ART & SCIENCE

A shoot we did for these massive chromatography machines.
Chromatography you ask?

Chromatography is a physical method of separation in which
the components to be separated are distributed between two phases,
one of which is stationary (stationary phase)
while the other (the mobile phase) moves in a definite direction.
(thanks Wikipedia!)

We didn’t have to understand how to use these machines, (thankfully!)
we just needed Michael’s expertise with lighting to make them glow.

BREAKFAST IN BED… BOY IS HE DREAMING!


Hard work for the models at Indresano Studio today.

Our producer  did work hard though,
to make it look like a believable bedroom.

This bed is made of plywood on saw horses.
It only has to look comfortable!

ICE CREAM AND CAKE

Watch our little video slideshow:

Behind the scenes,
working with Cliff Freeman, Baksin Robbins and Curious Pictures
making the Ice Cream & Cake stills for…

a 15 second stop-motion animation commercial
produced by Curious Pictures (NY).

O YA, OH YEAH!

Michael Indresano

Boston’s award winning Japanese restaurant and sushi bar.”O Ya was named #1 New Restaurant in United States
in 2008 by the New York Times,
World’s 10 Best New Restaurants of the Year by Food & Wine
and deemed “Transcendental” by CNN Money
among other #1 and top ten ratings.”

Michael shot the portrait of the owners, Nancy & Tim.

It wouldn’t be a restaurant shoot without….
prepping…

 

cooking…and eating!

Final Spread Images:

 

OCD SELF-PROMOTION CAMPAIGN #4:DINNER PARTY

Our latest shot for our Self-Promotion Campaign with Fort Franklin.

When Michael has a dinner party, every pea is in place!

A pyramid of peas is not a naturally occurring event.
Glue, paint, and cardboard…

 

Stylist Tui Stark from Ennis finessing the peas

Our bookkeeper (turned model) Christine Stern
and copywriter Phil Henson keeping it fun.

 

Art Director Keith Manning with Photographer Michael Indresano
evaluating and making adjustments to the shot.

Fort Franklin’s Account Manager Sean Young
and Christine, practicing their amazement
and amusement expressions with the precision peas.

 

Wouldn’t you love to dig in

now that you know about the cardboard center
(good thing for the wine to wash it down!)

BRRRRR…..BEACON HILL ROOFTOP IN JANUARY

Stylist Courtney Kilmartin laying sod and arranging plants,
making spring arrive in the freezing cold.

Cindy’s back, time to get to work!

 

Joel braving the cold to set up the perfect lighting
Mike carrying equipment up and down, up and down,
at least four, …maybe five, flights of stairs. 

Beautiful portrait of Mike (nice job Michele!). 

At least we can pretend it is a warm sunny afternoon with cocktails
(red dye and water, yum!).

 

No Cindy, you can’t thaw out with a hot bath, time to go!
