Cleveland Photographer Blog

Just finished with some new on location shots of lighting products in the greater Cleveland Ohio area.  Testing of products and products in use.  Pretty cool.

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.

We were given the opportunity to photograph an honored employee of one of Cleveland’s many major corporations. He turned out to be quite photographic and a willing subject.
We had some tight spots but I believe the work speaks for itself.

Back in the studio. This time shooting test equipment of the automotive industry. Another cool product produced in Cleveland. It never seizes to amaze me the number of different products and services that are based in our home town.
It wasn’t easy taming these cords but with some magic wax and some fishing line we ended up with some pretty cool shots.

It’s that time of year again and we just finished shooting the DMSA Awards Ceremony.
The Distinguished Marketing & Sales Awards where held at the Renaissance Hotel by Sales and Marketing Executives of Cleveland. Always a great networking event with the award winners and their entourage. This years Business executive of the year was Sandy Cutler of Eaton. “Sandy” and SME event chair Bob Dracon handed out awards to numerous winners including: Adam Chafe or Sherwin-Williams, Mike Malley of Crains Cleveland, John Martin of Colortone staging, and Stuart Weitzman of the Cleveland Clinic.

We start out shooting the cocktail hour and then we have our lights set up in a separate room for the big group shot. After dinner it’s time to hand out those glass
awards.

It was nice to have the creative director and the products show up at the studio when the snow and cold was hitting Cleveland. Nothing better this time of year to work out of our studio on the west bank of Cleveland’s “flats”. The side that actually has some activity on it. We were coming up with some interesting angles of a new line of lighting fixtures for a local client - lighted and unlighted. We naturally cranked out quite a few shots that day.

Jeff Slater from www.fridgeartcreative.com/ and I solved the client’s visual needs some cool angles and forced perspective shots.

We just finished shooting in a vault of all things some new interiors for Key Bank. Not the best place for phone reception but very quiet. Branding is a hot keyword these
days and it’s as important to banking as it ever has been. The new interior and exterior looks made a big splash to this banks new look.
