Music photography packaging Part 1

I’ve always long admired the music single format that has really been embraced in the UK. One of my favourites of all time has been the Verve’s Urban Hymns and all it’s cd art/photography on the singles really tie in together well. Love the urban NYC grittiness coming through in all the photos.

A very moving and inspiring talk from photography giant Platon. It’s nearly 30 minutes in length but very much worth the view.

Kirk Bloodsworth

I have spoken in the past about beginning new photography projects with a focus on humanitarian issues. One of which being that of wrongful convictions and death row exonerated individuals.

This project is in collaboration with Witness to Innocence organization in Philadelphia. Please please please, read up on some of this information on their website, it’s very informative.

This is just an early taste of what I’ve started and there is no telling when such a project will come to completion. Please read a bit on Mr. Kirk Bloodsworth the first man to be exonerated by DNA evidence.

Please spread the word about this to as many people as you can. The more publicity the better! Thanks guys!

Going through this edit from a recent shoot and very taken aback at some very unexpected results in the best way possible. Lighting conditions were less than ideal and a bit of wind blowing never helps.

Early NY

Digging into my arsenal of old tricks, I was carrying on what I started doing in Toronto now here in my first days here in New York.

Toronto early 2000s

Some of my first forays into portrait photography. I would stop whoever I found interesting looking to be in my photographs, I fully recommend this to any starting photographer. I developed a sense of confidence and really came out of my shell. As a photographer you need to take control of situations and really direct your subjects.

Adam Nadel Photography
Please welcome my good friend Adam Nadel to the internet as his website is finally up! I’ve learned a lot from Adam from my early days in New York and continue to all the time. He is very much responsible for the results of my work today. His work is second to none documenting humanitarian issues.

Roots

Going back to the start…street portraiture. This was really the beginning for me and how I really became a portrait photographer. It’s been a long time since I did anything like this and took a little bit to get comfortable, but getting unexpected results is sometimes the best thing.

Todd Heisler

One of my favorite photos of all time, Todd Heisler’s photo of deceased American troops returning from Iraq is extremely visceral. See the rest of the series here: http://pdnphotooftheday.com/2010/01/3347

Lisa Krantz

As mentioned I’ve been doing more and more research lately into humanitarian issues and the use of photography in promoting them. Though these types of photos are necessarily anything new, I really love this photo by Lisa Krantz. So raw, powerful and emotional.

Lisa Krantz, is a staff photographer for the San Antonio Express-News.
