Tiny Homes - Down East Magazine

When we got a call from Director of Photography Mark Fleming, about collaborating with Down East Magazine in a project about tiny homes we were super excited. We have been impatiently waiting to be able to share some of the images from the shoot with you. The shoot took us to several remote Maine locations, one of which could only be reached by chartering a small plane. The homeowners were all a pleasure to work with and hearing what they had to say about their small homes was as interesting as the homes themselves. Regardless of their different lifestyle choices it was evident that they were all proud of their homes and the resulting living spaces were the product of a labor of love.

To see more of these tiny homes pick up a copy of the current issue of Down East Magazine.

Behind The Lens - Down East Magazine

Last month we had the fortune of collaborating with Down East Magazine in creating images for their Maine-Made Gift Guide that will hit the stands on November 25th. We had a great time during the two day photo-shoot working along side Visuals Editor Mark Fleming, Digital Editor Laura Serino, Stylist Emily Hricko of Emily Elizabeth Events and of course my trusted assistant Chris.

The folks at Down East were kind enough to share with us the video from the shoot and I wanted to share it with you. The video was shot by Kevin Sennett who I thought did a great job and was great to have on set as well.

Keep an eye out for the December issue where you will find great gift ideas all made here in the great state of Maine.

Down East Magazine 60th Anniversary Issue Cover

This has been such a great summer for us here at Irvin Serrano Photography. One of the things that has made it special is that after seven years of living in Maine, we got our first cover on Down East Magazine. You can see our image on the cover of the 60th Anniversary Issue on newsstands through August.

I shot this image of The Bubbles in Mount Desert Island while touring the park with some close friends of mine visiting from away. In that way it holds a special meaning to me as a reminder of a great time spent with a childhood friend.

In this issue you will also find a piece titled "Making Tracks" about the state of cycling in Maine, written by my talented writer friend Joshua Bodwell. If you have not had a chance to visit Mount Desert Island yet, I encourage you to do so. It is a place you won't easily forget.

Down East Magazine Drive-in Behind the scenes

Last month we had the pleasure of collaborating with Down East Magazine to create an image for their Best of Maine issue. We teamed up with Down East's visuals Editor Mark Fleming who came to us with the concept for the shoot. Mark is a great photographer in his own right, so it was great to have him on set art directing since he didn't only know what he wanted visually but also understood what it took to achieve it.

I wanted to share a short behind the scenes video of the drive-in shoot. We were hoping to have clear skies but this being Maine, we weren't that lucky. So we had to improvise and make it happen regardless of the weather. At the end of the day, we were happy with the results rain and all.

I also want to thank The Saco Drive-in for allowing us access, Motorland Vintage America for providing the vintage car and our models Emily and Mike for their help. The video was shot by Kevin Sennett. We look forward to collaborating on future projects with Mark and the crew we had that day at the shoot.

Hope you enjoy the image!
