Check out this piece we helped produced for Redbook Magazine; a special about practical, yet stylish camping products!

We are especially super fond of the hand-crank blender margarita-maker.

Peter Cincotti at Daylight Studio

We heard that Peter Cincotti is was in town last week, playing at the Highline Ballroom.
Cincotti’s music is a blend of pop, rock, jazz, blues and funk — his album East of Angel Town is like a good read, with each song a unique short story.

Back in 2007, this soulful pianoman shot his music video “Goodbye Philadelphia” here at Daylight Studio.

Since we’re feelin’ a bit nostalgic, we figured we’d show ya the video!

SEDA SEDA SEDA

Brazilian hair product line SEDA recently teamed up with Brazilian Vogue to create an advertorial.

We were lucky enough to snag some images from photographer Gustavo Zylbersztajn. Inspired by subdued color and sharp geometrics, Gustavo created some amazing photographs here in NYC.

Metromotion’s bilingual & Brazilian-born producer Johnny Tybur led the team all over Manhattan to capture an all around city feeling on this 5-day shoot. We hooked them up with transportation, equipment and permits.

About the shoot, Johnny adds “This team was extremely fun to work with! We had some difficulties at Giants Stadium trying to work around a huge TV commercial shoot that was going on—and then dealing with rain. But we found a tunnel for shelter which ended up being a fantastic spot for photographs.”

Zylbersztajn, a native Brazilian, is an architect/engineer turned photographer. He’s been photographing the past ten years for prominent Brazilian editorial and advertising campaigns. Saying that Gustavo travels A LOT is an understatement. You can find him bouncing from Sao Paolo, NYC, London, Amazonia and back again.

Check out Gustavo’s work.

The weatherman just told me that the next four days in nyc will be adorned with precipitation. Sometimes the weatherman is a liar, but in case he is not, stylin’ boots are the rage.

Hudson River Plane Crash

Worked stopped at Daylight Studio when news of a plane crash in the Hudson. As we watched the plane float down the river from our West Studio, we hoped and prayed for survivors. As word got out that all 153 passengers & crew onboard survived, we were elated.

Check out some of the pictures we took from the studio.
