Playing with the Light

2010-03-07T14:16:00.000-05:00

Today we were shooting and before the model arrived we were playing with the light, so Hilary Warner, the makeup artist we were working with on the shoot, stood in as a test subject. The light set up was simple, two strip light banks on each side of Hilary pointed at each other. Notice the "cat-eye" catch lights in her eyes. The second shot, Hilary got a phone call from the model and I captured her in "business mode".

Boston Morning Commute

2010-02-03T10:20:00.000-05:00

I was on the T (subway) in Boston on my way to Cambridge this morning and as I was sitting at the Charles/MGH stop on the red line. I glanced out the window and saw this strange looking skyline of Boston. It has been snowing this morning and there are heavy clouds up above but a touch of sun at the bottom of the clouds made this scene very surreal looking. I only had my iPhone camera to capture the shot so I got off the T at the MIT/Kendall station and walked over to the Longfellow Bridge, captured the skyline, and continued along my way.
