I had a lot of fun shooting this comedy showcase for the news. Comedian <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0811746/" target="_blank">Barry Sobel</a> may not be be as well known as Chris Rock or Louie CK, but he's been acting and telling jokes in movies and television since the 1980's. He's the kind of comedian that other comedians go see (which is one of the highest honors for a comedian). He's also incredibly cool and gracious! When I arranged to photograph his set, he said I could shoot ON the stage, if I wanted! What?!? Yeah, he said to shoot anywhere, even on the stage to get a great shot of him and the crowd together. <br />
<br />
Now, I'm not one to stand on a stage during a performance, but the venue had a little nook at the back of the stage for actors to wait and hide behind. Using that spot, I think I captured the event pretty well. It's a nice change from the average comedy show image!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94249680975972493.post-72879534754529705272015-07-19T11:07:00.005-07:002015-07-19T11:07:53.261-07:00Some Senior Fun!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had a lot of fun photographing the cover and main feature photos for Senior Living recently. I wish I could dance half as well as I can shoot! I've always wanted to be a better dancer... no, simply a dancer of any sort! These seniors know how to party. </div>

It's been a while since I've posted some tear sheets from recent work. I'm still busy shooting every week and I have a ton of images to share. I just don't blog every day, like I used to. Here are some pictures that ran in The Dallas Observer, Dallas Child, and The Dallas Morning News. Oh, and a link to images from the sixth annual HomeGrown Fest concert, including Old 97's and Spoon! </div>

I really enjoyed meeting <b>Marcos Ronquillo</b> after a week of talking to his team, trying to find the best day for our photo shoot. It was actually very overcast, and they were worried it wouldn't be a good day to shoot... but, those are my favorite days! We met at the <b>D Magazine</b> offices and then headed down to the <i>Trinity River</i>. Marcos, who has boxed in the past, was gracious enough to put on some gloves for the picture. The photo editor suggested the visual, since the story reflects his sparring with other city officials regarding the proposed <b>Trinity tollway</b> - but you can read the current issue of <a href="http://www.dmagazine.com/" target="_blank">D Magazine</a> to find out more on that! </div>

I had the chance to do a portrait of a very special subject last week. Her name is Ana Zamora. When the news called and asked me to take this assignment, I thought it sounded very interesting. Ana, born in Mexico, moved to the United States at one year of age. Now 21 years old, she is a college student, a respected employee at a downtown Dallas business, and just about the nicest person I've met all year. She's exactly what you think of when the idea of "model citizen" comes to mind. But, that's the catch... she's not a legal US citizen, because her parents didn't legally immigrate to the country. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The story in the paper talks about her invitation to sit with the first lady during president Obama's state of the union speech. It mentions how people like Ana are a shining example of the president's initiative to help families like Ana's stay in the US. I think she was a great choice to exemplify the matter. The follow-up story that ran a few days later used a smaller version of the same image, cropped in tight. It talks about the cold reception Obama's remarks gathered. It's quite a shame, because anyone who spent some time with Ana would clearly see how vital people like her are to this country. Hopefully, more people will get behind this cause. </div>

I'm so sorry for not updating my blog sooner. I can't believe I let it go for months. That is pretty shameful. I have been pretty busy with shoots. When I'm not shooting, I'm often taking care of the boys or working on a personal project (like slowly restoring a 1973 Mercedes 280c). Gosh, the amount of cool shoots I've done over the las few months could take up a dozen new posts, and maybe I'll dig through my files and post about them soon. In the meantime, here are some Dallas Morning News assignments I've done over the last couple weeks. They include an MLK Day memorial march, a yoga class that incorporates live violin music, and a barbecue "smoke camp" event. Enjoy! </div>

Most people know the charming and always-friendly Dean Fearing for his amazing food, being one of Dallas' best-known and loved celebrity chefs. But, he's also a wizard on the fretboard, heating up his guitar with his group, The Lost Coyote band. I was more than happy to shoot the band's promo photo, which they needed for an issue of Dallas Modern Luxury magazine. I'd photographed him several times now, once for the cover Chefwear's catalog and a few times for PR firms, newspapers, and magazines. Here's how Modern Luxury used my image...</div>

I love working with children! They are an absolute blast to photograph. Maybe it's because I have three little boys of my own. Or, maybe it's just because kids don't try to hide their awe and wonder, which shows in their photos. Either way, it makes shooting at the Perot so much fun! My images are used on all sorts of brochures, billboards, media packets, and websites. It's exciting to see them in each new poster, newsletter, and banner. Every time a new piece comes out, I get excited to see it. </div>

