Boston University Admissions Photos

This Boston University student worked at the Marriott Hotel in Boston, MA. I was asked to shoot in her co-op environment for a Boston University admissions piece. A big part of the Marriott business is meetings, therefore we elected to show her within the conference area of the hotel. By adding a tiny bit of blur in some photos, (not all!)I was able to suggest the energy and excitement our subject felt working in such an active business.

Babson College Alumni Magazine

Here's a typical example of an alumni magazine shoot. We're in an old gym and have 10 minutes to shoot these alumni for the cover, before they head downstairs to an awards ceremony. Our designated location is a dumpy curtain, so we scramble for a new environment. I like the glass block wall, but the sun has long since set. With the help of some powerful strobes and a bit of photo knowledge, I'm able to light a nice clean cover for my clients. Within minutes our subjects arrive with the President of the Babson.
We were very fortunate in this case to have a woman in the shot, whose clothes and hair provided much needed color contrast, not to mention natural beauty.As in most cases, the 'pre-planned' location isn't right and thinking on your feet is required. All in all, a very successful shot.

Babson College Student Photography

I've been working for Babson College in Babson Park, MA for a number of years. Recently we did a shoot of international students, and were lucky enough to use this gigantic globe at Babson as a prop. Educational photography is a nice break from corporate work, your subjects are younger, but even harder to schedule! Email seems to be the only way to reach college kids....

Harvard Business School Photography

I shoot for a variety of educational clients in the new England area, among them is the Harvard Business School in Cambridge. The campus at Harvard is very pretty in the Spring and Summer, so we make every effort to have professors outside whenever possible.
Harvard likes their people to look natural and approachable. As a result I try to use lighting that enhances the existing natural light. Using this approach you can move your subjects around a bit, and capture several 'looks'.
