Sometime last spring I spent some time shooting photos of my buddy Andrew McMahon from Jack’s Mannequin while my good friend Douglas Sonders shot a feature of him for Alternative Press at Wolf Trap in Vienna, VA. I never really posted the photos anywhere because we didn’t want to give away the location of the shoot before it went to press. The magazine has long been out so I guess its a good time to post a few of my favorites from the day that I took! It was an absolutely perfect afternoon in Vienna and we spent the day shooting photos, hanging out and relaxing around the venue. Later that night Jack’s Mannequin played an awesome set, as always! Enjoy the photos below and click to see them full size!

Check out this incredible photo by a gentleman named Ed Freeman of a delightfully neglected sign for the El Morocco Hotel, which is surely a place of the past. A quick search for Ed Freeman photo came up with hundreds of results, so I am not too sure who is who, but if you want to see some more of his work you can check out his tumblr page, HERE. If you have any further info, or you actually are the elusive Ed Freman, please leave a comment!

Max McCartney is Two!

Even as I type this I cannot believe that my little man is two years old today, time really does fly when you are a parent. It seems like not too long ago Kailee and I were eating gallons of ice cream in the kitchen, waiting for Max to be born, now I find myself two years later in the kitchen eating ice cream WITH Max. So I figured, what better day than today to post photos of Max growing up! Below you can see a photo of Max from each month since he was born!

Today doesn’t happen often…

Well, as the title says, today something happened that doesn’t happen too often, but every once in a while the stars align and it all just works out. You may think I am talking about this year being a leap year, and more importantly, today being February 29th… but I am not. The event I am speaking of is the act of a gentleman having a photo of mine tattooed on his forearm. There really isn’t much else I can say other than, I am flattered and that my offer is now on the table to pay to have my logo tattooed underneath what you got. I can be reached at joe@shootjoec.com

Canibeat X ShootJoeC

As many of you may have already noticed from following my Twitter and Facebook fan page, I have been doing a bit of work with my good friends over at canibeat. We packed up all of our goodies and headed to San Francisco for the 2012 Wekfest show at Fort Mason on February 19th, but were able to squeeze in a ton of other awesome activities on the four days leading up to the show. As you may have seen in my previous post, we are working on the launch of a new project, canibeat TV, so while we were on the West Coast we took some time to interview some of the heaviest hitters in the game, including Mark Arcenal from Fatlace/Illest, the guys from Weksos, Brian from Rotiform, Matt Crane from AWOL.tv to name a few.

Among all of the other things we did while in San Francisco was actually attending Wekfest, as well as having a booth in what I think was the best spot in the entire show. Since I was filming for canibeat TV and already had my camera on hand I figured I may as well take a few photos around the show. Well, I ended up with a ton of photos and canibeat asked me if I would like to write a bit for a feature and share all of my photos, so I obliged! You can see my full feature on canibeat, as well as over one hundred of my favorite photos from the show, by clicking HERE.

As some of you may already know, I am headed with the canibeat crew to San Fransisco for Wekfest, and am currently on my way via Virgin America! First off, I have to address how cool it is that I can get on the Internet on here and text on my phone, insane! Anyway, Wekfest is on Sunday so we have the next several days to just hang out and relax, catch some fun stuff, do some shopping and film a bit around town.

Canibeat will be releasing a new shirt on Sunday at Wekfest, one of my favorite shirts so far, in fact I am wearing one right now! Earlier in the week we shot all of the new shirts for the look book and ended up using me as the model, its definitely interesting being on the other side of the camera but I am very happy with the outcome. The photos were all shot at my home studio, using an AB400 strobe with 7″ reflector and AB800 with large octobox against a 9′ black seamless. You can check out the rest of the photos and the other parts of the look book that I was behind the camera for by clicking, HERE.

 

Backdrop Video

Today when I got to the location to shoot I had a few extra minutes so I decided to set up my camera first and film myself setting up the backdrop stand and lights. Below you can see a time lapse of that video, complete with one of my favorite artists, Yann Tiersen. Check it out and let me know what you think! You can purchase the backdrop stand in the video by clicking, HERE.

Lets be honest, every person who is reading this has had a dream related to food, am I right? Well prepare to be face to face with that dream, a monster sandwich from Taylor Gourmet with everything anyone could ever want. This sandwich isn’t one they actually offer, but rather a photo of almost everything they offer on a single sandwich, to be used for a super cool marketing piece that I will share with you at a later date. While you anxiously await the final product of this delicious beast you can head on down to one of Taylor Gourmet’s four locations, which you can find out more about HERE.

ONA Bagged

Today while I was out in DC shooting some new stuff for my friends at Taylor Gourmet I needed a test subject and my trusty ONA bag was sitting nearby so here you go! Its a little rough around the edges but I figured a shot right out of the camera would be just fine. The lighting setup seen here isĀ  one AB800 directly behind me with a large softbox and one AB400 pointing behind the bag with a 7″ reflector. The bag shown is the Union Street, which you can pick up for yourself by heading over to their site, HERE.

It has been a few days since the look book went live on shopcib.com so what better time than now to get some feedback! I posted a few days back about the awesome day that Roy, Cristian, Kaela and I had in North East DC on a balmy Sunday, so check that out if you haven’t already by clicking, HERE. Now that the look book is live I would like some feedback from my readers and fellow photographers so let me have it guys, what are you thoughts on these natural light photos of Kaela? Check out the full set (and maybe even some photos of me in the look book) by clicking, HERE.
