Erno is a skilled craftsman in working with metal such as copper for roofing. He has achieved a meisterbrief in Germany and has started a company called Copper Exclusive. They work on finials, copper or zinc roofing, and even train others in European roofing techniques.
Erno clears out his workspace to start welding
Erno hired me to come and photograph him in shop. He spent the time welding, measuring, and more. It was a chance for me to use my big studio lights as well. To this point I have been photographing primarily natural light and this was a chance to get creative with the big studio lights. I even tried hiding a light inside of one of the finials.

I’ll be working with Copper Exclusive on their branding, logos, designs, website, photography, and more. I am stopping my freelance design for any other company. I’m going to be focusing more on photography and Copper Exclusive is the one exception.
