Fresh Fruit

Recently shot some fruit and then made mutant versions of them in Photoshop, ads for a cancer drug. Finals with type will be on my web site in "awhile." Wanted to show one of them off while they're still fresh. Was a fun project, finding fresh strawberries in April in Boston was a challenge though. With the client's deadline, we were a few weeks early for peak season. Actually found a food stylist in LA to pick some for us, even then was tough to find our hero strawberry with fresh looking green leafy tops. Had literally hundreds of strawberries in the studio, smelled like a fruit stand for a few days. I think we fared pretty well with these two. The mutant version below is a combination of a 3 different strawberries.

These are from an editorial project I recently completed, options for the cover image. The magazine isn't out yet so I'm keeping details mum for now. Except to say was a lot of fun, and using a jig saw to cut frozen meat is not a good idea.

A friend stopped by the studio while we were figuring out how to pull a vacuum over the 10 forms. He's a retired Orthopedic Surgeon, remarked that my job seemed like a lot more fun than listening to people complain about back pain... I pointed out it probably doesn't pay as well, but made me realize that, yeah, I do have a good job.
