Smoothie Power!

With the change in weather, we thought it was time to get fit and ready for the summer. We started off our beach diet shooting with the great a client to get some healthy and tasty images into their cafes. All of the smoothies were delicious and gave us the energy to power through and create great pictures all day long! See below for a few of the final ads;

Mmmmm Peanut Butter Cookies! The Cookie Monster would be in heaven!

All artists need paint brushes; in this case the canvass is food!

Getting Ready for Summertime Sun

Since spring skipped Boston, we moved straight into summer! Our good friends at BJ’s Wholesale Club asked us to help out with their summer preview member journal and we were ready for a little sunshine in the studio. It was super fun to work with the kids and the team at BJ’s; who wouldn’t want to spend a day at the beach!

These adorable kids from The Model Club are ready for the beach!

This beats going to school! Right?…….

…Well, not when you have to have your haircut! This little guy was a trooper.

Back on the Ice

The Bruins drop the puck tonight to kick off their run for the Stanley Cup, so we wanted to share the photo shoot we did with the Ice Girls. When the NHL lockout ended, we skated into high gear on short notice to get everything ready. Fortunately, we knew the drill as we did the Bruins and Ice Girls team shoot the season before at the TD Garden. Enjoy and Let’s Go Bruins! Boston STRONG!

Looking Tough!

Photo assistant Anthony works the fan for perfect hair flip.

The Ice Girls are proud to wear the Bruins logo on their uniform.

The iPad tethered to the camera was a huge hit! The girls loved seeing the images as they were captured in real time.

Michael knows how to work the poses.

Ready to hit the ice!

We, and the entire city of Boston were happy that the Bruins dropped the puck in 2013!

Brit Gets Stuck on Boston

Recently we were contacted for a photo shoot with the fabulous Brit Morin of Brit +Co and her new partner Velcro Industries. With Brit flying in from San Francisco and the shoot scheduled just days away, we swiftly moved into production with a great crew to create an entire set made of VELCRO® Brand. The shoot went flawlessly and the client was thrilled with the results, as was Brit. Look for her on the Velcro Industries site throughout the year, especially during the 2013 Holidays!

Verne and his assistant were seeing spots by the end of the day!

Ok not everything was made of VELCRO® Brand

Hair and make-up stylist, Jesse Lawson from Anchor Artists came prepared with every powder under the sun.

Here she is…Miss Velcro!

Harlem Shake – Maxi-Cosi Style!

Michael Indresano Photography — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 18:23:28 +0000

We thought we would add our own version of the Harlem Shake meme with a little help from our good friends at Maxi-Cosi. The concept of revealing their newest infant car seat had us shooting many images of the fabric in mid flight. Have a look at the video and final ads below.

Paris to the Carribean and Back

As promised, here is the second installment of the ads we created with our friends at AAA. It was a fun challenge to set-up a pool in sub freezing temperatures, assemble a 1000 piece puzzle and navigate through the crowd at Gillette stadium during a Patriots game. We are always willing to go the extra mile to have a happy and satisfied client at the end of the day!

A first for Michael (right) and Rob, muddying the waters was necessary.

How many assistants does it take to assemble a 1000 piece puzzle? We know!

Coming down the home stretch.

Game day at Foxboro! Last time we were here, it was shooting for the Patriots, this time AAA.

Michael and Rob will go to any lengths (or snow depths) to get the right angle.

The train emptied out and we worked quickly in a race against daylight.

City Lights – Boston Interactive Leadership Photo

Michael Indresano Photography — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 20:10:11 +0000

Our friends at Boston Interactive contacted us to shoot an updated look of their leadership team. After a few creative calls we wanted to do something that reflected their vibrant and fast paced image as well as show they were based in Boston, and more accurately Charlestown. We packed up and headed to Paul Revere Park and spent an afternoon scouting to find the best angle of the Zakim Bridge for the photo. After shooting well into the early evening we made some great images and had a fun time doing it too!

The whole team – Reservoir Dogs style – pack smart phones, not 45′s!

Business never stops, as the team continues to work as we took a quick 5 minute break.

How many Profoto heads would it take to light the Zakim bridge?

Dreaming of a Winter Vacation

Michael Indresano Photography — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 18:21:12 +0000

Now that we have dug ourselves out from the blizzard of 2013 here in Boston, it seems fitting that we start fantasizing about going on a warm vacation. We were contacted by the creative team at AAA to make a series of images that would transform you from the routine of everyday to a place you would rather be. Here are the first two in the series with more to come!

The studio became a playroom for the day!

Earthkeepers for Timberland

Michael Indresano Photography — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:01:00 +0000

We were really blown away with how our client, Timberland, used our photography from a recent shoot in the design of their rustic, moody catalog. Take some time to check out a few pieces from the latest Earthkeepers Collection below; we hope you feel as inspired as we did after this shoot! (Special thanks to Mari Quirk who provided some amazing surfaces for this shoot.)

Check out some behind-the-scenes from this fun photo shoot:

Tui Stark, stylist represented by Ennis Inc., expertly styles the Timberland bomber jacket in preparation for the shot.

The prepped shoes line up by number to take their turn on set with Michael.

Organization is key when shooting so much product in one day. Michael and his team have a highly organized system (especially when dealing with product!) to keep the shoot flowing smoothly and seamlessly every time.

Studio dog Sophia says, “Wait a second, I want in on the action!” Because what shoot is complete without our playful Golden Retriever?
