Back to Confit

Posted on December 17, 2009 by tomwenger

Yesterday I revisited Confit Frech Bistro to do some additional food photography as well as some supporting detail photography. The work will be used on their website and their marketing collateral. Among the reasons that I was happy to get back out to Confit for some work is… it also encourages me to get back out to Confit for dinner. Mrs. Wenger and I had a truly wonderful time the last time we went.

Help-Portrait

Posted on December 12, 2009 by tomwenger

Today I was lucky enough to have my schedule fall into place so that I could take part in something that I really wanted to do, but didn’t think my schedule would allow. The project was Help-Portrait. The official website can be found at Help-Portrait.com. The notion was to go out into the world and find someone who could benefit in a small or great way from having their portrait taken. Then take their portraits, make prints and deliver them. All for free. All in the name of helping out, in some small way through the skills we have as photographers, another person.

Fortunately for me (as I was very late to the party), arrangements had already been set by some photographers to work with groups at the Bethesda Mission men’s and women’s shelters. I walked away with a lot of great photographs but agreed not to share them here for the sake of privacy of those photographed. I also walked away with respect for these gentlemen who are trying to put their lives together despite the rough hand dealt to them by society. Here are some photos of the group of photographers who also were part of the project.

APC Conference

Posted on November 20, 2009 by tomwenger

This was my second year photographing the Association of Pennsylvania Constructors annual trade show and conference. This is a conference for the guys who build our highways and byways. Many of the attendees are engineers and managers of construction companies. Also in attendance are many of PennDOTs managers which allows new policies, proceedings and bureaucratic procedures to be openly discussed.

PRA Awards Banquet

Posted on November 2, 2009 by tomwenger

This was my second year photographing the Pennsylvania Restaurant Association’s Annual Awards Banquet. This year I was asked to setup a makeshift studio to do headshots of the various members before the actual banquet started. A sampling of those headshots are here followed by shots from the banquet itself.

St. Johns Parish Day School

Posted on October 28, 2009 by tomwenger

Yesterday I had the opportunity to work with Deb Bates Schrott founder of Bates Creative Group to photograph the St. Johns Parish Day School in Elicott City, MD. This was a fun shoot highlighting the diversity of both the student body and the learning experience. Thanks a lot to Deb for lining up the shoot. Be sure to check out her award winning design team if you need any creative work done.

Auditorium Seating

Posted on October 26, 2009 by tomwenger

I was contracted to photograph a new auditorium seating installation by the company that sold the seats to the Carlisle School District. The back of the auditorium wasn’t very picturesque and the seating was the main focus so light was limited to just the seating.

Commercial Roof Trussing

Posted on September 18, 2009 by tomwenger

Today I photographed the construction of St. Margaret Mary’s Catholic Church for All-Span. They constructed the truss systems and needed some artistic documentation of the installation process for their website and other marketing collateral.

This one took some patience as it ended up being several weeks from when I was told the trusses were being placed until it actually happened.
