“World Famous” Cigar Bar & El Tiante Cigars Ad Appears in the Red Sox Spring Training Programs!

Posted in: Lifestyle | Promotions

I woke up this morning to a tag on Facebook from Daniel Tiant, one of the co-founders and CEO of Tiant Cigar Group. It was this image!! Working with Tiant Cigar Group has been really fun. We have become good friends in the process of making images – which has always been my goal. To me, you cannot be as effective as a photographer if you cannot connect or form relationships with your clients.

In this particular shot, we set up right in the “World Famous” Cigar Bar humidor, styled the shelving with 1929 Castiano Blends (Richie’s father’s birthday blend) and El Tiante Cigars. Simple and easy set up. One alienbee and one white shoot through umbrella, triggered with a hotshoe on camera. Kerry, my boyfriend/assistant did a fantastic job on the post processing. I think we are going to make a pretty good team.:)

Anyone in the Southwest Florida region should go check out the new Jet Blue Park off Daniels Parkway in Fort Myers, FL because it’s awesome. While you’re there, grab a program and tell me what you think.;)

El Tiante Cigars Promo | Tamiami Cigar Bar | Naples, Florida

And…. we are back after a long hiatus away. Here’s to more photos soon!

I had such a great time photographing a great client: Tiant Cigar Group. Daniel and I have been discussing this type of shoot for his family’s brand of cigars for a few months, but we couldn’t find the time to fit into his father’s schedule. We work around many clients’ schedules if there are certain circumstances: Daniel’s father is Luis Tiant, a former Red Sox championship pitcher and a very busy man. We made do and it worked out great! We chose Tamiami Cigar Bar for a different take on the typical cigar photos I have been known to do and Tamiami Cigar Bar blew me away! It’s absolutely a gem for photography. Danny, the bar owner was super accommodating. If you ever want a choice of 4 different VIP rooms – Tamiami Cigar Bar is your place!

We had to light in very small quarters, so we packed pretty small. Only using the Alien Bees for the chess game set, the rest were small lumopro LP 160 flashes, usually just using one. I really enjoy working with the Tiant Cigar Group and they make a pretty mean stick. If you are a cigar lover like myself and Kerry, you most definitely have to try El Tiante Cigars.

Enjoy more photos after the jump!
