Brand New Portfolio!

steve — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 00:20:30 +0000

Making a new portfolio to showcase my work has been on my to do list for far too long. The final product was completed just in time for 2 days of meetings in New York via NYC Fotoworks at the end of October. The idea is solely my own but thanks to Nicole Anderson of NA Book Arts, my vision came to life. Key components to the portfolio include leather from Wilson Sporting Goods, (yes, it’s same exact leather that NFL Footballs are made from) synthetic turf from Synthetic Turf International (the specific product I chose is intended for pets) and an Apple iPad.

A short video is below to give readers a sense of presentation. Detailed images follow.

This month I photographed three runners for Runner’s World Marathon Challenge. Runner’s World is helping these athletes train to reach their goals for full and half-marathons.

Kevin Hewitt, age 38, is a Dollar General store manager from Baltimore, Maryland. His current PR is 3:02:37 but is now training for a 3hr marathon. Kevin has been running marathons since 2006. To view more images from Kevin’s shoot, click here.

Joe Lombardi, age 48, has run 12 half-marathons in the past 20 years. Joe is a Marketing manager in New Hope, Pennsylvania. His current PR for a half-marathon is 1:36:30 but he plans to break that by running 1 hour and 30 minutes for his next half-marathon. To view more images from the shoot with Joe Lombardi, click here.

Cherie Hill Lombardo, age 40, is a High School Principal from Woodstown, New Jersey. Her current PR is 5:22 but she is now training to run a 5hr full marathon. Cherie has been running marathons since 2008. To view more images from the shoot with Cherie, click here.

Driving Cross Country

steve — Thu, 27 May 2010 21:23:48 +0000

Last minute, my friend Shawn Corrigan (www.shawncorrigan.com) and I decided to drive cross country after I had a photo shoot in Detriot. Shawn started the drive from Philly, then to Buffalo, cut through Canada and into Detriot, where he picked me up. The first night we stopped in Chicago to visit friends and then decided to go north to avoid a storm. We spent a night in Minneapolis, then muscled our way through North Dakota where we spent the night at a truck stop. The next morning we arrived at Yellowstone National Park. We spent two days in Yellowstone, then drove to Glacier National Park, and spent another two days there. We then stopped by to see our photographer friend, Shanenon (shanenon.com) on the way to spend the night in Boise, Idaho. Lake Tahoe was our next stop where where we visited another friend, Vince (runvmc.com). We stayed out a bit too late that night and I missed my flight from San Francisco to Philadelphia. The next flight flew out of Reno, so I never actually made it to California. I didn’t mind though because it really was an awesome trip.

The photo below was taken at Yellowstone National Park where I was shooting for the Rave Run section of Runner’s World Magazine. To view more images from Yellowstone National Park click here to view the gallery. To see the images from Glacier National Park, click here.

Gatorade REPLAY Season 2

steve — Tue, 04 May 2010 15:35:19 +0000

This year I got the opportunity to shoot REPLAY Season 2 for Gatorade. Last year I shot the REPLAY Season 1 game as well. To view my blog post from last years game, click here.

In this second season, the intense rivalry between the two hockey powerhouses, the Trenton Trojans and the Detroit Catholic Central Shamrocks, gets played out in Detroit. Their rivalry runs deep since the dreaded 1999 season. In their second game, with a 4-4 tie, Trenton Trojans player Kurt La Tarte had his jugular accidently slit open by another player’s skate. This horrific accident almost cost him his life. Both teams ended the game that day in a tie while they prayed for Kurt. Catholic Central became State Champs that year. The Trenton Trojans never recovered from the horrible shake up. Ironically, Catholic Central’s only loss that year was their first match up with Trenton. Although much time has passed, their old wounds have yet to heal. So for REPLAY’s Season 2 event, Catholic Central and Trenton are finally settling the score once and for all. I am fortunate enough to be covering the game this May 9th. To watch the teaser, click here.

Both teams have been practicing and meeting with sport scientists to get ready for the game. To view images from their practice on Gatorade’s flickr page, click here. To join the REPLAY Season 2 Facebook page, click here.

ESPN RISE: Caroline Raymond

On my last assignment for ESPN RISE, I had the opportunity to shoot Caroline Raymond, Downingtown West High School’s girl’s softball superstar. Her opponets fear her for two reasons; she throws a mean pitch and she is a 6-foot senior. Raymond is a Class AAAA All-State first team pitcher. She will be playing for University of Massachusetts Women’s Softball team in the spring of 2011. Check out some tearsheets from the shoot below, but to read the entire article online, click here.
