Spectacular Images for Worthy Causes
By Claire Semnacher
Hunter Freeman recently shot a campaign for the San Francisco Zoo to help with fund raising. Donations from independent supporters during these tough economic times are scarce, and big companies are likely more able to give sizable donations. The images are comic relief for a dire situation and help bring attention to the zoo’s need to raise money. If you would like to make a donation, please visit http://www.sfzoo.org/donate.
Teri Studios created a cookbook called Small Fries: A Kid's Cookbook with the purpose of raising awareness and funding for the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. The book was created by kids, for kids, to help kids! Children shared their favorite recipes and are accompanied by photos of the dishes taken by Teri Campbell. The book also informs children about healthy nutrition and provides instructions for fun activities.

Photographer Dana Hursey: Unadulterated Ecstasy

The last shot from our most recent test was inspired by trying to add a bit of a twist to what would otherwise be a standard beauty shot. I have always enjoyed shooting this kind of work ever since my early days when I was studio managing for a fashion / beauty photographer in Los Angeles. But in trying to keep it in the direction of our current work, it needed to be more than simply a beauty shot. So, toss in a little humor and commentary and presto....
Since I was nervous about having actual needles on the model's skin (and strangely enough I seemed to be the only one...) we shot them slightly away and then composited a variety of hand positions to create the final image.
The wonderful retouching was again done by Lisa Carney.
