Classical guitarist Eliot Fisk photographed at the New England Conservatory in Boston for a story in the New York Times. During our session Mr. Fisk played the guitar almost the entire time. It was a real treat to hear him play pieces such as Bach’s Cello Suite adapted for guitar.
I enjoyed working on the Sustainable Forestry Initiative‘s new website and marketing photography last fall during their annual convention in Burlington, VT. The subjects which included the company CEO and President, a board member and other members of SFI were photographed against a white seamless. I used a Profoto D4 generator with a Calumet large softbox as the main light, a Profoto 7′ Silver Giant Reflector as fill placed behind me and two Chimera medium strip boxes for kickers placed at 45 degree angles behind the subject to their left and right. Below are two samples from their website’s homepage and a secondary page.

I photographed a story in the July issue of Smithsonian Magazine about efforts in the mid-19th century to trademark fruit by horticulturalist Charles Hovey. He used artists to create drawings of the fruit as a document to identify different varieties and bound them in a multi-volume book called The Fruits of America. The story is a very interesting example of early intellectual property.
Hovey was also a three year president of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. The MHS, which is located currently at Elm Bank in Wellesley, MA, was where these photos were made. The reservation also happens to be one of my family’s favorite places to picnic. I highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.
