A few weeks back, Adrian sent me uptown to the GM Building for a feature on Jeff Kolitch, the manager of Baron Capital’s Real Estate Fund. Since the focus of the article was Real Estate, they kinda wanted to see Real Estate, so on the scout, even thought they had a lot of fish tanks that might make for some fun portraits…
…I still had to make sure to come up with something that might actually relate to why Jeff was being interviewed…
Adrian really liked the window and its view, so Ben and I figured we could turn it into a ‘frame’ that would hold our photo…
And the final images…
But we weren’t done yet. When Jeff walked me around the offices on the location scout, I really liked the space-age, floating glass staircase that joined the 48th & 49th floors…
…and after a bit of lighting…
…we ended up with this…
Sharp eyes will notice that in the final image I cloned the wall on the right side of the photo onto the left side to make things more symmetrical, a technique I used once before on another staircase shot for Businessweek.
Damn Ugly Photography
