Buzz on The Street

I’ve first had the pleasure of collaborating with Jennefer Witter to photograph top real estate agent Jacky Teplitzy for a Mann Report cover shoot.  Jacky had a broken leg in a cast, confined to a wheelchair in a lot of pain. Jennefer & I came up with a gorgeous gameplan to photograph Jacky in a swanky evening gown at the tony Pierre Hotel and our beautiful cover became the talk of the town.

Now, Jennefer is the star of the show, her boutique PR firm, The Boreland Group is featured in The Street running with one of my photos.

Jennefer had a meeting with her client, the talented architect Scott Spector of the Spector Group.  Incredible daylight streaming into the office illuminated the stylish conference room.  Even though I got my shot in minutes, I had to take advantage of the space begging Jennefer to indulge me with few more minutes, a few more shots.  It was worth it.

Times Where?

Photographed M&T Bank’s brand new Signature Branch in Brooklyn and my image glowed upon the great white way.  Click my fresh work section to view photos of the new branch, in addition to the old vault photos which was a trip being in.  The downstairs of the original bank had been flooded and in disrepair as they were building the new branch. The safe deposit boxes looked like they could tell hundreds of personal stories in contrast to the shiny new ones next door.

Doc Ock

Just like Spiderman’s most persistent and dangerous foe, Doc Ock; Dr. David Samadi is utilizing powerful, mechanical appendages to operate.  He is cancer’s nemesis, a supervillan destroying it with every movement of his hand.  Dr. David Samadi, robotic prostatectomy expert and Fox News Medical A-Team contributor invited me into the operating room (was jonesing to get in there when I got the assignment) at Mount Sinai to capture his SMART (Samadi Modified Advanced Robotic Technique) Surgery Robot.  Truly awe-inspiring.  I wanted to use the existing lights, having the robot “glow” only adding a fill light for the handsome doctor.  Think Spidey would approve.

Soho

Although Kristin & I started out shooting inside the studio for our Mann Report cover, the art-filled streets and beautiful buildings were calling out to be a backdrop.  Kristin is a classic woman and the classic architectural columns lent themselves to her vibe, along with the beautiful natural light.

Last minute

My family…  always decides last second to want photos.  It’s Friday, 4:30 pm; adrenaline starts pumping, no assistants so I’m rolling old school  jillie-style;  like when I had a business card from Forbes that read “photojournalist” under my name.   Don’t know who was in worse shape.  Me, (a scary, sweaty sight; post-Zumba class &  late-night in Tribeca) or Marc, recovering from big night out on the town starting at the Surface Magazine party.  Oh, and did I mention we were both going to the Gen Art Fresh Faces Fashion Show at 7 pm?  I was going to need an hour to beautify.  We ran over to stunning ddc – Domus Design Collection on Madison Avenue and managed to rock out 4 different shots to run in 944.  In a perfect world, I would have brought all my lighting, reflectors… my firepower. Under the gun, only what I could carry along with my creative juices flowing.

Of course, wherever we set up in the showroom would draw attention to the shoppers so we’d get 10 shots off and then we’d have to move out of the way in order for them to test out the tony furniture. ($$$$)!

Needless to say, we laughed a lot: “Say Tequila!”, “Say Vodka”! before rushing out to make it to the big show.  xoxoxo
