FIELD NOTES
New Work & Woolgathering | Photographer Scott Gable
New Wind Work
I’ve been busy this summer documenting the installation of 76 new wind turbines near Freedom NY.
Catholic Health
Here’s a quick look into a 3 day shoot with our friends at Crowley Webb for Catholic Health. Helicopters! Doctors! Babies being born! Typical hospital things, but I found it fascinating.
I’ll try to boil things down to a reasonably sized rant but we shot 5300 images over the 3 days so it’s always tough trying to show only the best.
Niagara University
We had a 1 day shoot up at the scenic Niagara University campus this past week. Fun fact: N.U. was originally named Our Lady of Angels and was a seminary for Vincentian priests. I’m not sure how fun that fact actually was.
But we had fun shooting a bunch of environmental portraits of students doing their thang.
Sweat And Gobo’s
Portrait shoots are somewhat rare for me and I always ask myself why that is. I always end up loving doing them.
Evans Bank approached me with a bit of a last minute shoot and I was all in. They had reference shots and a pretty strong concept and a Buffalo Bills linebacker… hell yeah. I had a few days to think through a lighting setup and came up with this. The main players are a DIY snoot and a ‘custom cut’ paper plate with some rare earth magnets so I could rotate said gobo.
Inspo Links | Josef Koudelka
Josef Koudelka. Czech born 1938 who documented the Russian invasion of Prague in 1968. He shot the events and had the negatives smuggled out of the country so they could be published anonymously.
Koudelka was signed on as a Magnum photographer shortly after the Prague story was published. Are you as big of a Magnum groupie as me? This book is both affordable and an amazing look at contact sheets from some big names in that agencies roster. Just go buy it!
Everydaycarry
I picked up a Fujifilm x100vi a few weeks ago and I kinda love the stupid thing.
After being on the B&H waitlist for this camera for 6 months someone suggested I try the local camera shop, Delaware Camera. Sure as shit a week later I had a brand new x100vi. Score!
Outside InThe Sun Shooting
Give me farm equipment, fields, mud and the sun and I’m happy.
