Jezebels Encore With A Sepia Twist.

Jezebels Encore is comprised of Jared Funari and Jamel King and is a new project for both musicians. Im not typically one for much photoshop beyond standard retouching, but since Jared and Jamel Give me a good amount of creative latitude I had a little fun with this image.

As the summer comes to a close I find myself in a place I have been so many times in the past, racing to keep up with the sunlight. Putting together an image for Jared Funari’s upcoming EP release there were a few crazy ideas rolling around in my head so why not put them into an image. Randomly driving around upstate New York brought me to the Hewitt Farm, and the land owner graciously allowed me to take photographs on his property. There was a good cornfield facing east and made for exactly the positioning I wanted.

After spending a little time on the phone with the land owners of another location I have been dying to shoot, relief washes over me at their willingness to allow myself, make-up artist Genn Shaughnessy and a model or two do a set in their highly unique **** ****.

Aside from creating silly images, the path of my future and what to do tomorrow rolls around in my head constantly. Calls to a handful of magazines are necessary, magazines I was referred to by a new acquaintance that is a Pulitzer Prize winning author.

Who would have thought my name would end up on Forbes.com? What the hell is going on here? It is just another copy of the Thirteen Yards To Victory press release, but still… this is crazy, its Forbes.

Till tomorrow, Goodnight.

Lighting Sneak Peek…

A general overview of the setup used to photograph Aubrey Dee. One of the final images can be found here. I cannot express enough how good she is, and how fun it is to work with her. Image taken at Sacandaga Lake.
