Medical Portraits on location

Just finished a new piece for the internet of some of my medical photography.  Whether shooting prototypes in the studio of new and inventive

Cleveland, Ohio products or in the operating room at one of many of Cleveland’s award winning hospitals Stata Productions has you covered.

Healthcare photography

I just found the time to post a job we did on the runway when the leaves where on the trees and the weather was warmer… late fall but a beautiful day.  We were working with professional models from www.thetalentgroup.com.

We had a lot of shooting to do and the light was coming and going with the incoming clouds.  We ended up with some great images. Organization and direction was from another great talent  - Liz Fisher  http://www.lizfisherdesign.com. 

One of my favorite photography productions is photographing people… and professional models can give you any look your after.

Conference

We had the opportunity to photo an attorney’s office in downtown Cleveland Ohio.  The  job was to depict the people that work there and the environment all in several shots for their website and brochure materials.  We had lots of help with their employees standing in for models.  I believe it worked out great.

In this case we had a pre- production tour of the facilities so we could organize a game plan….

we were able to get quite a few shots done in a single shooting day.

In the past we’ve gone in and shot headshots for websites but I believe this show a lot more then the typical portraits.

Corner Law office Cleveland Ohio

We were commissioned to shoot some controversal photography for a current magazine in the Cleveland - Akron area last month.  The article was just published and here are a few samples of my work. 

I had done some testing before this shoot.  Coming up with some very grainy shots…. which you may have seen

on my facebook page…. I think it was a little to much and the final shots the artist used worked out well.

We had a lot of fun and got some great shots of some exciting people at a recent United Way campaign shoot.  We set up a studio on location and just kept the people coming thru.

We photographed all ages and everyone brought their A game.

We - Dave Szalay http://www.szalaydesign.com/ and I just finished working up a great holiday card for a client in Cleveland Ohio. 

Our client had a very strange looking (but cool) looking hairless cat. 

His idea was to get a background and drop himself and his fiancee into the scene with the cat (cats) pulling the sled.  So I found a winter scene in Medina Ohio and pulled the rest of the photography off in the studio.  Dave put everthing together and we had the cards printed.  Everyone was happy.

I know we’re covered up with snow in northern Ohio but believe the leaves fell we shot one more shoot at a private school on the east side of Cleveland Ohio.  Always a pleasure and the ladies did a great job pretending I wasn’t there.

We picked a day where the weather and conditions were perfect. 

We’ve been busy in  Cleveland, Indy and Michigan shooting promotional images and Virtual Tours for several area health care providers.  The people that work in these service areas have been great. We are often hired directly but sometimes we have the added bonus of an Advertising agencies insight. Which helps with the flow of the shoot.  The industry seems to be growing and there has been a great deal  of opportunity to make these locations shine.

One of my favorite subjects to photograph are people.  People on the job, lifestyle, in the studio, or at their higher educational institutes.   We recently had the opportunity to shoot at a trade school located outside greater Cleveland, Ohio.  These kids and adults are working towards learning a trade to improve themselves and net worth.

On a lighter side (no pun intended) we did some promotional, web and collateral work for a private school just after the kids went on summer vacation.  We asked some of the students to come in and pose for a few shots.  Although the weather was hot the kids hung in there and we were able to pull off some great shots.

We just finished shooting a whirlwind fashion line for Julie Ganim clothing. Julie and her crew of co-walker, clients, and family helped to organize an incredible number of outfits and looks at Stata Productions studio. http://www.juliegcollection.com/




We ended up shooting over forty different outfits thought out the studio area, hallway and various seamless backgrounds. The models were great and Julie’s group was well organized and we accomplished a great number of shots in one day.


At the end of the day we shot the whole line over for fabric swatches. The colors and patterns really jumped. Beautiful arrangements of material, buttons, and zippers.
