Stay tuned for more updates soon, here from your favorite team at Vanessa Rogers Photography!
An exciting start to the year
The year has begun and what a fun way to kick-start the "Infinity year!" I have been working on many enjoyable projects and can't wait to show you what I've been shooting so far.
Ike Behar New York arrives to Miami
The successful menswear company that brings luxury tailored suits to a well dressed man in New York has finally made its way down to us in Miami for its new ad campaign, with no lack of that "Behar" touch. Pops of color combined with classic tailored suits give a warm introduction to spring.
Swimwear for Spring 2015
It's swimsuit season and these girls are definitely looking hotter than the sizzling sun! My thanks goes out to Wilhelmina Miami for collaborating with me on this project, as well as Nycole Sariol for styling this shoot for me.
Deborah Rosenberg
I was asked by Ocean Drive Magazine to photograph one of Miami's jewels of the Interior design world, Deborah Rosenberg. Her eye for combining textures, colors, and even scents when designing a home or space are so exquisite! It was really a delight getting the chance to photograph her.
Lost Boys Dry Goods
Another project that I was commissioned to shoot was photographing the owners, Randy and Brian Alonso, of Lost Boys Dry Goods, which is located in the heart of downtown Miami. Their family, which came from Cuba in the 1950's, to open a well known store called "La Epoca," were also located in downtown Miami. After their parents passed away, Brian and Randy decided to carry on the family tradition, by opening their own storefront, literally across the street from their parents old store. The moment you walk inside you are given a sense of nostalgia and family tradition, which was what the boys wanted to create in this store, homage to their own family and its traditions.
John R. Wood Properties
I had the pleasure of producing a winter ad campaign for John R. Wood Properties, a luxury realtor firm in Naples.
ENDING 2014 WITH A BANG
Hello my followers! It has been too long since my last post and I am very excited to tell you what I've been working on in the last couple of months including new editorial covers, a cookbook and plans to lead photography workshops in Canada beginning in the summer of 2016.
FLORIDA'S FIRST LADY
One project I was really excited to have been asked to shoot was photographing Florida's First Lady, Ann Scott, who also made the front cover of Naples Illustrated for the October issue.She was quite a wonderful and inviting hostess and I was honored to spend time getting to know her while capturing her essence and documenting her charitable and generous affiliations during our stay with her in Tallahassee.
JANETT EVANOVICH
For Naples Illustrated December cover, I was asked to photograph Janett Evanovich. If you don't know her, she is a New York Times best selling author, who is well known for her contemporary mysteries. Janett and her husband decided to make a movie, which is called "One for the Money" which stars Katherine Heigl. In the interview, Janett talks about the freedom she experienced once she made it, which gave her and her husband the chance to make a change in their personal lives.
SEA SALT COOK BOOK
One of my more comprehensive projects I recently had the pleasure of photographing this year was my collaboration with Chef Fabrizio Aielli creating his cook book called "Sea Salt." With influences from Italy, the Himalaya's, Thialand, and many parts of the wold, his recipe book shows you how applying creativity to your passions makes wonderfully savory and unique dishes.
PORT ROYAL JEWELERS
I was also asked to create a luxurious advertising campaign for Port Royal Jewelers jewelry line. I instantly knew what to do, creating an illustrious lifestyle campaign at Miami Beach. Using a yacht, and with the help of fashion stylist Michaela Vattimo, we had the pleasure of creating a timeless campaign that Port Royal Jewelers loved.
DIAMOND CUSTOM HOMES
This past fall, I was so pleased to help out Diamond Custom Homes with an advertising campaign that showed off the intimate elegance of their housing concepts for prospective home buyers. It wasn't hard to see why their advertisement said "Our Uncompromising Standards" as their attention to quality architecture resonates throughout the entire property.
BOTANICAL BEAUTIES
From the October Issue of Naples Illustrated featuring the Naples Botanical Garden.
TOPPING OFF THE REST OF THE YEAR
It was certainly a busy year here at my studio, and as we come to a close on the last days of 2014, I would love to show you some of the still life's that I had the delight of shooting over the fall. These ranged from trendy jewelry, combined with candy, to plate-ware, and food and drink.
New Cover shoot and feature editorial for September 2014
It's that time of the year again, This years Supermen of Naples, Florida have been unveiled and it was my joy to photograph this feature for Naples Illustrated's September issue for the third year running. Here are the photos from this years shoot at the Naples Zoo featuring the very accommodating animals from the park including the playful Giraffes, sleepy sloth and the newborn African Serval Kittens. It really was a blast shooting this in the entertaining surroundings of the old Caribbean gardens.

Nova Scotia, Lunenburg Photos & Travel Photography Workshops Summer 2015
This blog entry will be dedicated to my travels to the lovely town of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia in the neighbor to our North, Canada.
I've just returned from a rejuvenating vacation and photo excursion to the Unesco World Heritage town of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. I was hosted on this trip by Dr Will Brooks www.brooksofcanada.ca and his lovely wife Cheryl Lamerson and their wonderful four legged companion Sasha, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.

