The Big Apple Circus

The Big Apple circus is back in NYC! We were lucky to join in the fun with a couple of different clients who offered family portraits to their guests!

Deck the Halls (or Your Products!)

Time to gear up for the holiday season! Add a little color to your website, brochures, and other marketing materials. If you need updated product shots, don't hesitate to reach out to us!

A Day In The Life...

What better way to learn than with a hands on experience. In these photos, an interior design student is "shadowing" a high-end New York City Designer for a "day in the life of..." Our photograph had a blast following these woman from fabric stores to the D&D Building...

Product Shoots...

We spent most of last week working on product and portrait shoots in the studio. The surrounding images are a sampling of some of the recent product work!

Something positive on Wall Street!!

Hip-hop pioneer and entrepreneur Russell Simmons is serving as the host of the Race to BE., the signature event of Global Entrepreneurship Week/USA. To kick things off, Simmons rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange last week prior to a press conference announcing details of Race to BE. Longview Photography was on hand to document the entire event from the bell ceremony to the action on the trading floor, and the behind the scenes reception on to the press conference itself...to get details visit http://www.unleashingideas.org/

Interiors

In August we were asked to document an interior design firm's work at a New York hotel that just opened. We headed out with special equipment just for this purpose and took the surrounding shots.

Keepsake Prints

These photos are from a recent event where Longview provided both photography services and onsite printing of keepsake images. At the end of the evening, guests left with a high-quality 5x7 print documenting a special moment from the evening.

Phil Lipof and Michelle Charlesworth hosted the Public Relations Society's 2008 Big Apple Awards. Our photographer captured this photo of them in Rockefeller Center's the Rainbow Room overlooking Central Park and the Upper East Side of Manhattan. They were so thrilled with the result, the aired the image on their Saturday morning ABC news program!

Gilda's Club Annual Gala

This week, Gilda's Club hosted their annual gala at Cipriani 42nd Street in Manhattan. The beautiful affair featured Lance Armstrong, Mort Topfer, Elvis Duran and performances by Rosie's Broadway Kids & Michael Amante. For information on Gilda's Club and the work they do supporting those living with cancer, visit www.gildasclub.org.

Headshots

Lions, Tigers and Snakes, Oh My!

We have taken photos at many "portrait stations", but none quite like this...On Saturday we captured an event's guests with Macaws and 75-pound albino Burmese Pythons named Daphne and Daffodil! Did you know that Macaws live to be 125-years old? We printed these images on-site so that guests could leave with a keepsake of the moment. Priceless!

Fun & Games

Give your staff some water guns and watch the fun beginning! We photograph tons of corporate events, but always love the ones where "management" lets the staff unwind and enjoy! Who wants a group photo with their colleagues? (We see these people everyday!) But add some props and laughs and then, it's a different story...

A Day for Portraits!

Last Thursday we scheduled 8 portrait sessions back-to-back in our studio. It was a hectic day with sessions scheduled 45 minutes apart, but the results were great and our team had a wonderful time working with the subjects to create unique looks that fit their businesses!

We are planning to schedule a monthly "portrait day" where we offer these brief sessions at a discount to our standard $350 rate. If you need an executive portrait and want to be notified of the next "portrait day", please email anne@longviewphotoinc.com. We look forward to working with you!

Last week we photographed a lively reception at Kartell, a furniture/design showroom in SoHo. The event featured an appearance by designer Piero Lissoni, as well as a book-signing by the authors of Ultra Materials: How Materials Innovation is Changing the World.

The Smash Baby...

Gaius Charles, known for his current role as Brian 'Smash' Williams on NBC's Friday Night Lights is currently starring in Lower Ninth, a 70-minute, 3-man play at Tribeca's Flea Theater. Charles plays the part of "E-Z" a kid trapped on a roof in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. For information visit http://www.theflea.org/.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I know, a "Hallmark Holiday", but fun nonetheless :)

XOXO,

Longview

Last minute...

We recieved a last minute call from this couple with a request for photography for their engagement party. A friend who was due to shoot the party had to back out...

It's always a delight to photograph a party when the guests of honor, extended family and friends are appreciative (and fun!) This was certainly the case here...

The bride-to-be is a Nantucket-based artist. Check out her work at www.sagegoldsmith.com. Best wishes for your June wedding, Sage and Hunter!

Accept Performance-enhancing Drugs?

Bob Costas was the moderator for a recent debate that we photographed. The topic was whether steroids should be accepted in professional sports. I was fascinated to see that the 18% of the audience who were "undecided" pre-debate, were "for the motion" by the end. Click Here for the debate transcript.

Brad Bitt? Andy Rooney?

We received a call from this gentleman who needed a headshot for a write-up in CFA Magazine. His one request, "You'll make me look like Brad Pitt, right?" "Um, sure we will!" He arrived, I took one look at him, and thought, "Well maybe Andy Rooney!" Turns out we didn't need much work to accomplish that...between his looks and his voice, people often mistake him for the journalist...

Our new studio...

2007 brought a new studio space to Longview. We are delighted to be able to offer portrait and product photography services in our convenient location near Bryant Park. Of course, we remain happy to come to you for an on-location shoot as well. We hope to hear from you soon!

Belated wishes...

We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and a very happy New Year's!!
