Bite – Texas Monthly ‘Road Food’ outtakes

I was shooting some food for Texas Monthly last week and decided to give them some extra options. Poor Lindsay from The Butler Brothers stopped by to pick up some prints and ended up with a giant camera in her face. I pretty much grabbed any poor soul that wandered into my studio and exploited them. Here are the exploits.

 

 

New Work – Bluetooth, ‘Come Together’

Super rad art director Larry Williams asked me to illustrate the phrase ‘Come Together’ for Bluetooth.  We brainstormed a bit and came up with this idea.  I had a week to pull it off and only one day without rain!  Here it is….

New Work – Graphic Food Pairings

Robin Finlay wanted to make some food photos.  I wanted to make some graphic photos.  We both wanted to make a mess and see if we could get mustard on the ceiling.  The studio smelled like maple syrup for days.
These images are based on a photo of gelato and a cone that we made for our ‘Iced Treats’ projects.  We built on that pairing and decided to include it in this small portfolio.  The project is posted at www.voorhes.com/load-foodpair.html

Splish Splash

A while back I was doing a splash shot for a client.  When we finished I decided to goof off a bit and made these photos.  I like them a lot, but I haven’t known what to do with them so here they are.

Yard Work in 3D

I’ve been working on a garden.  Unfortunately the people who previously owned my house were going for the dirt-lot look.  Before I could get started on laying out the landscape and building garden beds I had to clear out half a dozen stumps, half a trillion weeds, and clean up the trees.  Not to mention shards of glass, rusty nails, and many an M.I.A. plastic army man.  After spending weekend after weekend staring at roots and clods of dirt they started taking on personality.  I brought a couple of my favorites into the studio to play with.

At the same time I was experimenting with stereoscopic photography.  Anaglyphs (red cyan) aren’t the best medium for communicating rich colors, but they are a common and easy way to view 3D images.  I’ve presented these and a few others on my website in this format.  So if you have some 3D glasses take a peek.