I was truly taken by surprise by the beauty of the landscape and architecture but even more pleasantly surprised by the kindness and welcome the people I met during my stay in Lunenburg. Lunenburg is a UNESCO world heritage site “brief historical synopsis” dotted with colorful facades, ramshackle lobstermen sheds and shacks, winding roads and pleasant temps. I instantly fell in love with the people and places in this lovely part of the world, so much so in fact that I've decided to return next year Summer of 2015 to lead photo workshops through Lunenburg and surrounding areas along with local guide Dr William Brooks. Stay tuned for more details of this exciting new professional venture and in the meantime, enjoy some of the sights of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.
Nannie and Susie Tanner of Black Rock, two of the most lovely souls I came across during my trip to Nova Scotia.

NBCnews.com , travel plans for HONG KONG & Nova Scotia, new client Fort Lauderdale Magazine
It's been a while since my last blog post but for good reason. May and June 2014 has been one of the busiest of my photography career and I'm hoping to keep this positive trajectory going. Of note as of late were two new clients, NBCNews.com whom I shot a portrait for in Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale Magazine which commissioned me to shoot their August 2014 Fashion spread and cover.
In other exciting news, I'll be traveling to Nova Scotia Canada in just two weeks for an 8 day photoshoot excursion. I plan to shoot a wide range of content from Lifestyle to Fashion and of course TRAVEL. I'll also be speaking to novice and semi pro photographers about my career, technique and photographic style. I'm also beyond excited to be planning a trip to Hong Kong China in August accompanying my good friend and amazing singer/songwriter Kitty Carmichael and her band where we plan to shoot a story about her travels there to perform for the summer at the Peninsula Hotel Hong Kong. Stay tuned for more details on this thrilling trip.
I also visited the Breakers for the Tasting Panel Magazine this month which is always a fun shoot given the beautiful and historic architecture of the Palm Beach area. If you haven't been, it's a must see.
Looking ahead I have 2 new cover shoots to unveil as well as a 3rd I haven't shot yet that I shoot annually and is always a fun and creative production. Stay tuned! Enjoy a few behind the scenes photos below as well as some scenes from my most recent work trip to New York City where I finally saw the completed Freedom Tower in Lower Manhattan.

Behind the Scenes Commercial Shoot and new fashion and food photography
It's been an exciting month in the world of Vanessa Rogers Photography. I was excited and honored to take part in a commercial shoot with the one and only Fiddler Films shot on location at their new space on Fifth Avenue Naples, Florida. It was interesting being on the other side of the camera and renewed my interest in what was once my passion (and still is) acting. It was a fun and challenging day with many talented people collaborating including Dani Taverna of www.dualityartistry.com , the fabulous folks at Philip Douglas Salon in Naples www.philipdouglas.com , the women of Naples Illustrated Magazine www.naplesillustrated.com and of course Lou Hernandez, Jason Tower and the rest of his amazing crew at The Edge Studio at Fiddler Films www.fiddlerfilms.com . This month I also worked with Jordon Culpepper, Miami model extraordinaire on some fun and vintage Hollywood inspired studio looks. As always Jordon brought many fabulous ideas to the table and I really love the way everything turned out. Here are some of the looks we came out of the day with. Enjoy!

Clyde Butcher 8 page Feature and much much more
This month has brought about quite a few new commissions and newly published work but the most anticipated for my studio is the Naples Illustrated Feature profiling the one and only Clyde Butcher, Photographer, Icon, Artist, and conservationalist known for his enchanting large format prints of the Everglades in Florida. We were honored to enjoy an afternoon of conversation and a world famous swamp walk with Clyde. Truth be told, I was a bit, let's say, HORRIFIED at the idea of putting my feet in a murky swamp but Clyde put me at ease and once the initial fear subsided the surroundings truly took me in and surrounded me with wonderful visuals in which to photograph. I even had the rare opportunity to view the glass on Clyde's 8x10 camera as he talked me through his process. I haven't seen a camera that size since my college years in New York City and I'd almost forgotten the image appears upside down. What an experience I will never forget, Thank you to all who helped make this epic experience happen. Check out Naples Illustrated's February issue on the stands now and at naplesillustrated.com online and enjoy a sneak peak here.

Another story published this week in Naples Illustrated Magazine for their Valentines issue is a lovely tabletop designed by the maestros at 50Fifty Creative Services in Naples and catered by Carolina Catering. A truly breathtaking scene and I was happy to capture it and share it with our readers. These fabulous artisans can be found online at 50fiftycreative.com and c3Kitchens.com . Here is the spread online and in print this month.

