Photo Shoot: Larry's Collection - Amalgamator

For the Winter edition of the Incisal Edge, the ONLY magazine dental professionals should read, EVER, I had the "opportunity" to shoot the lastest photo for Larry's Collection. Now, I know I'm not from New York, but I think it turned out pretty good.

This article is based on the dental equipment that Larry Cohen (Chairman of Benco Dental) has collected over the years. I can honestly say, a lot of the old equipment is actually pretty cool and quite terrifying. Some of the pieces in his collection are the reason people are scared shitless of the dentist. Thankfully, the Amalgamator wasn't that scary. Hopefully, I'll shoot one of the 1930's drill pieces sometime soon. Yikes.

Anyhow, Here's the product.

Sonic Healthier

Last weekend my good friend Jason's brother, Matt, approached us with a concept for a project. He's currently at Temple studying advertising and needed a mock commercial for his campaign class. The objective: create a "classic" two goofy guys commercial at the Sonic drive-in.

The script (written by Matt) was fun and quick, which worked out well since we basically gave ourselves a two hour window to get this shot, cut and posted. We managed to cruise though the shooting (Canon 7D, 24fps, 1080p,
Tamron 17-55mm f/2.8 lens). Thankfully, the 17mm was just enough to get us both in frame during the wide shot.

Here was the final edit. Enjoy!

Aleah and Anthony

I can't say I've had much experience with kid photos, but this had to be one of my favorite shoots to date. Aleah and Anthony (accompanied by their mother and my good friend Amy) were a blast. We started around 9am at Frances Slocum State Park in Dallas, PA. The leaves and weather were perfect.

However, Aleah was not feeling it. Anthony, on the other hand, was a ham! He was ready for the morning.

I shot with my Canon 7D and the 24-105 L lens with a 580 EXII flash. Don't get me wrong, I brought an entire portable studio with me, but the energy in these two kids didn't leave time for any changes!

Anthony made a few hilarious kid jokes which got his sister out of her shell.
