Pictures To Look At

Looks like I haven’t written a blog post here for almost a full year. Oops. 2011 was a great year for Colin M. Lenton Photography, we have a lot to be thankful for. If you helped us out, or hired us at all last year - thank you so much.

We shot all over the place this past year. We were in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Dallas (twice), Memphis (three times), New Orleans, Connecticut, D.C., and of course, New York City. It was a busy year with a lot of travel (we earned our premier status at a few hotel chains and with our favorite airline, Southwest).

I’ll share some of my favorite images from those shoots below.

This shoot was fun. We rented a 64 Caddy and drove it out into the desert. It was 108 degrees by 9am.

And now some photos of some ads of mine running in Memphis right now. For more info on the project I’m working on in Memphis, check out I Teach I Am

One of the more exciting shoots I’ve had recently took me out to Las Vegas to shoot at the brand new casino and resort, The Cosmopolitan. The casino, which cost nearly 4 billion dollars is gorgeous and was consequently a blast to shoot in. I was commissioned to do portraits of several consultants instrumental in managing the build, but also had a chance to do some documentary photos at the opening party.

I have a new gallery on my main site with some of my favorites from that night.

All in all, these kinds of assignments help to remind me that I have one of the best jobs in the world. The next time you’re in Vegas, make sure to stop by the Cosmopolitan.

As some of you may already know, over the summer I tragically lost my adorable beagle Franklin when he was hit and killed by car. After some grieving time, and a bunch of links to perfectly adorable beagles that needed to be adopted, I finally decided it was time to adopt another little guy.

I wrote a post about him over on our studio’s website. If you haven’t yet been there, make sure to go check out the new website for our Philadelphia Rental Photo Studio. It is still under construction, but we got the blog live recently so there are some things to explore.

I’ll copy and paste the post here as well:

Philadelphia Photographer Colin Lenton recently adopted a sweet beagle puppy from S.O.S. Beagle Rescue in Atco, NJ. and he has quickly become a welcome furry addition to our office. (At least when he’s not barking during conference calls, or chewing expensive photo equipment…but he’ll grow out of that - right ?)
