Tea Room at Caddo Lake

Right across from the Johnson’s Ranch is the Tea Room. This dilapidated shack that looks like something straight out of a gruesome horror film used to serve as a speakeasy during Prohibition. Appearances of the Tea Room include the opening credits scene of the television show “True Blood”, in the feature film “Gator Bait” and in a number of Disney films and productions. I have mostly seen straight on photos of the place, so naturally I wanted to get a different and unique angle close in and showing the side! This print is also available in black and white.

Swamps are naturally beautiful, when the fog is so thick and the fall colors are just “ripe” it is and amazing show to witness in person. Breathtaking and humbling comes to mind. Click on each photo to open the gallery where you can purchase prints.

Headshots New Orleans© 2019 Alfonso Bresciani

After having shot headshots for the past years with mostly available light ( daylight) I have decided to start using some of my professional lighting system that I have been using to shoot actors in the film industry. The images are more cinematic and will make you look even better! You’ll be the judge! Head on over to my cinema headshots page  to see all the details! The film industry has kept me very busy for the past year and it looks like it will be even better this coming year, but I will be able to shoot some cinema headshots in between jobs.

2014 Krewe of Zulu Pictures !

April 1st 2014

What an incredible Mardi Gras it was, my love/obsession for shooting with the rain came through this 2014 Mardi Gras day and on top of that I really got up and close to my all time favorite Krewe of  Zulu for some unreal pictures! It was VERY cold and miserable, ( at least for New Orleans standards) but nothing great comes easy in life, does it…I suffered more than you can imagine, trust me on dat,  but some of the Zulu photographs are in my opinion simply amazing! I’ll let you decide! ok?
