These are just some selects from Tuesday and Wednesday's shooting for The Art Institutes' Passion for Fashion Competition. It's a really fun project, from the judging which happens in New York in January, to Fashion Week where the national winners in Fashion Design (Elizabeth Acosta) and Fashion Marketing and Merchandising (Ivy Holland) tour fashion shows, visit Seventeen Magazine for a tour of "The Closet" and have lunch with editors, and receive their award of a full tuition scholarship to the Art Institutes. Teen.com TV was also there for the awards ceremony on Wednesday.















More photos can be seen on my Flickr Photostream. Read more about The Art Institutes Passion for Fashion Competition and look at all my my work. I've done all the photos and video for The Art Institutes for the last 4 years. They're a great client and it's great working with them!

Our other competitions with Ai: Best Teen Chef and Poster Design Competition.

(I will let you all know when my photos are in Seventeen Magazine and when the video is available online!)

I just heard the sound of a car slowing down, a horn honk, followed by 3-6 gunshots and then the car speeding off. WTF. And this is where I'm moving?! That's my scared face, right there.

UPDATED 11:56 pm 2/18/2009: I haven't heard any police sirens. It's likely that I misheard or mistook another sound for a gunshot. There's a police station literally a block and a half away, so we would have heard something from the police. I hope.

I'm going to bed now.

UPDATED 12:20 pm 2/19/2009: Okay so it wasn't gun shots after all, rather it was a steam vent noise and the sound of speeding cars was just an unfortunate convenience. How do I know this? I heard the same noise this morning and being rested, I was able to identify its source: the steam pipe in my friend's bedroom. So, crisis averted.

As you may have noticed, there have been some changes to JustinSchuck.com recently. Well, it's official, I'm focusing on my corporate and commercial business. Some people may not believe this, but I actually like doing those "boring" events on Capitol Hill or at some hotel. The clients are easy to please and require relatively little production compared to weddings and families.

2008 was an extremely difficult year for me and the business, making it difficult to meet all of our obligations. It was my decision to not seek new wedding or family portrait clients after some very difficult deliberations. If you're one of my favorite families and are wondering what this means for you, drop me a line and we'll see what we can do. :-)

I've updated the site with a few images and links to Justin Schuck Photography on various social networks. I've also introduced a new special for first-time clients.

New Client Special: Running now through May 1, 2009 first-time clients will pay just $150 for up to three hours of event photography in Washington DC or New York. In addition to photo coverage, you’ll receive high resolution images on disk. We can even FTP them to a server within hours of your event or place the images online through Collages.net. It’s time you see the high-quality images our clients have come to expect. Join the Schuck family. (Ask about our assignment and extended-day specials.)

There will be an official press release coming in the relatively near future.
