John Shoots Fashion for Shine Collective

Here's Filmmaker Drury Bynum's Artist Series Video about me. It was shot during a fashion shoot for local Baltimore Clothing Boutique Shine Collective. I don't normally shoot fashion but it was a lot of fun and creatively refreshing.

When I was starting out as a photo assistant back in the mid/late 90's I worked for a few fashion guys. I lived in New York City on and off for about a year working with a guy who shot a ton of David's Bridal. It was my first introduction to the NYC photo studio world. Really long days, lots of film loading and making sure there were the right tunes in the CD player! Seems like a lifetime ago!

I think I'd be up for more fashion if the opportunity was there.

Video Promo in the Pipeline!

As some may already know, I shot for Shine Collective, a local Baltimore boutique (here) just over a week ago and it was a huge success. We are planning to show my new promo video that was shot during the the Shine shoot along with a few prints of the photo stills on May 29th at my studio at 3500 Parkdale Ave, 2nd fl., Suite R. The video includes a short interview with me and is sure to be a fun time for all. Thanks for bringing the mad creative skills Dru and Jamie (here) and jamie for the amazing styling (see Shine Above)! I also want to thank Drew, my assistant, and Lea, our wonderful Make-up artist!

Check back here for the opening time. It will probably be around 6:30pm. Our beautiful twin models Zoe and Esther, Recent Johns Hopkins Graduates!, should be in attendance so come out and congratulate them!

We are all Photographers: NYPH 09



Wasn't at the NY Photo Festival on Sunday so I didn't get to see the projections in person but here are a couple that NYPH sent to me via email. At least they figured out a way to document it! It was called "We Are All Photographers Now" and anyone could submit an unlimited number of images (FOR FREE!!!) to be projected during the 2nd annual 09 New York Photo Festival. I submitted about 5 images just a few days before I went up to the Festival. Hopefully lots of photo buyers were there just waiting to see my images glide across the screen and they're just giving me time to recoup from my 4 days in NYC before they all starting to offer me my dream jobs!
