You can see more images from the Gelato shoot on the Edible Manhattan Magazine site here in their "goodies" section - where stories that generated more photos than they could publish due to limited space in the magazine get a second chance at seeing the light of day.

Mimi Sheraton - Edible Manhattan

2009-05-07T18:49:00.008-04:00

In the April/May 2009 issue of Edible Manhattan, I shot two stories - one is of the pastry chef at Otto in the West Village - see previous post - and the second story was a profile of chef/author Mimi Sheraton.
Here are some images from that shoot.

Spring trying to make an appearance

2009-04-17T15:50:00.002-04:00

Took a walk this afternoon and everywhere I looked, there were buds sprouting and trying to shake the winter chill off.
It made me feel hopeful, excited, and very, very grateful for all the wonderful cycles of rebirth that we experience...even on very, very, small scales like these little buds.
Here's to spring!

Another Edible Manhattan Shoot

2009-04-01T12:43:00.003-04:00

I've been really fortunate lately to be hired a few times by Edible Magazine to shoot for their "Fridge" section - which is essentially a section in their magazine digging into the fridges and kitchens of notable New Yorkers. I get to take portraits of the subjects and shoot some still life images of their kitchen, and the food they pull out of their fridges and pantries. I get set up - usually with the help of an assistant - it helps to move quickly when you're in someone's home, and especially with a notable person who's not usually wanting to suffer unprofessional set-up/tear down times. It's so much fun for me, and right up my alley. Interesting people...and environmental shots.
I just finished up the final files for the most recent shoot I did, which was portraits of Mimi Sheraton, a chef, cookbook author and overall food star. She was very gracious and her home kitchen was beautiful. Not a microwave or toaster oven in site! It'll be great to see them published. Can't share the photos until then, but I think there are some winners.

PUBLISHED - Edible Manhattan April/May Issue

2009-04-01T12:39:00.004-04:00

The pictures of Robert Krulwich were published in the April/May Issue of Edible Manhattan. I'm SO happy to see the pictures in print and looking fantastic. It's just such a nice feeling to see your hard work finally out in the world. (Even if no one knows it's your work - yet.) I added my name to the scan of the first page of the story for the blog - for my own personal satisfaction. :)
Off to shoot more....

Edible Manhattan Outtakes - Robert Krulwich

2009-03-14T13:27:00.004-04:00

I got the opportunity to shoot an editorial portrait of Robert Krulwich, one of the great co-hosts of Radio Lab - a radio show produced by WNYC. It's one of my favorite radio shows and I never miss a podcast. It was a really fun shoot and Robert Krulwich is as awesome in person as he is on the radio! My assistant and I laughed the whole time listening in on the interview as we were shooting and documenting. You can see the printed images in the latest issue of Edible Manhattan. (Though they forgot to include my photo credit with the images!! Argh.) The photo editor was nice enough to call me personally and apologize which made it a little better. Oh well, I know it's not his fault! Hopefully, they'll print a correction in the next issue and will remember to run photo credits in the future!

Flashes of Hope, NYC

2009-02-21T22:04:00.005-05:00

Atleast once a year, I volunteer a day to the very worthy cause, Flashes of Hope.
"Flashes of Hope is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating powerful, uplifting portraits of children fighting cancer and other life-threatening illnesses." (http://flashesofhope.org)
Below are a few examples of the portraits from the most recent photo sessions.

I bring a backdrop, two lights, an assistant and we spend 5 hours shooting portraits of these amazing children and their families.
This time we shot 9 families.

It's an amazing reminder of the important things in life. The kids and their parents are so kind, funny, and warm. It's an incredible afternoon being able to use the skills and equipment I have spent so many years collecting and use them to provide and create such a positive experience. And to not worry about invoices, production, etc. To just focus on taking great portraits of some great kids and families.

Each family gets atleast 10 prints (black and white) at the end. White House printing donates their services to the program as well.

Edible Manhattan - Meredith Kurtzman - Outtake

2009-02-21T21:57:00.004-05:00

I was assigned to shoot a portrait of Meredith Kurtzman, the pastry chef of Otto in the West Village for Edible Manhattan Magazine.
She was very professional and shared her time with me graciously. The gelato is AWESOME!
In this is outtake she's making the stratacelli gelato. Yummmm.
