This motorhome is one of the best designed production vehicle in Miami. It is completely customized for an on-location photo shoot. There’s a computer workstation that comes in handy at the end of a hard day shoot. This is particularly convenient for processing RAW files on the way back home.

As the Miami season comes to a close, Christine Kelly Productions would like to thank everyone who made 2007-2008 a very successful, productive and safe year. In particular, we would like to thank Silvia from the City of Miami Beach Film and Print Division, Wesley from the Department of Environmental and Geo from Crandon Beach Park for their exceptional work in helping us with several large productions, most notably Tiffany & Co. and Tara Jarmon. These productions involved many large vehicles which required special beach access, parking and coordination. Wesley was extremely efficient in granting us approval for the exact silica (sand) granular gradient. In a nutshell, we donated 4 tons of sand to the City of Miami Beach for a set we built.

Our 3yr old Beagle, Sam, was featured in Yo Dona Magazine (supplement to El Mundo). He had such a great time with the kids and boy, did he love all the attention! This was a kids editorial story shot at Jimbo’s in Miami. Four wranglers were involved. One for each kid and one for our dog. We work extremely well with kids and their parents. Importantly, we try very hard to maintain an energetic and happy environment when shooting. It was an honor to work with Spain’s most relevant photographer, Sara Zorraquino.

Of course, matching models with the appropriate projects is always the first consideration. In a Christine Kelly Productions casting, models are also interviewed and monitored for experience, personality traits and specials skills. We may ask the candidates to portray different moods and poses. We may ask what projects they have been working on lately. We may even have a fitting for size in the next room. By filtering out candidates before shoot day, we save time, money and frustrations. In the case of kids castings, we are on the lookout for the wobbly or missing tooth. Model kids are cute but they may look awkward in a catalog with missing teeth.

Christine Kelly Productions would like to thank OJO Images UK, a premium stock photography company, for inviting us to their photo shoot in Miami. At Ojo Images, it’s all about strong creative concepts, brilliant technical skills, and the highest possible production values. It was an honor to work with Chris Ryan, Justin Pumfrey and Emma Sutton.

We had a great time this summer in New York City helping out with Big Fish Games’ video game production. It was all about Locations, Locations, Locations! We scouted over 65+ locations, both public and private. It was great to feel like a tourist in the Big Apple!

It started out as a fine sunny production day. Slowly, the sun turned into clouds. The wind speed slowly began to creep upon us while we were setting up for our first shot of the day.

We had no time to gather our belongings. Rain! Wind! Our tents, props, equipment started to blow away. Everyone ran into the Texas Stadium as a safety precaution.

Fortunately, the storm blew over and the sun came out. We were able to get the rest of our shots done. Christine Kelly Productions is prepared for any type of situation.

Christine Kelly Productions is now offering full photo production services within the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

Our team has been in Dallas for the past few months working with Wal-Mart. Last month, we had the wonderful opportunity to meet and work with Dallas Cowboy Quarterback, Tony Romo. He was such a sport, autographing a few footballs for the crew. He is very down to earth and kind. No complaints…just all smiles! It was a great shoot.

This month we are coordinating a huge casting of all the models within the Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston markets.

We’ll keep you posted!

Here are few images from Behind The Scenes of one our editorial productions.

We would like to thank Macy’s corporate office for coming to Miami. It was such an honor to work with one of the best fashion photographer’s, Koto Bolofo. He is such a kind, genuine and funny man!
