My great friends over at LensProToGo have just launched an amazing new partnership called Viewfinders. It’s an opportunity for anyone and everyone to interact and learn about some of the greatest talents in our industry. To learn more about the whole thing, check out their recent blog post. Click here to check out the Viewfinders site (oh, and by the way, I built the site for them!).
I recently finished a really interesting and great project for Buckingham Browne & Nichols (BB&N). This shoot involved a lot of pre-production, pinpoint production (shoot day), and much time in post. This was the first kind of project I’ve done like this and it was a really great experience and can’t wait to do more like it! A few SERIOUS shout outs go to my brother, Jeff Tetrault, who helped me right from the beginning with concept and design and was the lead writer and consultant for me. Meg Rodney was a great assistant director and camera operator. Sheryl Lanzel did amazing as production assistant and production still photographer. Scott Venable is the knight (on Gaelen the horse) and Frank Hildebrand did the voiceover. The entire video was shot using Sony FS100 and Canon 5D MkII and edited in FCP7 & Soundtrack Pro.

That’s right, my office has moved! Possibly the shortest move ever….same building, same FLOOR! I’m now located at 681 Main Street #3-27 in Waltham. I’m sharing with the great Leah LaRiccia! Stop by anytime, my door is always open! (And yes, I’ll do some non-camera-phone pictures soon).
I don’t know about you, but this scares me…just a little…
“The camera that turns light into living pictures.
This year, Lytro will debut the first light field camera for everyone. OK – you’re not everyone. You are a beautiful, unique snowflake. And you deserve an amazing camera that lets you capture life’s singular moments, like baby’s first steps not second, with maximum magic and minimum hassle. No more fighting with dials and settings and modes. No more flat, boring, static photographs. With a Lytro, you unleash the light.”
So a camera that needs no dials, no focusing, no nothing….you focus AFTER you take the photo….huh? wow…. well, click here to get the nerd explanation. But let’s suffice it to say that Lytro could quite possibly be a came changer for the photography industry. Take a look at the Lytro image gallery to become a believer–just click around on the image to change it’s focus point.
I have recently began working with a not for profit organization in Boston called Hospitality Homes–a great organization providing housing for family and friends of patients seeking care at Boston area medical centers. The organization has a few donated apartments in and around the Boston area that have completely empty walls. I’m looking to provide them with some amazing photography and art so that the nice people who stay in these apartments–some for long periods of time–can have inspiring art to look at instead of empty walls.

Details:
Deadline will be Sunday, May 1st. Please email me directly–brian@briantetrault.com–if you are interested and let me know what you’ll be donating. Drop offs and shipments can go to our studio: 681 Main Street #3-39, Waltham, MA 02451 (Google map) or I can arrange to pick up your pieces.
Thanks so much in advance for your generosity. Let’s make these homes warm and inviting for people who are far from their own homes and are going through stressful times.
The above photo was taken for a print mailer as part of a Mother’s Day campaign. Liz at Someone Creative is working on the new print collateral and website for Hospitality Homes. Here’s a link to the current website: www.hosp.org. Stay tuned for the amazing new design!
Hospitality Homes mission:
Hospitality Homes provides temporary housing in volunteer host homes and other donated accommodations for families and friends of patients seeking care at Boston-area medical centers. Since 1983, Hospitality Homes’ unique, home-away-from-home lodging option has provided a caring response as well as relief from emotional and financial challenges for these individuals and families.
Here is some recent work I did for my good friend Liz. Her and her husband were selling their house and needed some better photos than the agent gave for the advertising. Enjoy!
Once again, setup today in ‘studio a’ shooting for Yummly with Jim Hooper and Chef German Lam of Glam Foods. We had a great day as usual, stay tuned for more movies!
Welcome to my new website and blog! Well, the blog has been going for a little while, but be sure to check out my new website! There’s obviously some big changes going on with my business, stay tuned for even more! There will be more and more blog posts so be sure to bookmark my blog or follow my RSS feed!
In the meantime, here are some new pictures of my shared office space I’ve been in for just over 6 months now. I share this space with Liz Abbate Hyman from Someone Creative and Lara Woolfson from Studio Nouveau, enjoy!
I’d also like to send a shout out to 2 of my favorite people, without whom none of my new web stuff would have come to fruition: Liz at Someone Creative, the best designer anyone could ask for, and Jim Webb (Snacksize) whose patience and understanding when it came to developing my site could try a saint. Thanks guys so much!!
Was walking down the street last night and I saw this…you’re seeing right, those are geese. Not only is it saying that Spring is definitely here but also an interesting design….
