Did you guys see the Farmers Hawaii TV commercial “Clap” during the Superbowl?  We photographed Jake Shimabukuro on set during the filming.  The production was an all-nighter, from 8:00PM to 5:30AM at Aloha Tower.  Aside from the crazy schedule, it was a fun shoot, and we got some great photos.

“High Note” was another cool set to work on.  Actually, anytime we get to drop coconuts and bust up cars… it’s a good day!  Kari got a shot of me doing my best “Hulk smash” impression.  We just had way too much fun…  To see more of the photos we’ve been doing with Jake, look for the huge poster outside the Ward Theatres, or visit the Farmers Hawaii website.

Chef Alan Wong’s new book, The Blue Tomato is now available at his restaurants and online!  It took many early morning photo sessions at Alan’s King Street restaurant and long hours in photoshop to finish our shots.  In the behind the scenes video, you can see Kari and I working like crazy – just to get the photos right.

I’ve posted the Book Trailer Video and a few of my favorite pics.

Most people think of us as wedding photographers, but about half the work we do is commercial projects like this.  To see more of our advertising and editorial photography, visit davidmurphey.com.  The Blue Tomato was an awesome project and one I’m proud to be a part of.  To order the book, or for more information, visit Watermark Publishing.

Saw this neat sign on the way to a wedding at Hualalai.  Love the Big Island!
