Teaming Up on New Medicial Innovatins

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to work with Jonathan Male, a Principal and Executive Creative Director of REALITYRx, a global boutique specializing in healthcare communications. Together we created a series of images for NuTech®, a leading biologics and medical device company. NuTech is in a launch mode for Affinity®, the first and only fresh amniotic allograft which provides highly bioactive healing. Other allografts that we captured images for included NuCel®, an allograft derived from human amnion and amniotic fluid, which provides an enhanced environment for tissue growth, repair and healing. Another amniotic allograft we worked with is NuShieldTM, which is readily available due to its room temperature storage and long shelf life, and is widely used as a wound covering for soft tissue injuries, as well as a barrier for the protection of tendons, nerves and dura. Another innovation that we photographed is Matrix, an allograft known for its natural osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. Matrix is a cancellous and demineralized cortical mixture derived from the same donor, which can be used as a bone void filler. 

Just an amazing new world.  Seemingly every project I do has an element that breaks the norm. It’s always exciting to see these innovations in the medical and healthcare industry up close and personal, talk to the product managers, experience their excitement and be part of a roll out of the next big thing.

Doctor / Patient Relationship

 

The relationship between doctor and patient is one of the most unique we will encounter in our time here on earth.  From the most world-renowned surgeon to the first year med student, any medical professional will agree that an excellent rapport with patients is essential to success in the field of healthcare.

This touching moment between caregiver and patient was photographed on location at the Brandywine Center in Coatesville, PA. The mutual respect between these two men could be felt; it had such presence. In fact, the energy was so relaxed, I could almost hear this man’s heartbeat.

This photo can be seen on the ChesPenn Health Services website as part of the providers’ bios page. ChesPenn Health Services, one of four wellness driven facilities located within the Center for Family Health at Coatesville at Brandywine Center, provides medical care to low-income families and individuals who otherwise might not have these services available to them.

Beach Glass

Littering is bad karma. Our planet is so precious and our most important job as its inhabitants is to protect it. That said, beach glass is the beautiful result of the careless act of tossing manmade glass into the ocean married with years of natural abrasion by wave and sand.

It has many names: mermaid tears, sea glass and trash glass among them. These particular pieces are part of my wife Elizabeth’s collection, gathered from many beaches from California to New Jersey. For this still life shot, I set the pieces in water and black lit them, illuminating their shape and vibrant colors. This photo is a favorite in my product and still life portfolios and is used as wall decor in my studio.

The Tack and the ®Evolution of iPhone Photography

 
 

On June 29, 2007, the first iPhone was released to the public. It’s been 8 short years, but to iOS users, it’s hard to imagine a life without iPhone. This device has not only revolutionized the way we communicate, but also the way we capture photos.

When Rick found this tack wrapped in wire, inspiration struck. With no camera or equipment in tow, he was able to capture an awesome image with just a click of a touchscreen. The sharp, spiral lines of the wire, the fiery copper of the tack, all captured beautifully with a device that fits in the palm of your hand and slips easily into your back pocket. 

The image of the wire wrapped tack went on to be used in print and advertising and held its own with photos captured with much more sophisticated equipment. iOS photography continues to grow and evolve, making impromptu photo shoots and capturing spontaneous moments a tap of the finger away.
