This is the 2nd part of 3 in the Installation Series.  I was able to witness the building of this furniture and now it’s time to let the finished work speak for itself.  I like to think that these guys made something from nothing.  In the beginning, all they had were some drawings on a sketch pad and some scrap wood lying around.  Now completed, the items in these images are the real works of art.  Going into this project, I didn’t know what direction I would be taking for documenting the finished furniture.  All I knew was it had to be simple and showcase the wood.  In the end, I did a little bit of scouting for outdoor locations and I stumbled upon this spot.  I loved how the dead weeds and grasses were all tall and overgrown.  With this shoot I wanted an organic feel to it.  I wanted to let the natural elements of the wood blend in with the natural elements of the landscape.  I new right away that we had to do this shoot on location at night, so I called in the aid of a 3000 watt generator and several extension cords to power my strobes.   With help from Raul Pinto, I was able to shoot all the pieces of furniture in the matter of a few hours.  Big thanks to Raul and all the boys at Installation for the help with the heavy lifting.  Keep an eye out for part 3 of this series.  It will showcase the finished space with everything built out and completed.
