Conversations: Photography from the Bank of America Collection

Currently at the Museum of Fine Arts is an Exhibit called Conversations: Photography from the Bank of America Collection. I haven't seen it yet but it sounds really interesting. It features portraits, still lifes, landscapes, documentary images, and experimental abstractions by more than 100 different artists, grouped thematically to create visual “conversations.” Nineteenth-century works are compared with modern, European juxtaposed with American, close-ups paired with distant views, and staged subjects alongside documentary. The exhibition is selected from the wide-ranging art holdings of Bank of America, one of the largest and most comprehensive corporate collections of photography in the world. They feature some great photographers. Can't wait to check it out. Thanks for stopping by Darren Pellegrino Photography. We provide commercial and wedding photography in the Boston area. We also provide portraits and corporate headshots at Boston Creative Headshots.

Darren Pellegrino Photography: Brides Choice Award!

I'm definitely not one who likes to toot his own horn if you know what I mean. Because of that I was reluctant to do this post but I realize that when awards or recognition come your way they can instill confidence in others. They often speak to your credibility, reliability and quality. So I figured I would post my recent 2011 Brides Choice Award. This is my third BCA in as many years from the WeddingWire network. Here is what they say is deserving of the award. "The annual WeddingWire Bride's Choice Award recognizes and celebrates excellence in quality and services within the wedding industry as determined by recent reviews and extensive surveys from over 750,000 newlyweds from the WeddingWire community." So that's it. Enough about me. I'd just like to say thanks to all who gave incredibly positive feedback from working together over the last year. I really appreciate it and I'm looking forward to a great 2011. Thanks for visiting Darren Pellegrino Photography and if you're looking for a wedding or commercial photographer in the greater Boston area you can reach me at dp@darrenpellegrino.com.





Darren Pellegrino Photography: Balanced Heath

Balanced Health is located on Chauncy Street in Boston. Instead of me explaining what they do here is a quote from their website. They are a "mindbody healthcare company dedicated to providing evidence-based mindbody therapies that are proven safe and effective to complement traditional medical and clinical care." I don't really know what that means but they do it and do it well. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating and they have a beautifully decorated space right in downtown Boston. Here are some of the images I shot for them recently. For more information about commercial and wedding photography drop me an email at dp@darrenpellegrino.com.

Darren Pellegrino Photography: Langham Hotel

I just shot some images for the Langham Hotel in Boston. It's a charming hotel in downtown Boston's financial district. Given the size and intimacy of Boston it's in a great location to take in some of the great sites and dine at some of Boston's fantastic eatery's as well. It just outside Post Office Square. Close to Faneuil Hall, The North End and The New England Aquarium among other things. The staff was a pleasure to work with and they have a great team to help you explore the city if you're a tourist. The hotel has some great dining options as well. Cafe Fleuri and Bond Restaurant. I haven't been to either to recommend the food but Bond is super chic and with a great bar scene. Here are a few images from the shoot that show what Langham has to offer. Thanks for visiting dp Photography. If you're looking for a wedding or commercial photographer in the Boston area you can email me at dp@darrenpellegrino.com.

Enjoy!
