Shooting a 1958 Leica M3 with film during a quick trip to beautiful Nicaragua.
The beef from Nicaragua is truly sublime, grass fed and naturally lower in fat, it represents one of the great cuts of meat in the world.
Come to Costa Rica on your honeymoon and bring your dress. You can pay me to destroy it for the sake of art. I will smash your cell phone on a rock and key your car for free.
This is a quick demo montage that I shot for myself as a test for a lighting technique. This was shot at night using only artificial light. I wanted a really gritty feel to go with the texture of the hands and the tobacco so I raked a single softbox from behind the subject for maximum detail.
to pilot a modified Cessna across several countries with a camera bolted underneath, wired with GPS’s and laptops to fly to a known and plotted location over open ocean with pilot and photographer wearing life vests to shoot ACTUAL environmental destruction as it happens in perfect light is a hell of a task
Some things are best left unmolested- paintings by Hieronymus Bosch, a perfect ripe fig, Ennio Morricone scores, and mojitos. These days everything is remixed, mashed with something else, fused culturally , dumbed down and f-ed up to accommodate our ever diminishing attention spans and need to consume newness for the sake of new.
The holy grail of beverage photography is the ability to sync a flash at a high enough speed to stop the liquid, and beverage photographers have been using exotic and expensive lighting to achieve these results. Beverage photographers have traditionally used very high power strobes, dialed to the minimum power settings to create the shortest flash durations.
Sometimes things just work perfectly, the planets align and good fortune smiles upon you. When shooting food, you are at the mercy of the chef – bad chef = crap photos, no matter what kind of tricky lighting and Photoshop skills you have. A great chef gives you the plate shown here. Chef Michael Brough from the Four Seasons in Costa Rica created this study in simplicity and perfection, riffing on the classic surf and turf and bringing to the party the finest piece of beef that can be prepared.
