Hugh Stewart shoots Susan Boyle, star of Britain's Got Talent, for Harper's Bazaar in her first major magazine interview.  The images have shown up everywhere causing quite the stir.  Check out the video to see Hugh in action!!!

It came as much of a shock to us as to everyone else when the call came in that Gourmet and Cookie were closing.  It was not because we had a number of photographers that had jobs lined up in the calendar - which they did, or that Marcus Nilsson had just returned from a week long shoot with Gourmet - which he did, but that we couldn't believe they had met the same fate as Domino.  If you want to lament with the rest of the world, visit http://thankyougourmet.com - There are a number of posts commenting on the beauty and style of the photography used, one of them was particularly interesting: "... The magazine turned food photography on its head.  There was a richness about their photos.  They worked with photographers whose work is very sensual, and that became their house style in a way.  I think there was a love and respect of pictures and you see that on their pages.  It felt very passionate.  You looked at the pictures and you were inspired to make something." - James Dunlinson, design director at Martha Stewart Living

David Sykes shot this "light breakfast" for a personal project - it has been featured and raved on a number of blogs over the past few months such as aphotoeditor,  swissmiss, sayyestohoboken, and core77 to name a few.  David has continued his food series with the latest "spaghetti and meatballs" shot with a barrage of gym equipment (including socks and towels for the cheese).

A little behind the scenes action shot of Lee Clower as he interacts and just hangs out with some of the kids on one of his recent shoots.  It makes it a little easier to understand just how he gets such an amazing response from the kids he shoots... they LOVE him!

On the last day of a recent ad job in NYC, Hugh Stewart brought his talented daughter along.  Matilda helped take the last shot... giving artistic direction of course.  Looks like she may be the next addition to the JMI roster!

[caption id="attachment_59" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="the corner of 22nd street and 8th ave"][/caption] Who would have known it would take an entire month to catch back up after our third event at CONNECTIONS NYC.  It was such a great experience!  Two full and jam-packed days of meeting new clients and catching up with old ones.  There was such a great turn-out, despite the torrential downpours that plagued the second day of the event.  Its crazy that it's over after all of the prep that goes into it... before you know it next years will be here!

[caption id="attachment_40" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="MGM Grand - Las Vegas"][/caption] Just another day in the life.... James Merrell spent three days in the sun - and sometimes waste deep in the pool - while shooting the MGM Grand in Las Vegas with the ad agency Cramer-Krasselt.  This was happening at the end of February... when it was still FREEZING and gross in NYC... must be nice.

[caption id="attachment_15" align="aligncenter" width="408" caption="Tyler Florence"][/caption] Shortly after New Years day, Marcus jumped on a plane bound for LA for the start of his latest Macys ad job... finishing a few weeks later in NYC in mid March.  Four shoot days and seventeen chefs later.. we begin seeing them in all major publications.

Recently Marcus spent a few days upstate shooting an upcoming cookbook... of course he makes a few new friends.  Not too sure the pigs will make an appearance in the book or not... or in what form...

[caption id="attachment_23" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="JMI welcomes Nathan Devilliers"][/caption] On April 8th, 2009 - at 1:10 am - Frank and Helena welcomed new born baby Nathan Devilliers Herholdt into the world, and we are SO excited to meet him!!!

since it IS 2009 - we, the girls at judith miller inc, have decided to join the rest of the 21st century and start a blog.  we're pretty excited about it.  apparently everyone is doing it.  at first we wondered if it was something that we should do - sort of like admitting that we get excited when we hear an old New Kids on the Block song.  do people actually do that?  however, its quickly become one of our guilty pleasures... right up there with reality tv, celebrity magazines, and pinkberry.  hopefully everyone will enjoy reading some of the posts even half as much as we enjoy posting them.  as we dive into the world of blogging and we become bigger and better bloggers... go ahead and send us some of the blogs youve become addicted to (because lets be honest... this is a bonafide addiction).  our next step - twitter... stay tuned.
