A little lookbook

I was thrilled when Blanca asked me to shoot another lookbook for her. We had worked together back in May and it was a lot of fun. She had the brilliant Amy Merrick style the flowers again, and we got ourselves a model. Here are some of my favorites from our November shoot.

More Galápagos Adventures

One of our daytime boat excursions in the Galápagos took us to North Seymour Island, an island lifted from the ocean floor by a seismic event. The vegetation and wildlife here is simply amazing. We saw magnificent frigate birds, iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and sea lions, just to name a few. Because it was the dry season, the trees were all bare, which made for striking images.

From there, we took another boat ride to Las Bachas beach. We were warned where not to step, as the beach is a major egg-laying site for sea turtles (how cool!). It was a little chilly to be spending much time in the water for me, so I took a leisurely stroll along the water while others went snorkeling. The sand was extra-fine and felt wonderful beneath my feet. The colors were just unreal. On these cold and grey NYC days, it's hard to remember the idyllic weather of the islands.

Winter Still Life

An ongoing goal of mine is to become better with artificial light (because as much as I love natural light, not every space I shoot in has beautiful or abundant natural light). These are some results from today's practice. You almost can't tell that the first three were all shot with the same background.
