My long time friend Doug heads up the progressive rock band She Never Sleeps. It was fun to capture their music and spirit at the Duffy's Tavern gig. Catch them at the next concert and enjoy the opus!

knoll holiday portraits
Knoll hosted a semi-private holiday portrait session. It is like a candy store for designers, you bring your loved ones and get photographed in iconic knoll pieces. Anita my portraitist wife who is addicted to capturing the best of her subjects had a blast directing and capturing the various groupings, there were a few pets that behaved better than some kids - just sayin' ;)
Some behind the scenes here - I rigged up an Octabank for wrap around lighting and hooked up an iPad mini with HDMI connection to a TV for a manual photo booth feedback for the sitters, a giant selfie screen of sort. It worked but became a distraction for kids as they kept looking at the TV. Now perhaps someday we can have floating screens that hover above our heads at the camera position, now that would be cool!
boy wonder
in portraits
When you catch boys at the perfect age they are innocent, adorable, approachable, confident and make great portraiture subjects. This time round, my excellent portraitist wife Anita got to have fun capturing the spirit of the boy wonder.

Camera-shy children are drawn by curiosity for the big glowing soft surfaces and temporarily cooperate in some portraits otherwise hard to catch at certain ages. The freshly awaken baby girl was startled by the flash strobe and I switched to using the modelling lamp only. Love the soft light quality and the porcelain-perfect glowing skin and perfect eyes.
