Grooming for Adidas NCAA Uniform ads

Three final images from a shoot advertising Adidas college basketball uniforms – these guys were so much fun to work with! I spent a lot of time spraying “sweat” on the models (who, despite jumping around all day, were entirely too cold to break a sweat, especially in an unheated warehouse in February!) All photos [...]

15 things I learned at my first New York Fashion Week

Pack as many makeup wipes as you think you’ll need… then triple that. Cotton swabs, too. Comfortable. Shoes. I will only say this once. Release the model from your chair for a “quick fitting” at your peril. Get a real ETA and then memorize her face so you can find her again. (Get her name, [...]

Lifestyle shoot – horseback on the beach

Some shoots really are a day at the beach! In this case, Crane Beach, one of the most beautiful oceanside stretches of sand I have seen (at least in New England). Quiet, serene, and we shot until sundown. And if that weren’t enough, this shoot had HORSES! My job was to groom the two girls [...]
