Coachella, Lomo style.
Some snaps taken with my Diana+ camera. I love the contrast from the Fuji Pro 400 film. Already can’t wait for next year.
From afternoon to evening in the desert garden.
Recently I visited Palm Springs, and stayed in a pretty sweet house. Coming from the cooler Boston air, and following the gloomy winter, the back garden with pool provided a comfortable bubble for a day. The sun was hot, really hot, but the temperature in the shade was perfect. The most beautiful light I’ve ever seen is the sunset in the desert, second only to the moonlight I’ve hopefully captured in this post glancing off the palm trees.
Jess portrait.
Here are some other images I shot with Jess, still with a similar lighting setup as the artist shot.
The artist becomes the subject.
This picture was initially inspired by the ‘artist and model’ series by Miles Aldrige, in which he photographs his wife Kristen McMenamy in an artist’s studio, in a collaboration with the artist Chantal Joffe. My friend Jess is a talented sculptor and we thought it would be interesting to turn her into the subject, posed with her medium. I used some gels for added color effect. The next step will be to do this on location in Jess’ studio, to complete the overall concept.
The day after Nemo.
Gone are the cars on Mass Ave, replaced by kids laughing, people building snow sculptures, couples skiing, runners jogging by and everyone generally having a good time. Except perhaps the workers whose job it is to clear the snow away and get the city moving again. This won’t happen too many times in my lifetime; glad I managed to snap these pics.
Eksi Ekso – Archfiend Promo CDs are here.
Recently I designed the artwork for Eksi Ekso’s forthcoming album, ARCHFIEND. Today, even with the snow, the promo CDs arrived. I’m really happy with how these came out. The next step is to design the vinyl. The album drops 05/07/13.
Anat Cohen – Claroscuro
Recently I designed the artwork for Claroscuro, the latest record by the wonderful Anat Cohen. It is currently the number one jazz album on iTunes – very well-deserved. I had the privilege to hear her play at Regatta Bar in Harvard Square. She is amazing. Here’s a great article on NPR. Well done Anat.