This new brochure was especially great to see, because it is so well done. The card stock is a nice soft, smooth matte, and it has a heavy weight that feels just right to my fingers. The images were used very well and they balance the text perfectly. The design layout is great for a brochure. My scanner really doesn't do it justice... it looks soooo much better in real life. And, the kids! Look at all the learning, the fun, the wonder, the awe, the excitement! I think their faces say it all... the Perot Museum is one of the best places to be in Dallas! </div>

It's always been fun working with <b>Sarah Jaffe</b>. She's a wonderful singer and you can tell she has a great respect for other artists. Having photographed her several times over the years, I've witnessed her growth, becoming more confident in herself and her amazing musical talent. It makes the title of this cover story for the <b>Dallas Observer</b> even more special to me, because I've watched her bloom. <br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This cover shoot popped up last-minute, and we struggled with finding a good location to shoot. I had several ideas, but there just wasn't enough time to implement most of them. Luckily, my friend <b>Danny Balis</b> offered up <b>Twilite Lounge</b> in <b>Deep Ellum</b>. I'd been to his bar before, and I knew it was full of character... but, you never know how a location is going to jive with your subject until you see them there on location. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't know if it was luck or karma... or, maybe it was just Sarah's impeccable style, but her hair, make-up, and clothing fit Danny's bar perfectly! This was a good thing, because there was no budget for a stylist or make-up artist on this last-minute shoot - we HAD to run with whatever Sarah brought in with her. <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It only took an hour to shoot everything we needed. Definitely one of the easier cover shoots I've done! I love the way her floral print shirt makes it look like she's blooming from this lush, green jungle. The green background really makes her pop! <br />
<br />
She joked that the angle of the cover photo makes her hand appear smaller than real life, but it's designed to help accentuate her face and draw the viewer in to her eyes... magnifying their gaze. Besides, who wants to magnify their hands in a picture? You can compare it to the picture that ran inside with the story (posted below), and see how much different a slight perspective change can feel. Add in the red background and dramatic lighting, and the image carries a MUCH different tone! We kept the same shirt, so it could contrast with red wallpaper. I love that shirt!</div>

As an editorial photographer based in Dallas, TX, I get to meet a lot of interesting people and shoot for a lot of great magazines! I always love the D Magazine "Best Of" issue, because it's crammed full of cool people and places throughout the Big D area. Here's my contribution to the 2014 issue. As a bonus, you'll get to see how I provided my original image, and how it was cropped, adjusted, and added to the pages layout to create the final product. </div>

One of the advantages of working with such a fun, amazing client is that I get to join in on the fun! I took my three boys to the Build It Garage exhibit at the Perot Museum in Dallas yesterday, and they had a blast! Our car was the fastest around, and it didn't lose a single race. We probably raced it a couple dozen times, and it constantly won by at a car length each time! The boys tried building other cars and rockets, too. It was a blast! </div>

I love it when my photos show up in a half page advertisement! Especially, when it's something fun like these children racing little wooden cars at The Perot Museum in Dallas! This place is so much fun, I wanted to put down the camera and build my own little pinewood derby car. </div>

With the Mayor's Convention happening in Dallas this year, mayors from all around the country will be in North Texas. As part of the conference, they'll be shuttled around the city to see what Dallas has been doing right. One of the most popular advertising/PR campaigns for the city has been the recent "<a href="http://www.visitdallas.com/big/" target="_blank">Big Things Happen Here</a>" push, with tons of people participating on Instagram and Facebook. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The campaign has also included billboards, newspaper ads, television spots, as well as cards and brochures like the one above. I'm so excited one of my photos was used as part of the campaign! It's great how the city is pulling together like this! Now, if they'd just use one of my pics for a bus or billboard spot... that would be even better!</div>

It was a lot of fun getting the chance to photograph <b>Dallas</b> musician <b>Sudie</b> for the <b>Dallas Observer</b> cover recently. I was worried the weather wasn't going to cooperate, as it looked like some heavy rain was going to come down that morning. Luckily, the bad weather cleared away right before we started shooting at <b>White Rock Lake</b>. </div>

