The Suburbs

Here’s the beginning of a new landscape project.  I think it might be interesting to put each photo up as an individual post, instead of as a group.  Here’s the first one…

Old Nightscape

Here’s a picture from August 2009.  It was taken while I was in North Carolina with my family.  I had just bought a new digital back, and wanted to put it through it’s paces.  As I was setting up the shot, I kept hearing rustling in the woods, so I’d shine my flashlight in the general direction of the noise and it would stop.  After a few minutes of this dance, and a few different exposures to composite(it’s amazing how dark the sky is without city lights) I thought it best to get back in the car…

Things are gonna be a changing

I have some new plans for my website, and although it will take a few months for all the changes to take place, be ready…  it’s going to be fun.  I’ve been busy this summer with work for clients as well as a couple of personal projects, so a lot can and might happen!

Daniel Albehni finals

Here are the final images from the DA shoot on April 2…  The ads will be appearing in Harper’s Bazaar China, and as store displays.  If you are in Shanghai, or somewhere else they are displayed, take some photos for me, and I’ll send you a present!

NYC Condo Behind the scenes

Here’s a photo of me at work…  shot by my assistant Naomi McCulloch.  I guess she only had time to take one photo before she was needed!  This was the first job I shot with my shiny new Alpa Max camera…  I love it, and can’t wait for the kapture group sliding back to come out in the next few months(so I was told!)…  After trying the cambo wide cameras, I love going back to looking at a groundglass, no matter how small it is, instead of staring at the computer screen to compose shots(ignore the fact that I’m staring at the computer in this photo!).  I’ve even recently shot half of a fashion job with the Alpa - the other shots were with my H…  It’s awesome - like I’m shooting with the best combinations of digital and large format.  I get all the adjustability and the intention of lf, and the image pops up on my screen right after taking the shot!

Daniel Albehni Behind the Scenes

Behind the scenes photos from a April 2 shoot for Daniel Albehni, a handbag designer primarly in the Chinese market.  It was a great day, and I’ll share the finals as soon as I can!  All photos shot by Taka(as far as I know)…

Maybe if I show photos of my Alpa in use, they will send me something?  Hopefully better than a hat or a lanyard!
