"This time of the year things are busy at Hollie Bertram Photography, with all most all of it focused on products for the holidays, which means Christmas sets and lots of shots for the products sold online. 

Translating, mostly silos, that means things are a lot more technical. I did take a moment before this all started on a personal project with shells. Being attracted to their colours and even the shapes of the broken ones. Always loved how at certain angles they can morph into something else, just like when you were a kid and would look up at the clouds. Included here are three images from the series, as well as other images from past shoots."

Mitchel Gray - over 100 covers, over 1000 editorials, ads, and web pages, two best-selling coffee table books, several NYC (and elsewhere) art gallery shows, and a bunch of videos. 

Bodies - 'In Action', 'At Rest', and 'Intertwined' have been one of the two major focuses of Mitchel’s work. The second has been portraits- celebrities, athletes, models, performers, and real people. 

The images included in this issue of Showcase Magazine are all new and help to round out the overall portfolio. The new 'Bodies in Action' photos feature NFL players, dancers from great companies, and stuntmen who are remarkable subjects and a joy to shoot. Note that in each photo that appears to have more than one person in it, it is actually the same person in competition with themselves.
