"Taylor Korzeniewski is a videographer who loves being photographed and many times I experiment with lighting techniques on him and many other friends of mine, that way, by the time I have celebrity photo shoots, I’ll be comfortable with what the lighting outcome and concept will be.” – Marvin Joseph

B&H BILD Expo 2023

B&H Photo Video Pro Audio celebrated their 50 year anniversary with BILD EXPO 2023 at the Javit’s Center, NYC. There was an incredible line-up of Industry Professionals, 4 stages with over 60 speakers, film workshops, a Camera Museum and Free Portfolio Reviews - all due to the extraordinary David Brommer, Director Large Scale Events, and the brilliant B&H Team for making all of this come together.

I was fortunate to share my Table with fellow Reviewer, the accomplished Washington Post Photographer Marvin Joseph @king_marvino, and his close friend Videographer, Taylor Korzeniewski @thewnk. Both talented, charming and very fun, they talked me into my first selfie!

SINK/RISE is the third chapter of 'The Day May Break', photographer Nick Brandt's ongoing global series portraying people and animals that have been impacted by environmental degradation and destruction. This third chapter focuses on South Pacific Islanders impacted by rising oceans from climate change. The people in these photos, photographed underwater in the ocean off the coast of the Fijian islands, are representatives of the many people whose homes, land and livelihoods will be lost in the coming decades as the water rises.

FIRST STOP, LAST STOP: Rita Nannini + My Upcoming Nov LACP Online Workshop

First Stop, Last Stop  

Published by Workshop Arts, 2023
Photographs by Rita Nannini / Design by Caleb Cain Marcus

Rita Nannini traveled 22 subway lines and 600 miles of subway tracks to find what lies at the end of each line. She discovered the end of the line for one person is the beginning for another. First Stop Last Stop is an exploration of how the subway connects communities to each other and the edges of the city, with an essay by Virginia Hines and beautifully designed by Caleb Cain Marcus of Luminosity Lab. And you can purchase it here!

 

Since 2013, Rita Nannini has been photographing all the first and last stops of the NYC Subway! In 2021, Rita brought her enormous archive of subway photographs to my LACP Photo Book Design Workshop. It was a stand-out project she continued to work on...

"Elizabeth’s class was instrumental in helping me edit and sequence hundreds of photographs into my book First Stop Last Stop. From day one, she freely shared her wealth of experience and knowledge of photo book design to organize the images and decide on what should be included in the book. By the end of the class, I had a much clearer vision to work with book designer Caleb Cain Marcus of Luminosity Labs, who beautifully worked in the subway and train elements.” – Rita Nannini

 

Designer Caleb Cain Marcus of Luminosity Lab created the final terrific design for Rita Nannini's newly published book, 'First Stop Last Stop’ (Workshop Arts, 2023)! I love the NYC Subway metallic-like cover and the very graphic numbers for the different train lines. Congrats to Rita and Caleb!
