Barber Shop



These are two images from a recent shoot for BlueCross BlueSheild at a small barber shop in Washington, DC. The first is an personal portrait taken of Fredrick just before we started shooting. He had a great look and I wanted to take a few minutes to take his portrait.
The second photo is the one used for the advertisement. It was a fairly simple shoot - mainly used the available light from outside and the existing tungsten lights in the shop. Two lights were use. One on the left, behind the subjects and bounced off the ceiling. The second is a fill light directed towards the subject

The Magic Box

Creativity and the Images and Words that Inspire.
This is a blog about Creativity and the images and words that inspire it. Photography should be about mystery - just like a magic box. Where no one knows what it holds, but yet is inspired by the thought of what might be inside. Images that inspire keep us thinking, guessing what it might, or might not, be. Photography can have that same hold on us. A simple image can inspire, influence and even arouse - a simple image taken from a window can create many emotions: loneliness, isolation, even freedom. That's what keeps us looking. Personally, I love to search for meaning in things. It sparks my imagination and creativity. From that great ideas come.
