Lauren LaPenna - Food Styling

The more into the world of photography and design I am, the more I realize how much your network of friends and colleagues mean for support and for business. My friend Lauren, a food stylist, wanted to launch her first website to promote her work. Andrew Russo, friend of Lauren's, made her beautiful logo and I did the design/html for site. Lauren's gorgeous styling is what makes the site pop. The fact that people come together for each other in this community, which happens more than you realize, makes me feel good to be a part of it.

Good Advice

Two Day Photoshop Workshop

I took a trip back to RIT for the weekend to teach a two day workshop on Photoshop technique to the employees of ETC Photographic Studio. It was great to see everyone again and I even learned a couple new tricks in the process of teaching the techniques I know!

Family Portraits

I had a lot of fun today photographing this family in their home. We did a variety of photos, from the more conventional family portrait to some casual shots like the mother daughter ones below.

Inspiration/Friends in the Business

Here are a handful of the people I know or have worked with in photography. I went to college, took classes and worked with these photographers and it has undoubtedly shaped how I see and what I do. This definitely isn't everyone that I've encountered but it's a few who are also in the NYC area now.
