Magdalena Baczewska Poster
I photographed piano virtuoso Magdalena Baczewska for a poster for Columbia’s Italian Academy, and leaves in Inwood Hill Park two days later.
The idea to combine the two came while listening to Magdalena’s performance of Bach’s Goldberg Variations on harpsichord.

I combined this image of piano virtuoso Magdalena Baczewska with one of leaves photographed in Inwood Hill Park to make a poster. Listen to Magdalena's performance of Bach’s Goldberg Variations on harpsichord, and if you are in New York City on 18 November 2015 don’t miss her free concert at the Italian Academy.
Professor Raimondo Betti, Columbia University, New York City, October 2015
Raimondo Betti (Professor, Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics, Columbia University) stands next to the Cable Corrosion Monitoring System, a major research project he led at Columbia’s Carleton Lab.
Here is the poster I designed for his talk at the Italian Academy:
Emanuele Arciuli Poster
I watched Arciuli play on YouTube and ‘photographed’ him with Shift-Command-4+Spacebar + mouse clicks. After choosing a moment and feel, the rest of the drawing came together.
