The Khan

 While on assignment in Cairo I had the opportunity to visit the Khan, the oldest and perhaps the largest marketplace in the world. Some say that it may be more appropriate to call it “The Con”. The street vendors know just a few words in multiple languages: “How may I take your money today?”. Quite an experience I will not soon forget!

More of the details of this exciting shoot soon.

“For the love of music”

This is another ad in a series for Epiphone guitars. The small headline reads “for the love of music”. We tested many sizes and shapes of guitars to achieve and pull off this simple concept in a elegant photograph. Careful selection of a hand model was also a critical component.

Again, this is a studio set! Much more control in the studio. All accomplished in the camera (no photoshop). The Background is a rental. A couple thousand pounds of sand and the lighting to feel like the great outdoors. Since I started shooting, in Los Angeles (many years ago), I have always had the opportunity to create sets for clients. It’s great to pull a crew together and make realistic images that would be difficult to pull off outdoors.

This week, I have Ian Pollard, a Waldorf High School student, working with me for his Senior Work Experience. He also is an accomplished track athlete. Here is a portrait I did of Ian, with his track shoes & hoodie. I was teaching him about swings & tilts with large format photography and how you can control the plane of focus to help achieve the above selective focus effect. This was shot with a Hasselblad Flexbody with a digital back attached.
