Brand Sessions with Holly Shelowitz

Holly Shelowitz came to me needing new images for her website and the many workshops and talks she gives in the Hudson Valley.

It was time to dig in. She has many facets to her business, so we landed on a concept with different locations, and even a different season so that we could tap into the natural beauty of the Catskills. The result would be an image library that she could pull from for a couple of years. Our locations were The Woods, A Farmer’s Market, and In The Kitchen. To me, this feels like Personal Branding at it’s best.

We began at the Kingston Farmers’ Market and I loved her light blue sweater against the rich tones of summer produce. Yes, even though she’s a natural woman, we dialed in a solid plan for hair/makeup/wardrobe. These details really make the image, and can be consistent or switched up throughout the image creation.

Back in the late ‘90’s I was working on independent films in NYC on set as a Stills Photographer. The pay was low the hours were long and the crews were amazing. Highly skilled professionals just making shit work. It was a blast. And you’ve never heard of most of the movies I was on. With non union sets, they could pull a still photographer for a day here and there with no commitment, so if someone of note was expected for a cameo, they’d need stills. This day was star studded and I knew about André as well as anyone who ever picked up a fashion magazine in the ‘80s or ‘90s. It was clear that he brought his own wardrobe, as he swept onto set wearing a white fur coat with a train. For a dinner scene. André Leon Talley would have been 76 today. ✨#setlife #independentfilm #productionstill

How about this crew!? I’m loving my time in the orchard shooting Magic Hour Portraits this past month. If you are thinking about a session, call me. I will encourage you to document yourself in this moment. Use it as a chance to stop and enjoy life right now.

Yes I want you to look good, but I’m always digging for something deeper in a portrait session. This made me smile. #seniorsession #woodstockny #redhookny #catskills #husdonvalley
