I get a call and am asked by the client, "I have a product, what can you do for me"? Say that you have a bottle that needs to be photographed. It needs to be shot mostly for use on a website - to help "sell" the product. I’d like to keep the background clean so that the customers stay focused on your product, its a really beautiful product after all! So many things coursing through my mind; perspective, lighting, Read More

Color can have SUCH an impact!
Who knew how important color choice can be to the impact of a job? Well, of course Nick knew! That's what he does and does best. High impact.

The amount of detail that Read More
Set Building
Last week I was busy doing some minor set building. We have been prepping to shoot some test shots with some new food stylists. We are going to be creating some beautiful new editorial food images to compliment our portfolio and our food packaging shots. We have a large quantity of props but not as many surfaces as we would like so it was time to use those artistic muscles in a slightly different way than when I look Read More
