carina romano photography

This week I photographed for Fabric Horse [link], a small business that has been dubbed “Philadelphia’s premier outfit for utilitarian goods and costumes for urban life.”

I’m the proud owner of one of their custom-made seatbelt bags, and will very soon order myself a fanny pack. I swear, these are the best bags for biking around the city. The bag I have now is the perfect size for my camera and accessories. I think I use it nearly every day.

Stephen has his ceramic studio directly above our photography studio. This is one piece he displayed in our space for a week. It’s a porcelain chandelier. I decided to first take a standard product shot on black, so that the white of the piece would stand out. But Stephen preferred seeing it in a setting, against the white of our studio. I think I like both side by side, so you can see the details in one picture, and the ambiance in another.

Agrimony and Everlast [link] is a massage parlor run by Matthew Beck and Sarah Wilson. They are located in the back of The Random Tea Room in Northern Liberties [link]. These are just a few promo shots of the parlor. The room was really tight and hard for me to get a nice wide picture, so I might have to go back and re-shoot the room. Matt and Sarah wanted the warm and dark ambiance to be a factor in the photos.
