Profile: Megyn Kelly of FOX News

I had an opportunity to photograph Megyn Kelly,  the anchor of “America Live” on Fox News for a New York Times Style Section profile piece. I’ve always enjoyed shooting on the sets of television shows,  whether they be sitcom,  news,  or dramas. It’s interesting for me to document how television is made.

I met Megyn on set a few moments prior to her live newscast. I wanted to get a good mix of documentary and portraiture,  so I only spent a few moments on set taking her portrait,  rather I wanted to document her while preparing for her show and delivering the news On Air. Normally when I shoot on a set,  I can only roam and take photos freely during commercial breaks or through the glass of a control room because of the camera noise. This time,  I was able to shoot continuously though the broadcast on set because I was using my new Leica M9,  which is super quiet…just love that camera!

Her show is three hours long and afterward we rendezvoused in her office where I took more relaxed portraits. It was a small,  but nicely decorated traditional office incorporating many photos of her family,  her large shoe collection,  and a comfy lounge chair set dozens of floors in the New York City sky.

Poor Megyn was suffering a mega cold the day of our shoot having to suck on lozenges and bear through awful coughing spells during commercial breaks. She has a tough job,  especially when you’re under the weather!

I had a really nice time over at Fox News. I found their PR team,  stage manager,  cameramen, and Megyn herself were more than accommodating and super friendly. I also made my dad and grandfather proud having steeped foot in their favorite news channel’s headquarters!

Cool New Client – Tiki Recreation

I’ve started working with a cool new client, Tiki Recreation, a playground equipment company that partnered up with former New York Giants football star Tiki Barber. Always fun to wake up in the AM and hit the playground with a football star and a bunch of kids for a catered shoot. Yummmmm, muffins!

Tiki is a really cool, down-to-earth kind of guy. I got to hang out with him and his twin brother, Ronde (also a NFL player), while on assignment a year ago when they were promoting their new children’s book. They dabble in everything.

Some pix:


Tiki plays on it, so should you.
