This is your friendly neighborhood photographer, Dan Saelinger. Dan’s done a great job of carving a niche for himself in the industry with his still life and conceptual editorial work. He’s also a cheerleader for other photographers- he writes a super helpful blog, and teaches at SVA and Maine Photographic Workshops.
I first touched base with Dan over on Shoot! when he scored a PDN cover; check it out.
And this time, I got to go into his studio. I thought you might like to come with, so I brought my snappy cam. Voyeuristic fun, here we come!
Entering the studio... Saelinger originals are on the walls. The studio is in the heart of Chinatown.
In case clients get snacky, there are lots of goldfish crackers. Also things to read.
Bandaids and Peroni!
Flair.
Requisite Donkey Kong relaxation corner.
Down-to-business corner.
Saelinger prints lying about... I love this egg shot.
More fishes.
These are to be used in an upcoming personal project. They scared me a little.
Lighting, lighting!
The shooting area was lined with plastic. Tests with liquids were happening later. Sort of felt like the set of Dexter (awesome).
Back view. Red Hassy w. a Phase One back.
Pretty red side view.
Images from the shoot go in there, they tell me.
Fun! And now for some Saelinger finished products.

[...] Had a very busy day today and yesterday so I’m taking the easy way out by shirking my blogging responsibility and forwarding you elsewhere. The fabulous Ms. Rachel Hulin stopped my studio the other day and popped of a few photos that she posted on her blog today. Both my studio and hair were in a bit of disarray. See more here. [...]
