For the past 4 years I have been the official photographer of MAC/PCVB Global Fusion Festival. The festival is an all day free event that features live performances, ethnic foods and cultural items. Their website for 2012 is now live.

Not sure if I'll be documenting this year's event, but I'll be attending either way. You can see all the images I captured for them on their website above. The images above were taken by Paul Loftland Photography except for the indian lady in pink. The images feature Estelle, Melanie Fiona, Brenda K. Starr, Meek Mills, and others.

NEWH AC Chapter Tour of the Madison

This week I had the opportunity to tour "The Madison" located in Riverside, NJ. This is a beautiful restaurant and catering facility. It's like a gem tucked away in a small town in South Jersey. The design of Wendy Holden is absolutely gorgeous. I was amazed at the attention to detail.

NEWH AC Chapter had their monthly tour at the Madison. I took a few photographs. Click the play button to view images. There is a soundtrack so if you're at work hit the mute button in the player. You can also click thru each image.

Philadelphia Skyline from the 33rd Floor

Philadelphia has a beautiful skyline from most viewpoints. However this one is very unique as it was taken from the 33rd floor of the Loews Hotel. Its 360 panorama which explains the distortion. The colors are beautiful and the view is amazing. ©Paulloftland.com

Tale of Two Cities

A panoramic story of two cities. Philadelphia,PA and Camden, NJ. While one strives the other is stagnant. Separated by the delaware river. This image tell the story of the two cities. Ironically the best view if from the Camden side. Where the property values are 1/5th of the Philadelphia side. Both waterfronts are beautiful. Its once you get to 3 blocks past waterfront is were these cities differ greatly. This image was taking on the Ben Franklin Bridge. This view is not possible with a traditional camera as it captures and panorama of almost a 180 degree view. Some artistic distortion is used to show the image perspectively. I grew up in Philly, my wife grew up in Camden. I love both cities. In fact my studio is now in Camden on the waterfront. I get to see the view of Philadelphia everyday. ©Paulloftland.com

New Website for Professional Headshots

I took my sessions idea and ran with it.  I have created a website especially for headshots and portraits.  The idea came from the photography sessions that I have with my clients.  My clients normally get one great headshot but there are many other really good headshots they can use for their social media networks.   I also wanted to give small business an opportunity to get headshots at rates similar to my corporate clients who get discounts because they have more than 6 employees for me to shoot.  I will be offering special headshot rates on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month in my studio here at the Victor Lofts on the Camden waterfront.  If you would like to take advantage of these special rates call me for an appointment.

Portrait "Sessions"

A little while ago I had the opportunity to shoot Dr. Harvey Snyder for South Jersey Magazine.  I was going thru the images from the session, and realized that in addition to the shot the magazine chose, that there were some pretty good images that Dr. Snyder didn't get to see.

I have this book from a famous celebrity photographer called Sessions.  Its basically a couple camera rolls from his portrait sessions.  Hence my idea to take my portrait sessions and do a collage of images and call it sessions.

By the way, this portrait session took less than 30 minutes as does most of my portrait sessions.

This collage you'll be able to see how the portrait session went.

For social media this is great because you could use a different portrait for everyday of the month and have it automatic update you status when you change it.  What a great idea!
