Pierson Studios-Contemporary Children Photography

update

The video I'm working on ran into some software glitches that is so frustrating I could scream, (actually, I did). But after making some upgrades, I think it's back on track. There is so much that goes into creating a video that involves everything that still photography needs and adds 10 fold complexity. Lighting, motion, color, props and of course the content and story of the actors. These two kids really are friends which makes it a bit easier and there is no dialog which also takes out a layer of difficulty, but scenes still had to be done over and over because the camera man was inexperienced. :).

Here's another still from the movie.

video

I have been working on the "Friends" video for weeks. It's a lot harder and takes longer than I expected, but I'm trying to do it at the same time I'm doing other jobs too. It's a 5 minutes story about 2 friends and how one had to leave. Here's a still capture from the video. So stayed tuned for the finished piece!

I hope your kitchen doesn't look like this!

This one looked much better before we showed up to transform it. Guess how much time went into this shot. The answer is 22 hours. But it looks pretty cool, doesn't it? I had some awesome kids, dogs and thanks to Saint Joseph Cabinetry in Yorkville for supplying their beautiful kitchen as a set. This is part of a body of work for my commercial portfolio. You can see the behind the scenes video right here.

Recent work

I think I posted some from this shoot but I wanted to share some more. I also noticed I hadn't posted in a week or gotten a newsletter out in many weeks. It's been very busy for good reasons. I am getting more into advertising and high end catalog work and I'm very excited about it, but it is also taking a whole bunch of time. More later.......

Have a great day! 

Irish Dancing

You should see this girl dance. She's amazing and I had the opportunity to photograph her!
