College DAZE revisited

Portraits for College Ad Campaign

A guy named Corey gets the B and W treatment.
An MBA grad student poses in the College Business School Conference Room

looking just like the high powered exec he's gonna be in a year or two.
A surgery MD student, looking at a video presentation of a brain transplant

Not! But he's gonna know where to bleed you in a knife fight.
This grad student is gonna be mixing chemicals in the real world shortly after she gets her Chemistry PhD.

I enjoyed her sense of humor, she sounded like she was from Akron and mentioned she was so not Chinese she didn't even like the food. A business partner of mine, a guy from Beijing, tells me he doesn't know why we like hamburgers- half an hour after eating one, he says he's hungry again.

Wonder what that yellow stuff is anyways...
A guy that was studying to be a laboratory tech I think, or maybe the fund raiser for a stem cell research lab?

Dunno...

BUT I HOPE THEY AND YOU ARE ALL VOTING FOR OBAMA/BIDEN!

This stuff was shot for an ad agency whose client was a University in South Florida called Nova Southeastern.

The college seemed like a very cool place and they practiced what they preached-

the kind of place where you actually practice your future practice!

Now just because the photos are made for commercial use doesn't preclude their processing and use as mini art works, fine commercial photographs, mildly skewed lifestyle, or even something verging on twisted high fashion.

If you shoot with love what you love to shoot, you may just get hired to shoot the same vain. Or is that vain with "e"?

This shoot was originally scheduled for 4 or 5 portraits per day, stretched out to as many as we could humanly pull off. Juiced with generators and/or in wall plugs when we had them, running mostly 4-7 head setups, we jumped to make maybe 8 portraits per day for 3 days running. Started at 4:30AM and finished at 9PM.

A whole lot of shooting fun!
