WKND Magazine: Bryan Voltaggio of Top Chef

Last July I was assigned by The Daily's magazine "WKND" to head up to Frederick, Md, and photograph Chef Bryan Voltaggio, a recent contestant  of Bravo's hit TV show Top Chef and his Oyster Po'Boy sandwich. The Po'Boy was showcased as part of a weekly article that highlighted a secret ingredient that was used in a chef's dish. For this edition, Old Bay seasoning was used. I spent the morning with Voltaggio in and around his restaurant Volt in downtown Frederick. 

Two minutes with Julia Brownley

  Spending the last five years photographing celebrities and politicians have taught me..your never get the time you are promise and expect things to change in the last second.
  A week back I was on assignment for the Ventura County Star to photograph an interview with newly-elected Congresswoman Julia Brownley, who will be representing California's 26th Congressional District.
  I arrived to the hotel a few minutes early to figure out a few places where I could shoot some portraits before the interview.  I had my game plan figured out and ready to go. Just seconds before our scheduled time, a staff members of her's informed us that we would be doing the interview in another building of the hotel and she was on a very short time table.  I had just two minutes to get a portrait of her before the interview started.
