In keeping with my Pittsburgh Chef / Restaurant photography theme, I thought I’d share with you a video I did for Light Of Life Mission. The interview was conducted to give the mission ammunition for its social media campaign, to be used on their blog, facebook, twitter, and the like. We ended up getting four…
Here is a portrait of Pittsburgh Chef Kevin Sousa of “Salt of The Earth Restaurant”.
Here’s another portrait of one of Pittsburgh Great Chefs, Justin Severino of the Cure Restaurant.
Here’s another chef shot. I’m finding that these chefs are all really great guys and this one is no exception. The Hyeholde Restaurant is actually an historic Landmark, built the the 1930s, and a very beautiful place. My goal in shooting all these chefs is to include their environment, as much as graphically possible. I’m…
I’ve started a new personal project that I hope Pittsburgh Magazine will pick up later in the year. The idea is to capture the “Chefs of Pittsburgh”. I know it’s nothing profound, but neither am I… :o) Here’s the first shot in the series…
Here are some recent photos I shot for a very good cause and some really great people, the Light Of Life Rescue Mission.
Here’s a fun shot we did for a Pittsburgh client, Write automotive. I just couldn’t help myself from doing a little “post production” to enhance the photo, but nothing too crazy. And for payment, I tried to trade my services for the yellow car, but the client, for some strange reason, wouldn’t go for in…
Had a great shoot these last couple of days shooting industrial photography, not in Pittsburgh, but in Charleston, WV.. More sample to come when I get a chance to edit through the images…
The new techniques that I’ve been playing with are really great with most commercial photography situations. Here are to industrial – type commercial photos from the same shoot, that I’ve applied the techniques to,with good result.
I’ve been reworking some past executive portraits with a new post-production technique that pulls out detail otherwise lost. I’m really seeing how this makes a huge difference in the overall feel of the photos.
For some reason, I really love shooting healthcare photography. I think it’s because these seems to be an underling need for photographic drama… And it’s pretty easy to get dramatic shots in an operating room, but the tough shots are when you need to represent less dramatic situations. I’m converted these shots to black and…
These Environmental Portraits were from a recent location job we did in Florida. We were photographing several people related to the local arts community. See if you can guess what each of these people do…
I’ve always had this thing for doing environmental portrait photography, ever since I started my business long ago, here in Pittsburgh. I think I’m getting better and better, and to grow, I know I must keep on growing and evolving into new styles. I’ve been experimenting a lot lately and I’ve come upon a technique…
More Pittsburgh Environmental Portrait samples… I might be overdoing the stylization, but life is an experiment, they say…
I just love my job in commercial photography. I get to meet all kinds of great people, visit really cool places, and just have a good-old time in general… :o) Here’s a shot from a recent shoot that I really really like.
I have some new industrial photography that I’ve use in conjunction with my new post techniques. I think the key to doing this properly is to don’t go overboard and do too much of it… The technique definitely makes the images POP!
Here’s another portrait from a recent job. I really like capturing the essence of a person and I find that’s most easily done with a serious expression. Of course not all assignments, especially commercial photography assignments, want a serious expression, but in my opinion, that’s the expression that lets you in to see the soul…
I’ve been getting a little board and thought I’d play around a little, in the world of editorial photography. This is an image from a recent shoot and I really like the post production treatment. Editorial portrait photography is mostly about the photographer’s interaction with the subject, but it seams that the post-production of the…
