Behind the Scenes on a video shoot in New York City

I’ve been working on small video projects for the New York Restoration Project this year. It’s been fun to learn some new skills and get the sound, lighting and editing part under control. Here you can see I’m using a Profoto light for a bit of fill on the subjects face, but also a profoto light and umbrella to keep my camera and interviewer dry. Sometimes you can’t decide which shoot day is best, and you’ve got to make the beat of a bad weather day.

Working on more Video Projects

in

We’re always happy to create some videos for our regular clients. While we’re normally hired as photographers, our equipment is able to shoot video and we’re always available to jump on new projects. With the new world of COVID-19 business has changed and keeps changing. Here you can see a small two camera setup where we recorded one side of a zoom call for a video that a client is producing to make a big announcement in the coming weeks. With two Sony A9’s and a lav mic we can get some clean looking and sounding video.

Photographing Food and Beverage for Bluestone Lane

The past couple of days I have been photographing food for the new app that Bluestone Lane will be launching in the coming weeks. Although a lot of the concept was to shoot uniform images of all food and beverages, there is always an opportunity to capture some subtlety. Although I’m not a full time food photographer, I really enjoy capturing content for clients who work in the food industry.

And here’s a behind the scenes of the setup for both days of shooting food.
