Last Thursday my friends Dustin and Michelle and I set out on an overly ambitious task… and passed with flying colors! Our goal was to photograph my entire portfolio of woodwork BUT we wanted to photograph it as a catalog. Since (to my knowledge) none of us have really spent any time with product photography and all of the things that go along with it, I would say that our approach was rather haphazard (grabbing my many large and small wooden pieces, throwing them in the back of Dustin’s truck and shooting off to our two locations, locations we had never actually seen). But Michelle really stepped up to bat when I asked her to do this project and the three of us were able to pull off a relatively painless experience. I’m pretty excited about this project, especially as it enters it’s next phase of collaboration in the capable hands of our friend and incredible designer Colin Snow.
I’m so excited that I’ll probably post a few picture’s even though I SHOULD wait until the book is finished and my show opens (May 24!). Who knows. Maybe I will, maybe I won’t.
P.S. Though I wish the above photograph was featuring my work… it’s not. It’s Unis with Brooklyn’s Sit and Read Furniture. Pretty cool, it freature’s handpicked vintage chairs that have been reupholstered by the left over fabrics from Unis’ Spring Summer 2010 collection. What a killer idea! I found this this morning on … where else… Selectism.com of course.
