I recently shot at Hatch Labs in Frank Ghery’s west side highway IAC headquarters.  I have always wanted to see that building, his first in the city.  Coincidently, I was sent there again 2 weeks later for another assignment.  Hatch Labs is an incubator for cell phone app start ups.  This is my second Forbes Leader Board shoot.  You can see the other post here or read the Forbes article here.

You can see more of my work for Huggies here.

I recently photographed the Russian American fertilizer magnate, Alexander Rovt, in his recently completed “empire style” 27 million dollar upper east side townhouse.  You can read the Forbes article and see a slide show here.  Also of interest, he just bought 14 Wall Street for over $300 million cash.

Here is a new campaign I shot in November for Huggies.  It was a lot of fun working again with Ogilvy Chicago.  The dads pictured here are, from top, Ben Cherry, Sergio Fuenzalida, Ron Charles and Leo Coltrane.

I photographed a really cool campus in Manhattan called General Assembly.  Entreprenuers rent space in these large open areas for their small business start ups.  Their are classes and common areas for meetings and hanging out.  You can read the story here.

It’s always fun to do something different.  I had to find an interesting angle, showing the expanse.  The photo ran as a spread across two pages. They wrote a bit about some of the people in the photo with arrows pointing to them.  So I didn’t want anyone to be too small.  I ended up shooting with the Canon 24mm TS-E II, but barely utilizing the movements.  I really like that lens lately.  I used it for a portrait recently which I will post once published.  I was on a ladder and the camera was just out of comfortable reach.  I gently clamped my laptop to the ladder’s top and shot in live view on the computer.  I was able to verify focus and see what the camera was seeing, and fire the camera on my computer- very cool.

Last year I photographed Mercy Townsend, winner of the Gerber Generation Photo Search.

The original Gerber Baby, Ann Turner Cook came by to meet her.

Melanie Sawyer was our baby wrangler.  Thanks to her, Mercy worked with us happily for about 2 hours which is exceptional for a 2 year old.

Ellen Silverstein was styling wardrobe and Nikki Wang fixing Mercy’s hair as her parents watch proudly.

Everyone crowded around Some Studio to see Mercy give Ann a hug.

Can you tell which one is a Gerber Baby?

Thanks to Josh Freiwald for the behind the scenes photos.

Bubbles can be oh so elusive.

Al blushed as he was complimented by his on air colleagues this morning for his appearance on the cover of American Way.  I can count the number of times I’ve actually seen someone reading a magazine story with my photos in it (3).  This time it happened on national TV!

You can watch it here.

Here is one of my favorite outtakes:

There are more of my photos of squirmy babies on Huggies Youtube Channel.

Just before the holidays I photographed Jon Cheigh of Cohen and Steers for Barron’s.  You can see the article here.

A 5-year-old friend of ours found a photo I took in Babies R Us today. You can see more of my work with Aprica here.  You can see a couple of other shots from this shoot here.

I photographed Shane Smith for Forbes at the Williamsburg, Brooklyn, offices of Vice.  We also shot at his favorite after work spot, Hotel Delmano.  You can read the story here.

I have the cover of the January issue of Scientific American.  We photographed in the studio to illustrate a feature on the aging process.

I really enjoyed photographing  Elinor Giobbi.  Below are a couple of raw outtakes.  I look forward to getting deeper into these images.

Smart Money always hires me to do some unusual images.  Here are 2 that are in the January 2012 issue.

I had the pleasure of seeing the show at Manhattan Theater Club.  It was a great performance.  It’s currently in previews and opens 12/19.  Just like Cradle and All there is one big poster beside the theater entrance on 131 W 55th Street.

If you’re in the neighborhood, check it out. It should be up for a couple of months.  You may find me there, staring at it, I’ve yet to see it in daylight.
