A gorgeous Engagement Session on a brisk Illinois Winter day ...
After months of work on the Website, CD Cover & Merch, it was finally time for the Em & Them EP Release Show. The show was held at the awesome Goose Island in Wrigleyville in downtown Chicago. The band arrived just shortly before I did. I was eager to deliver some awesome shirts made by Javier at Saturated Threads. Gina Venier Gina Venier...
We tend to meet alot of our clients fo consults at a local restaurant called Spider Sushi. At one point in time FotoEnvy’s own Chris Warkocki worked as a Sushi Chef, and currently our Editor Yunkin is a waiter there. Over the course of time, we’ve built up a rapport with them. I was asked by them to shoot some of their Sushi for a special Valentine’s Day Special they would be running. I had never shot food before (other then at a...
I don’t tend to take photos of male models. It’s not that I’m against it, the work simply doesn’t come my way too often. So when it does, I come to realize, it’s a WHOLE new ball game in caparison to female modeling. My Best Friend Zack asked me to take some promotional images of his friend and workout partner Cameron. When he arrived, I looked to my business partner who for various reasons, was not so energetic in the...
Something described to me recently was “The Wash.” What is The Wash you may ask? The Wash is the Photographer’s equivilant of a Writer’s Block. It’s when you have to much stuff going on in your head, and it all mixes together. Thus causing the inability to be creative. This was happening to me, and Mr Chris gave me explicit insturctions on how to handle this situation. I’ll bestow them upon you: Finish Washing the...
The variety of music I listen to is tremendous, and like alot of people, from the time I was about 15, music has been playing around me on an almost constant basis. Throughout this time, I have only attended a small handfull of shows, which I find ironic now that I seem to be flying full force into thr world of Band/Concert Photography. One of my close friends Kyle (yes, there is more then one of me…be scared!) showed me a really awesome sounding...
It became clear sometime ago that Em & Them was in need of some Behind The Scenes images. So I hopped into the car and was off to the cold windy city. I must say, there is a very urban feel to Chicago in the winter time. Bring me back to watching a John Hughes movie. I made my way to the destination, grabbed my intense amount of gear for such a small shoot (Laptop, Camera, Gear Bag, Modify Watches) and marched my way 2 blocks in the city to their...
A few weeks back, I decided to hop online and look for a new watch. I started my search in the all powerful Google with the words “cheap cool watch” and as I dug around, I kept being brought back to this Modify Watch. As I dug into this company, their idea was cool. They make a bunch of different face and band designs, and you can mix and match them. And they’re pretty funky lookin’. So I ordered my first one. The very next day I...
Earlier this year I had been asked to shoot the MDA’s Annual Local Lockup. For those of you not familiar with this, I’ll fill ya in. The MDA takes volunteer business owners of managers (Prisoners) for the day to a location (Jail) in which they are held there until they can raise a pre-agreed contribution (Bail). This is a great event, and raises a TON of money on a local level for the MDA. During this event I had managed to make some...
