quad lens camera / jeff devers

these nifty shots were taken YEARS AGO with a quad lens camera. the camera has 4 separate lenses that are timed to capture the image with a slight delay. if you examine these images you will notice that no section is completely alike, due to the time lapse between capture. the lucky subject is the wonderful Jeff Devers, always a sport and and all around stellar individual.

things

yes, it's been quite a while since i've posted. this is know. trying to get back in the swing of things with this collague. this if from my web class.

3 flowers

this image was captured in studio at Harrington College of Design. it was taken as part of a series for my studio final project. i borrowed the jewelry pieces from a local bead store and they subsequently used these images in their marketing materials. i learned A LOT in my studio lighting class. even though i'm not shooting much anymore, i'm still glad that i have this particular skill.

the store, the studio

these are images from Jenna White Miami.

with night invite

This is the cover of an invitation i did for the make-a-wish foundation for their annual wish night event. this was a 4 page invitation with an accompanying rsvp card and a vellum inset. this is by far the biggest audience i have ever reached, 4,100 pcs of each are being printed. in my world, this is huge.

liz & ella

i spent Labor Day weekend in New York and i met this amazing little creature, ella miriam. this shot captures a beautiful moment between mother and child.

robin & natan

young lovers

pearls 5 & 6

pearls, pearls, pearls everywhere. these pearls seemed to congregate in the kitchen. it's so much fun to explore these old images. i created this series almost 2 years ago - feels like a lifetime ago. these were captured on film. they have a grainy texture that can only be achieved with film. Enjoy.

kate rose

this is a portrait of my very lovely friend kate rose. she is an artist and is seated in front of one of her paintings of a fairy, dressed as a fairy. i LOVE this image. it captures her spirit, beauty, vitality and playfulness. this is truly one of my most successful images to date.

jenna white invite

i created this invitation last year for a friend. it's graphic and funky, just my style.

portrait of my mother

this is a portrait of my mother. she was sad because my little sister, robin had just moved to israel. you can see sadness in her eyes. this is part of being a parent; worrying, having to say goodbye, hoping... i truly love and admire my mother, and sometimes she misses us so much it hurts. i don't know that kind of love.

brown pearl necklace

This is a detail shot of a beautiful brown pearl necklace. I love the composition. The strands run wild, but feel completely contained within the frame.

robin

This beautiful chick is my little sister, Robin. She is an actress and this is her headshot.

portfolio

This is my prized portfolio. I created every aspect of this book, I do not lie. I hand die-cut the cover and wrapped boards with book fabric. I printed every image on velvet art paper and sewed up the spine by hand and for added touches I peppered vellum pages throughout the book. This book was a labor of love, and it's fantastic.

pearl series submissions 3 & 4

"no loitering" & "naughty" are both part of my pears in peculiar places series. "no loitering" was spur of the moment, while "naughty" was staged. this project developed very organically. i think it works.

bridal shower invite

This bridal shower invitation was so simple and elegant. It think it's fantastic, and so easy to make.

picture a day portfolio

This was my portfolio for the pearl series. I'll be posting images from that series soon. The assignment was to take a picture a day for 50 days. The subject I chose was an over sized strand of pearls and I shot them everywhere. For the presentation, I made this box in the likeness of a jewelry box. I love this project, I'm happy with how it turned out.
