Janet in the Studio (Unexpectedly)

After a hard half a day shooting casting photos of 50-60 year old men in workout clothes at a nice NY studio, I was allowed to use the space for myself by the gracious and glamorous Karen of Difficult Egg Productions. I invited my friend Janet to come downtown. Not fully aware of what she was signing up for, she still kindly agreed to model for me. Here's a few of my favorites:

Brad

My friend Brad was kind enough to trek down from the Bronx to assist on a portfolio shoot with a model. When the model canceled through a proxy (who didn't even tell me until I asked him about her) an hour before the shoot, it was too late to send him home. Improvisation took over and I shot a couple of Brad. These are the less racy images.

The Conveniences of Modern Living

I had the pleasure of shooting Daniel John Kelley's hysterical black comedy, "The Conveniences of Modern Living," at his run-through. Here are some stills from it:

The New Great Depression

Last year, I had the pleasure of meeting and collaborating with Kewhan, a male model, and Levon, a fashion stylist. He was eager to do an editorial fashion shoot, and get some images for his comp card. The idea behind the shoot was the New Great Depression, updated for modern times. I was very pleased to hear the entire card is images I shot with him that day. Here are some of my favorites:

Manchester Pub: Behind the Scenes

The good people at Manchester Pub allowed me into the kitchen, where the magic occurs. These are some behind the scenes shots.

Manchester Pub

Back in December, two friends of mine from high school (who had become unlikely business partners) asked me to shoot the delicious food at the bar they co-owned, the Manchester Pub. A third friend is the chef and designed the menu. Spinning off classic bar food, the meals at Manchester Pub are anything but commonplace. From the grilled chicken sandwich with pear and balsamic vinegar to the sweet potato fries with maple syrup to the more adventurous bacon with chocolate fondue, there are original items to please the palate. Coupled with the ever-changing craft beer menu and a great laid back atmosphere, Manchester Pub is the place to be.
