Shanghai Huangpu River Time Lapse
September 17th, 2011I have started fooling around a bit with time lapse videos. Nothing fancy. Just a series of JPGs all strung together into a little video using Quicktime. They are imperfect. Low-res. Herky jerky. Frames sometimes out of order. BUT, they are kind of fun. Here is the first one.

Ning Li – CEO & Founder of Made.com for Time Magazine
December 1st, 2010For the last three and a half months I was trapped in Asia. Well, trapped isn’t entirely accurate – the phone wouldn’t stop ringing so I kept changing my plane ticket back to New York.
One of the last shoots that I participated in when I was in Asia was a portrait of Made.com’s CEO Ning Li for Time magazine when Ning was in Shanghai. And that portrait hit stands last week (Nov 29 International Edition for those of you dashing out the door right now).
So I just wanted to share this portrait with you (and link to the full pdf here: Made.com CEO Ning Li)
Made.com uses crowdsourcing to design its furniture – soliciting designs from professional designers and then letting users vote for the best designs. Of those best designs a handful are then put into production. But I digress. I will let you read the article.

Central Studios Shanghai – Your One-Stop Shop
November 15th, 2010While on the theme of service, I wanted to let folks know about Central Studios (http://www.centralstudios.cn/) in Shanghai.
Opened in the last year by Rodney Evans, a very talented photographer in his own right (and a friend to boot), the studios are located just blocks from Xintiandi in the heart of Shanghai. Whether you need equipment rental, studio space, or production help, Rodney and his team will sort you out.
Central Studios recently kitted me out for a video shoot and made sure that I had all the equipment that I would expect to get in NYC.
Next time you have a shoot in Shanghai give them a shout.
All Shanghai All the Time! Ritz-Carlton Photo Essay
June 22nd, 2010Continuing the theme of my last couple posts I will inundate you more Shanghai. I know you can’t get enough. It is an Expo year after all.
Expo you say? Like Expo ’86 in Vancouver? Yes, that Expo.
In any case, without further ado, I give you a collection of Shanghai images that the folks chez Ritz-Carlton published in their ultra-swish magazine.

Conde Nast Traveler – Shanghai Feature – Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Street Food
June 22nd, 2010The July 2010 issue of Conde Nast Traveler has just hit newstands and you can see my ugly mug staring out at you from page 10 of the profiles at the beginning of the magazine. I shot a small feature for them that focused on Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s favourite street-food in Shanghai.
Now you ask, why does Jean-Georges have favourite street food vendors in Shanghai?!
Well, it is because he also has a flagship restaurant, Jean-Georges, located in the 3 on the Bund complex in Shanghai itself. Headlined for many years by Executive Chef Eric Johnson, it is now helmed by the very talented, and always relaxed, Ming Kin Lam.
If in Shanghai go and have a bite (or three). And don’t bother ordering anything off the menu – just have Kin put together an incredible tasting menu for you. Delicious.
Oh, and the street food?
Head to Sipailou Lu, near Yu Gardens and have a delicious pancake. Yum.
Now go pick up a copy at the newstand, or you can also check it out here: rowat_cnus_201007_eat-the-street
Conde Nast Traveler – ShangKong Feature
June 3rd, 2010I was fortunate enough to have a terrific feature in the March 2010 issue of Conde Nast Traveler. The Feature was entitled ‘ShangKong’ and focused on the two amazing Asian cities - Shanghai and Hong Kong. The former, Shanghai was my home for almost 8 years, though I now split my time between there and New York. You can take a peek at the low-res PDF here: rowat_cnus_201003_shangkong web
(PS – if this was in March why am I posting in June you ask? Well the blog and site are just getting up and re-launched, so you might be subjected to some archived material as we move forward. And current shoots too. Don’t worry.)
