New Ad Work Just in Time for Spring!

Favorites From YMCA Shoot!

The shoot was incredible! Great energy between the crew, agency Y&R and client! We did a live casting at five different YMCA locations around Chicago. During the casting we worked with a mix of people to coordinate heights, and bring out expression from people who aren't normally in front of camera. My ability to accomplish this was vital. We worked to create a relaxed energy on set for the kids and adults we were shooting. One of the most important aspects of the shoot was working with our talent to get the desired look. We achieved this through proper positioning of bodies, color coordinating for outfits and having everything match the layouts of the ad. It was very tricky but a very exciting challenge to take on.

 On November 15th (this past Friday) I had the opportunity to be the photographer on an incredibly fun photo shoot for the YMCA. These images are some behind the scenes photos from the day.

Free at the beach!

Reminiscing of great times in the summer, this shoot captures the feeling perfectly.  Free and fun at the beach.  I took a few girls out and just gave them a little direction and really worked on just capturing what happened.  It was me and my camera and 3 girls and some props.  We had great fun and captured some simple shots.  I ran into one of the girls this week and she asked if we could go out and do it again. I thought that was a true testament to a happy shoot!
