Mark Katzman's "Into the Volcano" in the Communication Arts 2012 Annual

From the Communication Arts 2012 Photography Annual – “This short film tells a story about parenting, love and coping with the loss of a child. It highlights a long forgotten photographic process, the oratone, while celebrating the lasting power of photography. The challenge was weaving the threads of the story into a subtle, graceful and elegant film that relies less on facts and more on emotions to carry the message. By combining abstract and evocative moving images with the narrative, the piece takes on the qualities of a visual poem rather than a documentary.” – Communication Arts 387. 

Special Thanks to everyone involved, especially Tom and the Townsend family for allowing me to make the film.   www.markkatzman.com

"The technical part is not really the challenging part. At a certain point, we should all be proficient technically. I’ve since gotten back into the meat of the work. I show my creativity by focusing on making the everyday look amazing. The challenge in lifestyle is to take the everyday and turn it into something people will say “wow” to. I’m enjoying this part of the process." -- Shaun Fenn

Carl Tremblay shoots Lori Bruno & Christian Day for American Airlines Mag

Carl Tremblay ventured to Salem, MA to photograph Lori Bruno & Christian Day for American Way magazine.    They two are not wearing Halloween costumes, rather this is the daily wear that they proudly adorn in Day's Salem store, Hex - Old World Witchery.  

The shoot proved to be an interesting one on many levels.  While Carl didn't have to ask them to "get into character", it was a bit of a challenge trying to get them to ride tamdem through the graveyard with those robes!  Finding balance, Carl was able to get the shot below, as well as some great portraits of the "witch" & the "warlock" of Salem.
