Catherine Portrait

Nothing spectacular from the photography end here- just two lights and a dark background. The model is what made this photo work.

I've become a big fan of this simple technique when used with the right photograph:

Maxim's Eva Amurri Lingerie Shoot: Seriously?

Maxim gets a woman like Eva Amurri in some sexy lingerie and, apparently, chooses the local Comfort Inn to use as a studio. Come on, now. The photography budget at Maxim must be tighter than Ms. Amurri's body these days.

For those who don't know, Eva is the daughter of Susan Sarandon (my college graduation speaker- ha!) and an actress.

Comfort Inn Couture

In my fraternity house, we would call this a 'scronk couch.'

Fun with Photoshop

I developed this fake cologne advertisement with two friends of mine over almost two years ago. It was a completely spontaneous shoot, otherwise I would have removed the lamp and frame in the background. The model's choice of polka dot panties and the fact that they appeared in the photograph was fortuitous. To further illustrate what a great job these guys did while just having fun in front of some pro equipment, they weren't even dating- and never have. And probably never will.

Charlie

Today I spent the day with Charlie, who is a very mellow rottweiler mix. After some effort, we did get Charlie to cooperate for the camera for a while. She even fell asleep during the shoot.
