Emily Iaquinta My model gives me a blank stare as if it to say, "Is that it?" Mother gives me a glance, and by Mother and I mean Russ, my right hand man. He gingerly pulls me a side to talk technical, but what he really is saying as he whispers into my ear, "Maybe we...
Sixto Franco No this isn't a Cliff Notes version of Dostoyevsky's masterpiece. But the man did get it right. We're all gamblers at the slot machine of life. For some it's a career or business, maybe it's your family and children, personally it maybe that New Year's...
Tony Arnold, Soprano Incongruity is underrated if you ask me. The bizarre, absurd, the playful. I love a photo, or any other art form for that matter, that makes me laugh, gasp, takes my breath away, that makes me weep. Photography is more than something pretty to...
I love a business lunch. I'll have a sidecar please. The waiter perplexed as to what a Sidecar is, let alone a thirty something ordering off the drink menu, shuffles off to consult the barman. Impressed, the 50 year old pro gives me a wink and a nod. It's going to be...
I know, controversial, right? But seriously, don't over think it. What's your day to day outfit of choice? Do you spend 30 mins (+) organizing your outfit, or do you roll out of bed and step into your casual uniform of jeans, t-shirt and comfortable shoes? Obsessed...
It's midway through the Spring semester, I'm sitting in my studio irritated. Surrounded in a sea of arial font type, neon yellow posted notes and red sharpie pens, I'm grading papers and questioning my own knowledge as I fact check copious generalizations being made...
You know you want to. Tell me your secrets. Confess, you visual sinner, you! Reservation be damned. Be vulnerable and open up for once in your artistic life. Let your guard down. This is you, your image we're talking about after all. We're moments away from the...
If you haven't figured it out, I'm genuinely interested in people. Portrait photographers by nature are makeshift anthropologists, psychologist, sociologist and various other "-gists" all wrapped into one. Me? I'm more interested in who someone is on a global level....
He sat there grinning like the cat that ate the canary. Was it because he was wearing canary yellow pants? Possibly. A wave of happiness washed over him. He was living Art in real-time. An artist of disruption. Bathed in a sea of black winter coats on the...
I feel sorry for people who don't drink because when they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. - Frank Sinatra Or was it Dean Martin? Wait wait, no no it's rumored WC Fields or maybe even Jack Lemmon lay claim to that quote. Alas,...
They stood there like chess pieces across a crowded board. The board, the Queens bound R train. His back against the subway car doors, averting eye contact with his partner. Seated, she glared at him over a crowded subway car. The onlookers missing the pathos in...
Sharon HarmsRie Ogura, Hair and Makeup. I just got off the phone with a potential producer/client who's about to drop $15k into a video campaign for web, social media, the works. Everything but primetime TV. I can hear you gasping over the internet...Really? $15,000...
Remember the words of Mrs. Baker my high school economics teacher, ... KISS. Keep it simple, stupid. Too often we run to the unlimited lunch buffet and grab everything our stomach desires. I’ll try this, and this, and this, and I must have that. And half way...
What are my plans for Fashion week you say? Nothing. Kudos to those brave souls in the photo pits, struggling for the best angle with 30 other photographers, racing to process and sell the image to whatever new source will buy. Meanwhile, your favorite A-List...
Windows Please. Gesturing That four top in the middle would be great. Thanks! Creativity on the Go Change it up. To quote Paul Simon, "Hop on a bus, Gus and set yourself free." Break up the monotony of the routine and see life from a different perspective. Doesn't...
