Just finished with a new video of my product photography for all to view.  Check it out.

Just received the final shots of some food photography we had shot at the end of December.    Jim Bacha - art director from Stevens - Baron Communications did a great job of taking my studio work from two different products we had shot and making them into very large colorful displays.

We been having some interesting food shoots lately and here are a few samples.

We started out shooting a few cool shots for some promotional ads and posters for Don’s Pomeroy House Restaurant in Strongsville, Ohio.

The burger shot turned out to be an incredible photo after the advertising agency

took the shot to the next level and developed a great ad.

The other job we just finished was the catalog for the King Nut/ Peterson 2008 holiday season. These shots are just the raw shots and I’ll update some of the finished work when the graphic designer puts her specialty work on them.

I had the opportunity to shoot with a local production company recently.
They were shooting video B roll for a commercial. The idea was to use
available talent and show people enjoying the outdoor patio of a near by
restaurant. We had to start shooting after closing time so it was a late
night. Lot of fun and some great shots. If it looks like everyone was enjoying
themselves it’s because they were.

The shots that I did will be used for print or website collateral. Much higher resolution then anything you could pull from the video.

Starting out the week attending the Marie Piscopo workshop (www.mpiscopo.com) put on by Tri-C and www.asmp-onc our local ASMP professional photography group. Interesting and enlightening. Jumped in to shooting some senior portraits both
on location and in the studio. Always fun.



Studio shots are even more challenging in that I have to come up with interesting angles and niches to pull out the best photos.

I received a copy of the new menu Rick Shaffer (www.shafferdesign.com ) and I had worked on in New York city. The piece turned out fantastic.

Towards the middle of the week we did some good old fashion Industrial Photography with sparks and all. Cleveland is still
loaded with plenty of manufacturing businesses that need quality photography.

This time of year I’m off as often as possible to follow another shooting love. Bird hunting.



I went back to New York State for
some pheasant, grouse and duck hunting for a long four day hunt.
We were very successfull starting out with 75 degree days
and turning into some of the worst rain storms I’ve seen this early in the season.

The last day the winds changed around and we had our limit of ducks in record time. Great Hunt.

The whole time I was out playing I had Jim Baron and Amy Weiser covering the Battle of the Corporate Bands at a place
I’ve shot endless photos from days gone pass. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They did an excellent job of covering
the event.
