Promo Material - PRM
I often work with actors and musicians to try and help get themselves noticed in a professional way. I tell people "if it looks like you spend some dough on something like a poster or a photo shoot for a promo card, then people take you a lot more seriously". This is a difficult exchange to get people to shell out money for, but it truly works and has been the #1 way to attract business even before Warhol painted that old soup can.
Photo Booth - PTB
One of my favorite types of assignments is to shoot high-energetic portraits. I just like the interaction I get when I have someone's complete individual attention in front of me. I created this site to showcase some "photo booth" photography I've done. It's difficult to showcase all my photography on a commercial website, not to mention counter-productive, so additional website's come in handy.
Sulco - SUL
Occasionally, I get an assignment like this to do something outside my normal domain so to speak. My family owns and operates a custom wood mill in New Gloucester, Maine and often call upon their NYC son to make them look good or create an instructional DVD. I really like the diversity so I welcome a challenge especially if it's for my family.
Lean Body Pilates - LBP
My Wife has many talents, but three things stand out that she would like to be known for; Singing, Acting and Pilates. She is fortunate to have someone this close to help her in designing and promoting this work. You'll notice she has an acting site and a pilates site over there on the right... she almost has as many web sites as I do!
Jaron Vesely - JRV
Jaron is a very talented singer and actor so it was a pleasure working with him on this website. I shot the photographs (as I often do) for him and we did a poster and promo card for his Cabaret, Swingers & Standards. I even went to his show to thoroughly see this project all the way through... and the show was great.
Jenn Seracuse - JLS
I mentioned her earlier... for a recap visit Lean Body Pilates.
Doug MacGregor - DGM
A super talented photographer, artist, scrapbook maker and all around humanitarian... I am proud to call this person my friend. We're in the process of making a new site for him so check back shortly for some big changes!
Mallory Hawks - MAH
Mallory was a blast to shoot and thought it only appropriate to create a website that showcases her personality and her strengths. She has a quirk and a unique beauty that really comes through here. Go look!
Shanel Cooper-Sykes - SCS
The biggest website project to date! A huge multi-layered website buit to sell and promote. Very fun making a site that has this many pages and not to mention several brother and sister sites to match: www.shanelsclassroom.com - www.stilettosbody.com and also
