Photographer shooting sculptures

In the Studio with the Photographer

On December 16, my friend Tomasz Howard — a wonderful photographer — came to the studio to photograph my two newest sculptures. For me, having my sculptures professionally photographed is akin to preparing them for their “coming out party”; they’re ready to meet the world!

As we were packing up after the shoot, I placed the sculptures side by side on my work table. Tomasz, always attuned to potential cool setups to photograph, grabbed his camera for a few informal pictures. He played around with lighting, then excitedly began shooting furiously. He was so animated that I couldn’t resist getting a shot of him!

Incidentally, before Tomasz arrived, I noticed a long crack (it’s called a “check” by the way) in the wood. If you’ve been following this blog, you know this is something that has to be done sometimes. Here’s me in the process of filling the check. I’m looking forward to showing you professional photos of both sculptures. Stay tuned!
