Most of you don’t know that I actually went to school for commercial photography! We would work in the studio day in and day out photographing “things.” I had a really hard time with this and I realized it is because there is a key ingredient missing when you are photographing “things” in a studio; EMOTION! I can photograph landscapes because there is emotion in the earth. The trees, grass, flowers, and the passing bird are pure inspiration! Once in a while I get asked to photograph a product and I usually turn it down. This time, I was happy to volunteer. Do you remember a while back I posted about Skoy? I ran into a friend of mine at the earth day festival, took a few pics and did a little post about this amazing product. Well Karen, one of the founders, needed some more photos and I was happy to oblige 🙂 You will notice the “Susie Spin” on these however 🙂 I had a little fun incorporating the other things in my house in order to give it a little excitement..or emotion, if you will 🙂
Here are a few of these photos. Please check out the website and purchase some of these bad boys. They are 100% biodegradable and completely replace paper towels!!!
Tomorrow I am doing another commercial shoot for Ceremony Magazine. The product I am photographing was provided by local vendors, so I can pull some emotion from that 🙂 You’ll have to stay tuned for the new issue of Ceremony 2009 to view those photos 🙂
