New York TimesPhoto Shoot with Snap Productions

On Friday July 25th, the New York Times visited our studio for a fun life styles shoot. They took advantage of everything Bennett Media Studio has to offer from the kitchen and living room to the downstairs production area. They even utilized the roof and the beautiful weather we were having. Photographer was John Ragel.

The morning light was perfect for John’s style of shooting.









The downstairs area was home to production, styling, wardrobe, makeup, and catering. Makeup artist Bryan Lynde styles model, Miss USA contestant Catherine Kim








In the afternoon the crew headed to the roof for a real New York City feel. Music added to the atmosphere. The view wasn’t too bad either.

Ice Ice Samsung

Part of Samsung's Holiday in July was a two 3000 pound ice sculptures, created by Okamoto Studio in Brooklyn. The ice setup began at 5:45am on Wednesday and Thursday. They built the sculpture from pre cut and shaped blocks right in the living room. After the cocktail party on Wednesday, they took down down the sculpture and started again on Thursday morning. With over 20 trips up the elevator, you could say that was a lot of ice.

Set up in the morning
















The ice sculpture fully set up. The sculpture included Samsung products frozen in the ice as presents. Samsungs mp3 player, the pebble, even started as Christmas tree ornaments.












While the room was a bit chilly, it created quite the atmosphere with in the living room.

Cool Products from Samsung

From Camcorders, mp3 players, and televisions, to demonstrations on how their backlit LED lights make a superior quality, Samsung showed it all. There was even a non disclosure room. Sorry no photographs on those products. Lets just say, “look out for Samsung.”
