Fashion Week After Party to aid The Macdella Cooper Foundation

Last weekend I got to spend time with some of my favorite people- The volunteers for the Macdella Cooper foundation. The occasion was their second annual Fashion week after party, Once again held at Nikki Beach on the East Side of Manhattan.

The event was a great success, replete with a dazzling fashion show, An awesome musical performance and free cupcakes for all. It was a lot of fun!

Jewelry Shots for Ruff&Cut

Ruff&Cut is a company specializing in fair trade, socially responsible jewelry. Their beautiful designs have a timeless appeal yet stray far from the traditional. Many of their ethically sourced stones are presented in their "Ruff" unpolished states which gives a very different perspective and removes some of the stuffy formality associated with high end diamond jewelry. Please take a look at the company website www.ruffandcut.com.
Recently I was asked to photograph some of their pieces for catalog and promotional use and even though I have had little experience with product photography in the past, I was happy to give it a go. Let me tell you, these shots look simple but strange things happen when you photograph something this small! There was definitely a steep learning curve, but I think I cracked it and added a new string to my bow. Enjoy the shots.

 
 
Earrings From the new "Klido" line, hence the polished stones!
