Handsome Ransom

I just found this the other day.  It’s a story that I shot about two years ago for Patek Phillipe Magazine, based in Europe.  The story is on E. R. Butler & Co., makers of antique hardware, and how they make antique doorknobs.  I did all of the product shots (not the lifestyle pics).  I shot on location with my 4×5 and a Leaf back with Profoto strobes.  The warehouse is one of the coolest buildings I’ve been in (as you can see in the story).  I’d love to go back and shoot again someday.

Here’s the main image, in case you don’t want to download the entire story.

Today an image of mine is being featured on the Slate Gray Media blog.  Each of the members contribute one image a week, and the results are posted daily.  Check it out (here).  This is an outtake that I shot for my portfolio when I was working on a project for Dean & Deluca, but it ended up being one of my favorite images.
