For this latest XCVI shoot we shot on the beach in Malibu, which was so fun! It was perfect weather and the water was amazing. I shot video as well as photos, and made a video look book with my footage.
Please check out the video below! Please click to enlarge/to check it out on Vimeo. Also below the video are some photos from the completed look book. To check out all the photos, please go to xcvi.com!

Cinemagraphs

I thought the cinematic nature of this shoot I did last week was a great time to experiment with cinemagraphs (photographs with subtle movement in them). It might take a couple seconds looking at each cinemagraph to see the movement. Please see below to view the final product, and below them for the photos from the shoot!

XCVI Fall 2 2011

Tamar — Tue, 24 May 2011 17:18:56 +0000

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure to do some photos for XCVI, one of my favorite clients. This time was a little different; they had a production company, Anchorbolt Studios, come in and do a little video for the season, and had me shoot the stills for the look book. It was really fun and came out super cute!

Check out my photos after the jump, plus the adorable video! Please click images to enlarge.

XCVI Resort 2010 Behind the Scenes

Tamar — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 18:53:19 +0000

I always have such a great time working with XCVI. I love them and I love my crew who works with me on their shoots! Yesterday was no different. We photographed the Resort 2010 Look Book, using Dawn as a model. The idea was to photograph Dawn against a clean white background. After I do the retouching, XCVI’s illustrator will draw a Parisian scene around Dawn, using (my favorite movie) Breathless as inspiration. I can’t wait to see the final product! In the meantime please check out two short videos I put together; one shot very quickly with my iPhone using the app VintageMaker, and the other put together with stills from a camera we left on a tripod throughout the day. Enjoy!

Hunger

I work with my dad’s design Cyberia Media (link) quite often, doing photography and video for various projects. This latest project was really fun. I did most of the photo and video (the rest was stock) for a video called “Fed Up With Hunger” for the Jewish Federation. The Beastie Boys donated a song, and everyone worked hard to make this video great. The video can be seen on the Jewish Federation’s website (link), or below!