The studio has also been contacted by two newly acquired clients, Hertz Corporation and national beverage trade magazine The Tasting Panel which I'll share more about in later blogs.
Lastly I was asked to shoot a return annual editorial for the South Florida Market for Where Guidebooks. These would be found throughout the area in hotel guestrooms as a hard cover book. It's always a true joy to shoot these sort of travel assignments as it allows me to rediscover the beauty and to-do's in the Florida region. Unfortunately as most local Floridians will tell you, When you are busy and live in Florida and not working directly on the beach, it can be months before you see another sunrise or sunset rising or setting over the crystaline waters of the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico. Here's a photo to remind us all of what we are missing. Until next time....

The first fashion shoot of the New Year was all I had hoped for and more featuring fresh new faces from Mega Models Miami, Bruno and Jaqueline Bueno. I was blessed to work with the lovely and talented Bobbie van der Vlugt, musajewelry.com, styling a variety of designs from Hip E Boutique of Coral Gables. Also on hair and makeup was Allison Tolle of Designsbyallt.com . Shooting at the amazing Portfofino Tower, Miami Beach in one of their stellar Penthouses

I also had a great time photographing five of Naples Florida's Young Philanthropists for the January issue of Naples Illustrated Magazine in Clam Pass Park along the boardwalk from the new Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Naples leading to the lovely outlet of the long boardwalk path to the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy their lovely stories and photos here, first published in Naples Illustrated Magazine, naplesillustrated.com
Happy New Year 2014, Exciting things to come
Happy New Year 2014!
At Last 2013 is behind us, or at least behind me! My question is, Why don't they skip 13 in the calendar like they do on elevators, just sayin. 2013 was a year of great challenges and of great successes, not least of which the Time Magazine Advertisement among a slew of commercial photography projects and editorial features galore. I truly feel blessed to have made and maintained some wonderful friendships and business associates (all friends) this past year. Thank you all for helping make 20-"13" bearable :)
To get us caught up from my last blog post, I've been fortunate to work with the lovely and talented Cat Shell aka Kitty Carmichael and her band at the Regent Lounge Miami Beach. If you haven't been to their show on Thursday Nights at 10:30pm till your blurry than you have truly been missing out! Not only are they a fabulously talented bunch, they are just plain FUN! Run don't walk to their next show. I was blessed to work with Cat not once, but twice, I must have been a good girl this year! Here's a sampling:
Kitty Carmichael and Band, The Regent, Miami Beach, Florida USA December 2013
December's Editorial spreads were abundant including a couple of genre I seldom shoot such as this Jewelry spread styled by the stellar prop stylist Pamela Jean and published in Naples own Gulf Shore Life December Visitor Annual.
Of course I would be remiss if I didn't mention Art Basel 2013. My good friend and alumni Matthu Placek had a one man show at the YOUNG ARTS FOUNDATION featuring his 3D portrait of Marina Abramovic. To say I was proud and frankly blown away by my good friend is an understatement. He is one to watch. On that topic I hosted one of my dearest friends Abbey Drucker for Basel weekend. She also brought me on as a producer for a shoot with the Editorialist editorialist.com . Her shoot was ablaze with luxury fashions from the worlds top designers and their spring 2014 ready-to-wear collections. Here's a little behind the scenes photo of the artist at work.
Please stay tuned for an exciting announcement regarding a very new venture involving something I've always had a passion for and want to share with friends near and far, coming soon.
Cheers!
Meeting Clyde Butcher, The Naples International Film Festival and Season begins...
Last week I was honored to be invited by the Editor of Naples Illustrated, Teri Evans, to the Naples International Film Festival's opening night at Artis formally known as the Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts. Beyond the lovely premier of Romantic Comedy "Hank and Asha" from Indie filmmaker James E. Duff which brought plenty of laughs and even a few tears I was honored to meet renowned everglades landscape photographer Clyde Butcher. He was charming and old school, still using 8x10 camera as well as processing both his own film and prints, YIKES, and was more than willing to take time to talk shop. Even more exciting is the news that there may be a collaborative project on the horizon, stay tuned for more on that.
This week the unofficial beginning to the South Florida, Naples, Fort Lauderdale and Miami Season begins. I'm honored to be in attendance to HATS in the Garden at my favorite meditation spot and recreational area the Naples Botanical Garden, featuring the Marissa Collections Fashion Show. I'll also be photographing a group of Naples Young Philanthropists for an upcoming editorial. It's a productive and a bit insane time of the year but all worth it because I'm so grateful to be able to do what I do all year. Thanks to all my long time and new clients for helping make it possible.
Teri Evans Editor and Chief of Naples Illustrated and yours truly.

Moore Building Fashion - Throw Back Thursdays with Femme Fatale and more….
Newest Fashion shoot in Miami with one of the best crews a photographer can wish for. We had this photoshoot planned for an early Saturday morning in the Design District area of Miami and realized upon entry that the space was setup for a wedding. Needless to say, the final needed a lot of retouching to omit the dj equipment, chairs and tables but the end result was well worth the effort.
