A LOT of Great Photography

Sometimes words are not enough.Photos help relive a particular moment intime and capture an emotion or feeling.Through photos, we as viewers are able tosupplement the words we read with thepictures we see. CBS Seniorphotographers Monty Brinton andCliff Lipson, along withphotographer Sonja Flemming, doan amazing job in capturing theimages of television shows that areimprinted into our minds.

CBS shows like Gary Unmarried,CSI: NY, Big Brother and Accidentally onP u r p o s e h a v e t h e a d v a n t a g eo f having these incrediblephotographers at their fingertips onthe Radford lot. Paula Marshall fromGary Unmarried says about Brinton, “Feelingcomfortable in front of the camera is amust. Whether he is shooting behind thescenes, or on a gallery shoot, I never worry.Being a wannabe photographer myself Iappreciate how hard it is to get that perfectphoto. Just call Monty!”

Brinton has worked underwater onNCIS, Cold Case and most recently CSI: NYwith Hill Harper. “Shooting underwater iscompletely different,” says Brinton. “I’musing scuba gear, breathing underwater,and remaining very aware of mysurroundings so I don’t drift into thecamera or get in the way.”

During Brinton’s 19 years at CBS he hasspent a good deal of time globetrotting forSurvivor and The Amazing Race. “I’ve beenvery blessed,” muses Brinton. “I’ve been toplaces and done things people don’t usuallyvisit or do, so that’s cool.”

magazine, for which he has shot ten coversand thirteen fashion features. He recalls hisfavorite cover/fashion feature as the August2009 issue with Neil Patrick Harris. “We shotin Rome, Venice and Paris, with the bulk ofthe fashion photography done on a railwayplatform while awaiting the arrival of theVenice-Simplon Orient Express. Thisparticular train is the only existing train inthe line that is refurbished, maintaining theoriginal travel experience with its 1920sluxury feel. That was truly an amazingexperience,” said Lipson.

Lipson has also worked with theShowtime hit Tracey Ullman’s State of theUnion for all three seasons, photographingher many characters. This year is actuallythe first that both Lipson and Ullman wereon the Radford lot together. Lipson was

brought in to photograph Tracey for thekey art to promote the series.

Photographer Sonja Flemming, on stafffor one and a half years, is the newestaddition to the CBS PhotographyDepartment. This past summer shephotographed the group and single shotsfor the summer season of Big Brother.Flemming also enjoys the convenience ofshooting for CBS shows currently taping onthe lot, but certainly does not mind makingthe occasional trip to places likeSacramento, where The Mentalist filmed onlocation, or Las Vegas, where she shot a CSIcrime scene with the skyline in thebackground.

Thanks to the CBS photographersviewers and fans get a unique and excitingwindow into their favorite shows!
