Paul Mitchell The School

Paul Mitchell The School

From time to time, one photo assignment leads to a second assignment from the same client. That was the case recently after producing a Google Virtual Tour of Paul Mitchell, the School in North Haven, Connecticut last June. .https://paulmitchell.edu/northhaven?utm_source=gbp_listing&utm_medium=organic
The school in North Haven has been teaching cosmetology, esthetics, and make-up for over 20 years. In 1980 John Paul Dejoria and Paul Mitchell started the brand with $700 and three products. Now John Paul Mitchell SystemsBadge Registered outline has over 150 brands sold worldwide. The school is in a former bank building with classrooms and areas for hands-on training. There are even workstations called “the quiet room” in what was formerly the bank vault.
 


 


There is also a products store at the school.


You can take the Google virtual tour here:

I left a business card behind; which led to a call late last year to do headshots of students set to graduate from the esthetics program. It was a joy to photograph the students who had interesting outfits and perfect make-up. No image retouching was needed. I set my glamour lighting up in a small classroom and did a series of poses with each student as their classmates watched and encouraged each other. 












Photographing the school interior for the Google virtual tour was interesting, but photographing enthusiastic students was really fun. I never really know what photo assignment is coming my way next . That is why I love being a commercial photographer!

Palmer's Market

Palmer's Market


From time to time I receive a photo assignment that is a pure joy. That was the case when I photographed Palmer’s Market in Darien, CT this spring. The weather was clear and crisp; perfect for exterior photos.  The store manager Travis, and his entire staff were friendly and very proud of their store. There is much more offered here than in a typical supermarket. 


According to their website, https://www.palmersdarien.com/history/ the store was started in 1921. “Palmer’s traces its roots back to the early 1900s as a family-owned Butcher Shop in Stamford. Now, the 4th and 5th generation of Palmer’s are running the business and their vision has transformed a simple market into a one stop shopping destination…” Their website also offers travel tours to Europe.



I was enthralled with the beauty on display there. Extreme care is taken to make displays of food and gift items eye popping. Some of the display cases are specially made in Europe and there are bright spotlights on many of the products.




Even the beer display has a wide variety of ice-cold national brands and microbrews.


The colors were really appealing in the produce and flower departments. 





I also produced a Google virtual tour. You can take it here: https://goo.gl/maps/wvmq6TrmoUUDHjFVA

There is something about a locally owned grocery store business that can’t be duplicated by a corporate chain supermarket. I was very pleased to get this photo assignment and to meet the people running this multi-generational family business.
