:

Rock of Ages Broadway show with cast meet & greet
VIP concert experience with Maroon 5 (live streamed nationally)
Makeovers: red carpet looks for the evening from Rent the Runway, hair blowouts from DryBar
SoulCycle Indoor Cycling Class inside iconic Grand Central Terminal
Three-night stay at the InterContinental New York Times Square hotel, located in the heart of the world-famous Broadway Theater district
Airfare and ground transportation

American Express announced the winners of the Epic Everyday Getaway contest. More than 7,000 Americans submitted snapshots and selfies along with a short story describing their favorite . Photo submissions captured Americans’ favorite VIPs (their kids, loved ones and friends) in fun, silly, memorable and inspirational everyday moments.

For my fellow photographers out there, as we all know Photoshop has a plethora of tools available to us. At times this can be daunting especially when you have your workflow down to your particular tastes. I came across this blog that covers Photoshop blend modes. I hope this helps in your visual journey.

I was up late one night, not sleepy, not tired; decided to go downtown and create a few images. I started around midnight and wrapped up at about 1:30 a.m.

My Lil’ nephew Evan at 6 ½ months. The kid was born with a full head of hair, I can attest to that being there on day two. Now seven months later the curls are flowing and bouncing with every move.

Fabulous Forties

It’s a rare treat to see someone over forty who can still go in front of a camera and hold their own with the teens and people in their early 20’s. For the sake of full disclosure and the title of “Fabulous Forties” you’re probably wondering, how old is she? Well, Carrie is 46!!
