July 2008, DC Magazine



Had a couple of good assignments from DC Magazine for the July issue. It was kind of a hectic month for DC- they were transitioning from one photo editor (Forrest Stillin) to another (Jeff Millies), and as a result seemed like there were some last minute changes to the issue before printing. In any case, here's the first assignment:



This is Krista Johnson (left), with Judy Mayka and Thalia Attinger. They own and run a boutique on Wisconsin Ave in DC called "We One You Two". The focus was on Krista as she was the one interviewed for the piece. I was really happy with a lot of the shots, it's a shame it ended up running somewhat small. (They also cropped the hell out of it to make room for copy, which is always disappointing). Here's another shot of Krista that I really liked:



The boutique had lots of white walls and a really open sort of structure, so there was a lot of flexibility and control for lighting.

The other assignment was David Fogel of "Space 88":



Space 88 is a small business incubator space located in Silver Spring, Maryland. Small companies or individuals with small businesses can rent the space and it's amenities (including work stations, a conference room, a multimedia studio, and a lounge) for a relatively small monthly fee. They ended up going with something else instead, using a shot that was less about David and more about the space, but I still really like this shot of him.
