Fellow photographer Jeff Noble, brought me in on another baxternoble.com collaboration, along with creative director Skz of Revolution Agency. The assignment was to photograph a custom-designed dining table, against the backdrop of an upscale condo in downtown Phoenix. In typical fashion, we had a great time working together and building the shot frame by frame.
I was recently contacted by Agnieszka Jastrzebska, master architect at AJ Design Studio. She has designed some of the Valley’s custom luxury homes in collaboration with builder Tom Argue. We met to discuss photography of several of her latest designs. As it turns out, I had previously photographed some of her work, as seen below.
I finally took the plunge into QuickTime VR, following a call from fellow photographer John Covington at JC Studios. His idea was to collaborate on an upcoming project, involving a virtual tour inside a car. We learned the right and wrong way to do it, spending over 60 hours for the final demo. The interior view is compatible with iPad, resulting in a full virtual experience that rotates as the viewer moves the iPad around. The exterior view allows the viewer to rotate the vehicle, while zooming in on detail. We plan to implement the technology on an upcoming project.
I was recently contacted by Alison A. Melnychenko, Vice President, Marketing for Commercial Real Estate firm Cassidy Turley Arizona. The assignment was to photograph the 101 at Broadway, a large retail, industrial, and manufacturing park. Even though the project didn’t require any night shots, I used a variety of equipment for capturing both elevated and panoramic images.
Any time I can work with my distinguished colleague, Jeff Noble, it’s a fun shoot! This time we were on location at Hyatt Regency Scottsdale (Gainy Ranch), for a group portrait. The number of people was initially unknown, but continued to grow as Jeff and I set up our gear. By the time we were ready to shoot, there must have been well over 50 people. The image was captured as part of the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the newly-redesigned water slide.
