Update on the fine art prints for Imoto, Palm Beach

My prints for the Palm Beach new restaurant Imoto were due to be finished today, I drove down to Color House in Miami to do one last quality control and two of the three prints looked great. But the third print was a little off (they caught the mistake before I got there but this is why you have to check over everything you do) they had already started removing it from the plexi mounting. There is a  reason they tell you it is a permanent adhesion to the Plexiglas when you frame this way. Removing the print completely ruins it and takes 3 guys. It was awesome. This was one of the rare times I actually had my point and shoot Panasonic Lumix with me and so I grabbed some photo’s and a little video of the process to show how messy it is.

Miami Jewelry Photographer | Kate Benson Photography and Earthy Chic Boutique

Recently I had the pleasure of photographing the ecommerce images for Earthy Chic Boutique. This company was started by two incredibly fun sweet girls who sell in Mary Brickell Village but needed to get a website up and running. Jewelry photography is one of the  most complex and sensitive types of photography, do it right and you can beautiful shots, do it wrong and it can look really, really terrible. As many have, the girls did their own photography while putting together their budget for professional photography and as they explained to me, it only encouraged them to get into the studio and get some professional photos right away. Happily we were able to get the pieces in here and turned around in a couple of days (quite a feat since they had over 80 pieces). Well, the girls haven’t got the website up and running yet, but it you love anything you see here go give them a visit in Mary Brickell Village and when the website is up and running I’ll post a link for everyone!

Here are a few of my favorite pieces from Earthy Chic Boutique:

 

Happy holidays

December has been an insane month. Like many of my months this year, it’s one of the things I am grateful for looking back at 2011. Many new clients popped up this year and many old clients took big steps in photography. I am happy to have been able to be a part of such transitions for companies big and small. From high fashion marketing photography for Donald J. Pliner to creative minds needing more straight forward product photography like those at Wurkin Stiffs the products I get to photograph always impressed me this year. I wish I had stumbled upon some of them sooner but it is likely next year many of the men and woman in my life will get gifts from these guys.
This week has started out as crazy as last was. I like to think that as the holidays wind down time opens up and I can stop and reflect in more blog posts and such. It seems that won’t be the case. So many a wallpaper Wednesday passed by unchanged, and many a friend, family and client left in the dark, it is with reflection and gratitude that my overdue blog post shares a little of what I’ve been up to. Here are some outtake shots of the Wurkin Stiffs shoot last week!

 

 

Wallpaper Wednesday

On Thursday, after I didn’t have time to put one up last week too. So I get an “F” at Wallpapers this month. Maybe your November is too busy also and you haven’t noticed. Or maybe you loved the Sedona, AZ wallpaper so much that you were happy to get it for an extra week. Well, I’m flattered. Here is another one for you to enjoy since you enjoyed the last one so much.

Brain ‘rejects negative thoughts’

“…the brain is picking and choosing which evidence to listen to….there is a very fundamental bias in the brain.”
Optimists are optimistic because their brains are better at processing positive information and ignoring negative information. Pessimists are pessimistic because their brains process the opposite.
