I intercut footage from two “beauty” stock shoots for Image Souce. Shot on the Sony EX-1 and the Canon 5DMk2, I think this shows the interesting similarities and differences between these two cameras, in fairly similar setups. You can read more about it on my blog here.
Here are some shot selections from my first shoot for Image Source, a stock footage company. This was part of their cross-media collections, and I was working alongside photographer Jack Hollingsworth who was shooting “matched” stills to the video I was shooting. You can read more about it here.
This past week I had two shoots in NYC for Image Source. I did my first shoot with them back in December and it was their first time using the Canon 5DMkII, but they were thrilled with what they got from it and liked the stuff I was shooting. The client I worked with on that shoot (Lisa Curesky) passed my name on to other art directors at Image Source and photographers they work with, which landed me these gigs.

The other week I got to take part in a fun shoot on a type of project I had never really done before. And, this was the first job I had gotten through Twitter! (For those who think that Twitter is just about finding out what someone had for lunch, it’s not. I use it pretty much solely to get tips and ideas from industry people.) A guy I follow posted that photographer Jack Hollingsworth (@photojack) was looking for 5D/7D video shooters in the Boston area. I got in touch with Jack, and he checked out my stuff and I got the gig. The job was for Image Source, a stock photo/footage company based in London that has started to release a new line of products that they call “cross-media”. Read more…
