Beehive

I've been photographing a building renovation and the contractor found this abandoned beehive in the wall. It is a good 26" wide by about 12" tall. It is also very delicate, probably because of it's age, and had to be handled with extreme care. The layering of material and color is just amazing and at first glance looks like a piece of sculpture. The contractor carefully removed it so I was able to get a few photos. Enjoy.

Up All Night Press

So I got a call from a new company here in town just before the NYC gift show. They have a new product line of gift packages for a variety of occasions and they needed them photographed for their website. We had to work fast due to the deadline but the results were a big improvement over the do-it-yourself photos they were using. I thought their business was a great concept and I wish them much success. Here is a link to their website: http://upallnightpress.com/

HO, HO, WHOA!

Every year I create a Christmas card for my Niece that's just a little different than your everyday holiday card. This year the emphasis went to their new baby boy. I photographed him holding an empty snow globe and then after selecting which image we wanted to use, shot the rest of the family against a white background in the appropriate pose for the globe. The images were assembled in Photoshop where snow and reflections where added. It was a fun project.

Portrait - Robert Bray, CT based voiceover artist

Every once in a while you find a person like Bob who just looks great if front of a camera. Almost every shot was a "keeper" and it was a blast working with him. Bob, who specializes in narrating audio books, has a fantastic voice which was apparent the moment he spoke. I have no doubt he will do well in his industry. You can listen to samples at   www.rcbray.com.

Bay View, South Darmouth, MA

I spent a great deal of my summers in this special place. My days were spent on the water where I sailed, fished, and water skied. It's located on the edge of Padanaram harbor in Buzzards Bay where the Concordia Company built their famous and beautiful yawls. Bay View is a small community, tucked away and bypassed by the streams of traffic going to Cape Cod. In may ways there has been little change over all these years – and that's a good thing.

Golf Course Photography - Aspetuck Valley CC

I recently worked with the Aspetuck Valley Country Club in Weston, CT to provide new photos for their updated website. They have recently completed a renovation and expansion of their facilities and it looks fantastic. Additional images may be viewed in the recent work section of my website here.

Corporate Portraits

I was chosen by AltieriSeborWieber, an engineering firm in Norwalk, to create a series of portraits for use in their company website. I offer businesses a great package if I can photograph three or more people during the same session. These were taken in their office with my portable studio setup. It doesn't require much space and can be setup and ready to go in about a half hour. Clients really like this as they don't have to travel or take out precious time from their busy schedules. People come in one at a time for about 15-20 minutes while I shoot a series of images that are viewed immediately on the larger screen of my portable computer. We make sure we have a number of acceptable images before their session ends. The photos are taken back to my studio for a little post processing touch up and cropping before being delivered either by electronic transfer or a disk in the mail. 


If you are interested in a session for your business, please contact me at dan@danmurdoch.com or call 203.226.2800.

Crystal Clear

Golf anyone?

With all this snow it's going to be a long time before we can play golf in New England so I will just have to settle for creating images like this instead.

Winter Weather

Waking up to a fresh snow is always a treat – until you have to go out and shovel. We are having record snow amounts this January and I've just about had my fill. These are a few quick shots taken from the comfort of my house just as the sun was rising.