I'm not sure how obvious some of the filming and editing techniques are, but you'll notice the scenes of the random people hugging are all shot with a very low-fi look to them, like friends were filming them with an iphone or something. Contrast that to the smoother, higher quality look of the band playing, and it helps tell the story better, in my opinion. What are your thoughts? By the way, the song is pretty great, isn't it?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-94249680975972493.post-70526890425288592402014-04-11T11:25:00.003-07:002014-04-11T11:25:53.607-07:00North Texas Food Bank Photos...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, I've been pretty busy with clients, and I've neglected my blog for the last month. I know that's terrible for my website's SEO, but what could I do?!? I was slammed with shoots for clients, scheduling tax return stuff with my accountant, planning and shooting another music video for a Houston band, and regular life stuff with my three boys. I'll try to play catch-up and share some of my recent work, so here's one of the fun shoots I did in March. </div>

Here's a sample of images I shot of the 15th annual Empty Bowls fundraiser at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, TX, for the Dallas Morning News. It's a wonderful fundraiser that draws hundreds of people and some of the area's best restaurants and caterers... not to mention, it ultimately helps feed North Texas residents in need. I love working on projects like this! </div>

I was clicking links tonight while surfing the web, and one of the pages I came across was of fellow Dallasite and concert photographer Mike Brooks. While looking through a few of his images, I noticed a band that one of my friends plays in. Then, the venue caught my eye as being very familiar. Then, a hand holding a very distinctive Canon camera with an orange gel on the flash stuck out at me. That's me! Well, at least it's my camera and hand! These images were copied directly from Mike's website, so, if you would like to see more of his work and a larger version of my hand, go visit him here: </div>

I had a lot of fun photographing the one and only Spinderella of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt-n-Pepa" target="_blank">Salt-n-Pepa</a> fame. She was just as gorgeous as she was back in the early nineties, like she hadn't aged a day! And, talk about nice... she was the sweetest person I've photographed in a while! I hope you enjoy the cover and story photos from the Dallas Observer as much as I enjoyed taking them...</div>

I don't do many public selfie photos, maybe a couple on my personal facebook page (sorry, but I won't add you) and one or two on my Instagram feed (found @janikphoto). But, I do like sharing pictures of me that others have taken. Here's one from last Thanksgiving that my 5-year-old son took. I think he did a great job behind the lens, as he captured me behind my lens!

If you pick up the new issue of D Magazine (the one with Tony Dorsett on the cover), you'll want to turn to page 32. It might not be my craziest, wildest, most energetic photo to date, but that's the point of this story...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, I had an assignment to photograph a travel agent-turned author-turned playwright. He sounded interesting, and he turned out to be a super-nice guy! It was a fun shoot, but I could tell he wasn't going to try any of my regular "hanging from the chandelier and screaming" type of photos. He was a cool guy, but not crazy like my rock and roll subjects. So, I shot the images with some energy in his smile, let his eyes pull you in and used his environment to tell the story. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
I knew that I took a nice image, but I left feeling down on myself. Should I have pushed him and gone wild? It wouldn't have been an honest photo then... and, that's a big thing for me. I always try to capture the honesty of people when I shoot them. I may push their boundaries to add some energy to an image, but I'll never lie in a photo. But, still... D Magazine is a place that allows images to really pop off a page. They have amazing art directors and wonderful visuals every month. Did I let myself down by not really pushing hard on this shoot? </div>

Then the issue came to my mailbox this weekend. I was almost dreading it. I had worked it up in my mind over the last month, to the point that I was sure the image would just plain suck! Not so. I turned to page 32 and saw it. Sure, it isn't the piece that I'll be remembered by when I die, but it's a "real" photo. After reading the story, I realized that sticking with my heart was the correct thing to do. Had I forced my subject to be overly wild and crazy, the image wouldn't have been honest. It wouldn't have fit the story. He's a great, straight-forward, engaging guy and the image needed to reflect that. <br />
<br />
I guess it just goes to show: Don't fear any photograph, just because it's not over-the-top. If you captured honesty and reality, the image will stand on its own. It also shows how neurotic artists can get!

Well, another year of <b>photography</b> comes to an end. <b>2013</b> was a good year for photos, and I thought I'd share my final <b>cover photo</b> of the year - another <b>Dallas Observer</b> issue. I'll have a couple more <b>images</b> printed in the <b>Dallas Morning News</b> before the new year begins, and I'm sure I'll have corporate clients using some <b>pictures</b> for their end-of-year marketing plans... but, there's nothing quite like seeing your images on the cover of a publication. It's pretty cool driving down the street and seeing a photo you took staring back at you from a newsstand or shop window. Let's hope I'm lucky enough to see many more in 2014! </div>
