BostonPhotographer.com going live

My new site, bostonphotogorapher.com will be live on March 3rd, 2010. Although in a state of perpetual beta it will give you a fresh look at my corporate, headshot, educational, and magazine portfolios.
Hope to see you there!

Paul Farmer, Partners in Health, Boston MA

Partners in Health has a tiny office which befits the non-profit status his medical group has. BUT it isn't great for photos, its chock full of great people working to get people the healthcare they deserve. Fortunately I pulled a few strings and found a spot up the street at Mass Art College to shoot him and one of his fellow doctors. This was a cover for Contribute Magazine.

Ocean Spray Corporate Headquarters, MA

Ocean Spray has a nice spread south of Boston, on a number of cranberry bogs. Cranberries aren't usually in season when I'm there, but they do have this great truck they've used in their TV advertising.
God Bless the ad agency that gave this to Ocean Spray as a gift!

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.

Boston Corporate Execs, Informal Poses

In some cases client want to show their employees in a more informal way, as if they are interacting with clients or colleagues. The beauty of this photographic reportage style is the ability to get a variety of looks out of one session. A huge benefit is that your subjects are far more at ease, move around naturally, can talk and engage with others. Some business people actually get real work done when I am shooting. Converting these images to Black and White in post-production gives the photos an even greater authenticity.

Boston Hospital Health Care Shoot

Here's a sample from a recent New England area hospital shoot where we shot various nursing caregivers in a variety of situations. In a typical day we might shoot six health care professionals, depending on who they are and their schedule.Hospitals always want to show off the latest technology, so we have her in front of a Phillips MRI machine. Working as a health care photographer in Boston, I've determined the go-to person in a hospital is the head nurse. Never make work for the head nurse!
