Recipe Shoot - Newark Academy Students
Photographing a Recipe
Using Adobe Spark in conjunction with your blogs we will be photographing a recipe of your choosing. As an example I have used a cheesecake recipe:
A) Pick a recipe.
B) Design a Spark Page for the recipe, log into Spark with your NA email credentials.
C) Plan your shots. You will need an opener which should be the finished recipe. An ingredients shot. process shots.
D) Shoot. And shoot some more.

June Term
I have spent the last year teaching photography and digital art at Newark Academy in Livingston, NJ. A private school grades 6-12, it has been a very rewarding and all encompassing endeavor. June Term marks the last two weeks of classes where high school students pick one class and have it all day for the final two weeks.
I am doing Digital Photography on Location and will be taking my 12 students to 5 different locations for practice and inspiration. As a bit of a perfectionist, I have spent this past weekend going to a couple of these locations to do some research. I visited historic Millbrook Village in the Delaware Water Gap and areas of the Lower East Side in Manhattan.

Let the Sunshine In
It’s that time of year and spring is almost here! Click the link and enjoy Aquarius (Let the Sunshine In) by the 5th Dimension. Music has always been a part of my creative process. I often tell my assistants that the only reason I started my own business was to control the music. In reality, it’s creative collaboration that is really music to my ears!
Beauty
I have spent the better part of two decades photographing cosmetics in one form or another, my big break in this area was working for Clarins and InStyle early in my career. That led to much more work from the likes of Sephora, L’Oreal & recently my first job for Clinique. I love the shapes, the packaging and the colors. They didn’t tell us in art school how creative commercial photography could be.
