Hotel Photography New England

in , ,

I feel like the whole world is poised at the starting line of a race, just waiting for the signal, and when it goes off we’re all going to run as fast as we can to all the places we’ve been dreaming of.  While we’ve been staying home and safe, the hotels have been getting ready for us.  Where will you go when it’s time to travel?

We recently completed a hotel photography project featuring lifestyle photos of ‘guests’ enjoying themselves at the Charles Hotel in Cambridge, MA.  Having used the down time during the pandemic to renovate their lobby, the hotel wanted to feature the warm tones and inviting spaces that would await guests as they returned to travelling.

As a commercial photographer in Boston this was a dream project to work on because there were so few guests at the time that we were able really spread out and make full use of the space. That’s something that would never be possible otherwise with a hotel in the middle of Harvard Square!

Jenny Dell: Improper Bostonian

NESN Red Sox reporter Jenny Dell on the cover of this week's Improper.On whether she gets sick of all that baseball: "I think anything you end up putting your all into, you love. So you eat, breathe, sleep and dream it. On my days off, I sit at home and watch the game. Once you’re a part of it, you’re all in."

Melody Ehsani

Melody Ehsani grew up in a traditional Persian home, destined for law school and a status-assigning marriage. The LA native chose a different route, however, and today her vibrant designs are snapped up by celebrities like Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and Jennifer Lopez. "I decided to break with my culture and follow my heart into a field I was internally drawn to….design," said Ehsani. "The more I designed shoes and products, the more it felt like the right thing for me to be doing."

Ehsani's style has become highly sought after, and Adam joined her on a recent day at Reebok's headquarters while she worked on a new shoe design.

For the June/July 2013 issue of the MIT Technology Review, Adam photographed these brightly-packaged squares known as Tcho chocolates. Adam's image really showcases the uniquely textured chocolates. Tcho's dynamic packaging is not the only thing that sets theses chocolates apart from the rest!  For more information check out Technology review's article here.
