Happy Holidays

On a recent trip to Denver for the holidays I photographed the Public Service Gas and Lighting building in downtown with its seasonal lighting all aglow. One of the many great lighting designs in sparkling city center.

Thanks to all my new and returning clients for another busy year filled with interesting and vibrant projects. I look forward to your new project challenges in 2016!

Happy Holidays!

Sean Collier Memorial at MIT

I had been interested in photographing this powerful memorial as soon as I had been offered it. Sean Collier was the MIT police officer shot and killed by the Boston Marathon bombers as they fled the city. This beautifully lit and designed landscape memorial pays tribute to Sean and the sacrifice he made in a design of strength and unity.
Many months went by as all the parties concerned tried to find a date to photograph this moving memorial. In the peak of fall we found that day and I photographed this view, other high angle views and ground level views featuring the inspiring lighting design set into the pavers which show the constellation of stars in the sky the night of April 18, 2013.

Lounging Around

This view of the newly renovated guest lounge at the Simon Mall at Rockingham Park NH features its brightly colored red stuffed chairs and booths with the light streaming into this quiet end of the mall’s food court space where once stood a loud carousel.

Class Plan

It is always a challenge to photograph new construction, in this case a renovated lab-lecture space.
When that space has actually not been completed yet and the construction crew is still working on their final punch list on the day of photography it’s a challenge. Though we had to rewrite our class plan, we found a way to get the 4 views we needed with a cooperative construction manager, a ramped up shooting schedule and a bit of post production to make it all come together.

Boston’s Senator

I recently completed a large installation of wall decor photographs for EY Boston and Cambridge that features iconic views of the city and its history. This set of images which I curated from my existing image files and new photography would not have been complete without representing Boston’s Senator, the late Edward M. Kennedy with a dusk view of the new Institute for the U.S. Senate building.

Chartered Territory

This graphic and utilitarian designed charter school has begun to revitalize the neighborhood in which it is built. It is a beacon for the K-4 students it serves. I photographed both interiors and exteriors of this vibrant new school project.

Art Deco Challenge

The first challenge was to isolate this Art Deco icon that had been surrounded over the years by newer skyscrapers in downtown Boston’s financial district. 160 Federal Street was built in 1929 and remains one of city’s iconic designs. The second challenge was to arrange for access to the roof of an adjacent property on a beautiful summer evening to show this gem in all its finery.

Good Things Brought to Life

In this interior view of a GE facility in Massachusetts we tried to include the recently renovated interior reception along with the adjacent product showroom, tying the dynamic composition all together with the company logo.

Upstanding

Often a signature building and blue chip client is all that is needed to breathe life into what once was an underutilized part of a city. One Channel Center in Boston’s Seaport District is just one of those projects, the building is fully leased to one tenant until 2029.

Screen Test

A phone call to photograph some new interior screen designs for long time client Mitchell Mauk (Mauk Design) for his new company Humanitype on location in Iceland certainly got my attention this winter. But the logistics and scheduling were not to be so we decided to photograph the screens in the studio and place them into existing environments both interiors and landscapes. Here is one of our efforts. We created about 12 composites and Mitchell used them in his exhibit and marketing at the Milan Furniture Fair. His screen designs garnered a lot of attention.

Happy New Year 2015

2014 continued my success of the previous year and made it my busiest year in business.  I continued my work photographing both corporate and residential interior design, retail, educational, healthcare, landscape design and construction-industrial subjects.
My client base continues to grow with many new clients. Thanks to all who have made it a great year!

I'm looking forward to another year filled with great clients and interesting projects. Please contact me if I can be of help with your photography needs in 2015.

Happy New Year!

When vibrant colors and neutrals coexist

High-end exhibit photography has always been a component of my architectural photography services. This view of a pharmaceutical exhibit at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center is of an exhibit design based in neutral white and gray tones and featuring two vibrant color schemes for the drug lines represented. Through additional lighting and proper post processing of the image files I was able preserve the mood and feeling that the exhibit and lighting designers had in mind.

Medical marketing shoot comes to life

This marketing photography assignment was to feature the new offices of a medical bioskills lab in the Boston's Seaport district. The original warehouse building had been fully renovated into tech related office suites. My client was looking for a selection of views with people featuring their new space for an initial marketing push. Propping and styling made the not fully occupied spaces come to life. Staging each room ahead of the photography allowed the assignment to be completed all in one day.

Staying after school

This interior view of a special education facility in Billerica, MA was one of many views needed by the architect. Due to the age and sensitive nature of the student body all views had to be photographed before or after school hours. This view is from my afternoon photography and was composed to feature the floor and ceiling solutions of this group space with it's proximity to the classrooms. A view that could not have been made during the school day. 
Sometimes staying after school is a good thing.

Repurposed Residential

This view is from a newly repurposed residential complex in Cambridge MA. The contemporary Wyeth apartments were created from a former private school facility and provide spacious city loft living with easy tenant parking. An electric vehicle charging station is even on the grounds!
I photographed this project for commercial real estate marketing use.

Miracle Mile Retail-AIA Chicago

This image of the Burberry Retail Store at 633 N Michigan Ave, Chicago IL by Architect:  Callison Barteluce Architects NY will be included in the ASMP Architectural photography Gallery display at this years AIA annual convention in Chicago June 26-28. I was honored to be among a select group of ASMP member photographers to be included in this gallery show.

Pro Bono for Habitat ReStore

A call came into the studio from Habitat Boston to help with a marketing campaign for their ReStore locations in the metro Boston area. I have volunteered to document several home building projects over the years for Habitat, even one in my home town of Needham MA.

This was my first marketing photography shoot for Habitat. We re-arranged a ReStore location in West Roxbury, MA and I photographed this image and other variations which will run in bus shelters and in MBTA cars throughout the spring encouraging people to donate at the ReStore nearest them. A fun and satisfying project.

Snow can be an asset

The year began with an assignment to photograph interiors and exteriors of a new rehabilitation hospital in Ludlow MA. The shoot needed to be completed prior to patient move in day and only one day was available in the hospital's schedule. A snowstorm had passed through in the morning which blanketed the unfinished landscaping with a fresh coat of snow, when the sun came out we were able to complete the exteriors. So sometimes snow can be an asset. 

Happy New Year 2014

Wishing all my clients a prosperous New Year.

2013 has been one of my busiest years with a steady stream of great projects from new and repeat clients. This year I photographed office and retail spaces, corporate interiors, hotels, hospitals, banks, performance and fitness centers, high school and college projects for a variety of satisfied clients.

Happy New Year!
