Music Video: “ND Passerby” by Late Cambrian
Posted on | November 15, 2011 | No Comments
I directed and shot this music video for the band Late Cambrian. This song is for their debut album, The Last Concert, on Milk It to Deaf Records. We shot it at a house in Queens that belonged to a friend of the Band. Many of the friends of the band performed as extras. The lyrics and the story are based on an extra getting upgrading to a principal after being “discovered”. Shot all in one day with a hectic pace but everyone was great about it. Shot all on the Canon 5D mk2. More of my videos are at www.chris-sanders.com/reel

October Hemispheres Magazine
Posted on | November 8, 2011 | No Comments
If you are flew United Airlines last month, you will see this story I shot for United’s Hemispheres Magazine. It is about three days in New York City. Actually, for me, it was a lot more days. Since I am here in New York, I went out at different times on different days based on the needs of the photos. Sometimes, I went late at night and on others I waited for a blue sky. Not your normal approach to travel but it was great to photograph the city I love. I even shot Ellis Island, a place I had not been to yet. Additional outtakes from the shoot are below.
In the Heat Newspaper
Posted on | October 19, 2011 | No Comments
My next newspaper is out and in the mail. I produced this newspaper as part of my ongoing series of “Themed” newspapers. Typically, the papers contain images that come from my personal photo shoots. I print over 6000 of them and mail them to creatives around the US and Europe. I really enjoy putting them together. The paper format allows me to print many images LARGE. And what do photographers like more than to print their photos big! It’s very retro to feel the paper and ink and work with the printer to convert the image for the page. I print on a small press here in New York. It’s a real art project for the printer as they typically do ethnic text-based newspapers. The newspaper is visible on-line at issuu.com Or here as a downloadable PDF. Eight of my favorite papers are on my website under “Paper Series.”

New and Improved Portrait Portfolio!
Posted on | October 3, 2011 | No Comments
I have added quite a few new portraits to the portrait section of my website at www.chris-sanders.com. These images largely represent many of the artists that I have been photographing as part of a personal artists series. I have been really enjoying this series of environmental portraits. It’s great to meet many of the artists and discuss their work and their process.

Shooting A Music Video
Posted on | August 16, 2011 | No Comments
Just completed directing and shooting a video for the Band Late Cambrian and their song ND Passerby. We shot on the 5D at a house just outside of Queens, New York in a town called Bellerose. The band pulled in many friends and fans for various roles throughout the video.
New Website Improvements
Posted on | July 25, 2011 | No Comments
We have done improvements on my main website at www.chris-sanders.com. Some you can see and others you can’t. Paul Larrow at Feast did a great job of designing and implementing new features on top of the original Chad Portas design. First off, Paul was able to build in a back-end interface that lets us make up-to-the-minute changes in the portfolio without having to recreate the flash files. That’s a big help when I want to get out the latest images. Paul also created a new video player which uses Vimeo to enable me to showcase my growing body of video work. Finally, the tearsheet section is more animated to show off actual tearsheets rather than just the client names. I’m very happy that Feast was able to give us this flexibility and expansion capabilities while allowing us to maintain the current look of the site. FYI, we are still in Flash as I like the experience but maintain a separate HTML site for mobile and Ipad devices.

We completed the editing and here it is. I wrote and directed this coffee commercial. We shot in a very tight location on a RED. It was a bit of a noisy place. It turned out that the day of our shooting, the house next door was doing construction. We had to pause when a circular saw would go off!! Fortunately that wasn’t that often.
