A little late in posting this. I'll put up April soon too.

Worst. Assistant. Ever.

2011-03-28T08:59:00.006-04:00

He falls asleep at the shoot, won't carry anything, and I don't understand a word he's saying. On the up side he does work for belly rubs.

I'm an animal lover and a bit of a cat lady when it comes down to it. This is my cat, Motoquinha (it means little motorcycle in portuguese) who I adopted from Barc Shelter when he was little. Sometimes I'll bring him along to the studio when I've been working late multiple days in a row, which he thinks is pretty much the greatest thing in the world. Here he is luxuriating around Nylon's beauty products, and who won't love that? Wednesday I'll post the tears from this shoot.

Anthony Luciano's studio and details

2011-03-21T07:30:00.000-04:00

In addition to shooting Anthony's stunning hand bags in my studio, I also shot his studio where he hand makes the purses, clutches, and bags. Anthony is known for incorporating vintage hardware into many of his bags which pour out of drawers waiting for just the right hand bag to be a part of. These images will be in his up-and coming new website, meanwhile be sure to 'like' him on Facebook to see more of his (and some of my) work, or see his collection in person at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City.

Anthony Luciano's Hand Bags

2011-03-17T09:18:00.000-04:00

Every lady's dream:

More images on my website. I'll post some photos of Anthony's beautiful and inspiring studio where he creates these beautiful purses in my next update.

New Ad Image for Suzy Landa

Here is a recent ad I shot for Suzy Landa, a brilliant jewelry designer.

Out takes from Power of 6

2011-03-16T20:17:00.006-04:00

Here are a few out takes from the Power of Six cover. More updates to come very soon. I've been so busy!

NYT Blog

2011-02-17T07:52:00.003-05:00

My image appears in the New York Times Blog. I love the opening of this article by Holly Siegel. "If you follow [fragrances], you rapidly lose the impulse to bat an eyelash when told a scent is inspired by a flower that actually has none (Marc Jacobs Daisy) , a chick flick (Fresh’s Eat Pray Love trio) or the High Line (Bond No. 9)."

The Power of Six book cover

2011-02-09T17:36:00.001-05:00

This shoot was SOOO much fun. Thanks to the creative minds at Harper Collins, we made this fun book cover. It's the second in a series by Pittacus Lore. The first being I am Number Four which has been turned into a movie to be released 2.18.11. Check out the trailer here: http://findnumberfour.com/

The book is due out August 23rd, 2011

New book cover is out!

2011-02-09T15:15:00.003-05:00

I LOVED working with the guys over at Little Brown. I got to shoot a beautiful piece of leather in just the right light. An additional perk was exploring the many leather stores in the garment district. The book, Monster High: The Ghoul Next Door, is the second in a series by Lisi Harrison. The books will be on shelves April 2011!

Winter

2011-01-11T22:35:00.006-05:00

Santa left me a new point in shoot camera for Christmas (seeing how the last one he left was made in 2001, but I digress). Here is what my holiday looked like:

Since my stand-by studio camera is arguably one of the most heavy medium format cameras (Fuji GX680) and therefore is on a stand at all times, the freedom of caring around a little camera everywhere is an experience I'd almost forgot, and one that I missed.

Joseph Murray Jewelry

2011-01-11T17:40:00.003-05:00

January seems to always start with a lul, so I've been taking advantage of the past few days to create a new printed portfolio. While going through old images and retouching new ones, I found this.

The necklace is by Joseph Murray (you can find his work in Bergdorf Goodman). I love the stones he uses and his pieces are so natural in form. I can't get enough of them. Joseph gave me a lot of creative license in lighting the shots and I love how the stones play with light creating this variegated shadow.

Gilt Groupe

Recent tears from Nylon's December/January issue and Bust's Gift Guide. How good do those Whoopie Pies at the bottom look? MMMmmm.

Elle.com Holiday gift guide

2010-11-22T16:17:00.003-05:00

Working for Elle.com on their Holiday Gift Guide was one of my favorite jobs ever! My amazing Stylist, Richard Alfredo, and I created a ton of beautiful images. We had so much fun working with the graphic hardware-store-type props and juxtaposing them on the varied luxury goods, each demanding their own very specific lighting. In the end, Elle liked so many of the images that more of them will be appearing in other areas of the website in the future. I'll be sure to post those images as well. Enjoy!

Newest tears for Nylon.

Update

2010-11-13T15:29:00.003-05:00

I've been super busy recently and, unfortunately, haven't had time to post as much to the blog. In attempt to not overwhelm the blog, I'll dole it out slowly. I've got a lot of new images, a lot of new clients, including Elle.com, new work for Nicole Miller, Nylon, Bust, and Victorinox, and more fun personal work!

New Personal Work

2010-11-13T15:15:00.004-05:00

I spotted these different kinds of pasta while in Little Italy and feel in love with the sweeping shapes and textures. I've had it in the studio for a good year and a half waiting for the perfect way to light it to come to me. Here's the result through a very special oblique back lighting technique.

My work on KidsWithCandy.com

2010-11-04T12:34:00.002-04:00

I managed to miss this until now, but my images are on Kids With Candy. I shot these amazing high end pet tags for Me and Miss Jones. What a fun concept, right!? The extremely talented Even Kafka shot the animal images.

Bust out-take

2010-08-26T20:42:00.003-04:00

Here's an example of a great photo that didn't make it into a magazine. I shot this as an alternative photo for Bust a few issues back (you can see the tear below) and even though they loved it, it didn't fit into the page. Sometimes the best photos don't make the cut.

The long awaited update!

2010-08-26T12:12:00.005-04:00

It's been FAR too long since my last update. I've been busy busy busy! New clients, including Harper Collins (can't wait to show you the amazing work we did together), new work, and summer fun.

New ad for Suzy Landa.

This one got lost in the mix and didn't make it up from an old Bust issue.

Greepoint #5 best neighborhood!

2010-04-19T07:50:00.004-04:00

I've lived off and on in Greenpoint, Brooklyn for five years now and had my studio here for about 3. I'm always telling people what a great place it is. It's quieter than most of Manhattan, safe, people are nice, and there are so many amazing bars and restaurants. New York Magazine just made my argument a little stronger by naming Greenpoint the #5 best neighborhood in NYC! It's been such a great location for the studio. I'm just a block away from super trendy Williamsburg while having a lot more space by living in a different zip code and there's something to be said for the amazing places I can order lunch from. Mmmmm. I love Greenpoint!

It pays to google yourself

2010-03-23T10:10:00.005-04:00

I try to occasionally google myself (saying that always makes me snicker a little), and this is my latest find:

http://www.myfdb.com/people/43978-christine-blackburne

It's a website that functions as a database for fashion photography and shows some of the editorials I've done for Nylon. It looks like a good resource and I'm always happy to have more people be able to access my work. Check it out!

**Update** I corrected the broken link, it will now direct you to my page on myfdb.

Why are you bringing that home?

2010-03-03T09:43:00.008-05:00

I've always been in trouble with parents, then room mates, then boyfriends for bringing home distressed objects from the street and other discarded items. Things my mother wouldn't want me touching but I find beautiful.
