Identity Design & Photography For Michael Cottone

One of my old homies from back in New York approached me about developing his professional music identity. We started with a photoshoot, we we turned into show posters, business cards, and cover for his demo. Mike is graduating from Eastman Music School, and was just recently featured in the Rochester International Jazz Festival. Check out his music here, and a special audio collaboration, arranged by The Mechanik of GSP and yours truly. The beat is by the infamous Dr. Dre, and the whole tune can be checked out on the FsM MYSPACE page. Stay tuned for more audio collaborations, a new website and more very soon..

Arkansas Climbing Trip Featured In Urban Climber Mag!

After barely having returned from a photography internship and climbing trip in Switzerland and Spain, I decided to embark on another journey, filled with tales of tall unclimbed boulders in the heart of the Ozark Mountains.. Leaving from the homebase in Upstate NY,my buddy Rob and I linked up with some homies in SoILL, and we rocked it to Horsheshoe Canyon Ranch (HCR where we unearthed some amazing boulder problems there. I shot stills the whole two weeks we were there, and pitched the story to Urban Climber. Two Months later they made it a feature story, even showcased me as a contributor with cover mention! Just a few spreads long,(it was a total of 6 pages) notably revealing some sick First Ascents by Jason Kehl, Justin Wood, and Matt Wilder. It was also a great chance to feature my photos nationally, and to practice storyboard layouts for future Projects.

Jewelry Photography Hits The Road

On my second West Coast Trip, I was offered an opportunity to shoot the work of several jewelry designers, all members of what they call the Talisman Collective. Using any combination of wrapping wires and metalsmithing to interlock various precious minerals and gemstone into flowing compositions, they create in ery essence, one of a kind amulets to sell at festivals and galleries nationwide. The most interesting challenge when it came to photograph these pieces was how to handle subtle color changes in gold wire and portray correct gemstone luminance; I learned how to shoot collector watches in Switzerland, but I didn’t have the luxury of a lighting studio on the road.. After a little adaptation, I’m pretty happy with the way the shots came out. Here is just a small sample..
