Birds of Paradise

21 Aug 2014 / 1 Comment / in Uncategorized

When everything comes together for a photo shoot, it can be like a beautiful symphony, with each section, from the strings to the horns and percussion, all in beautiful harmony. My most recent editorial shoot is a great example – although, as when writing a symphony, there were definitely road blocks to overcome on the […]

I don’t know what it is, but there’s something I really love about shooting beauty photography.  Using color, expression and attitude to portray a an idea or concept is a lot of fun.  In addition to that, its always great working with team members that are amazingly creative. I had the opportunity recently to work […]

Pastel Perfection

Its been quite a while since I posted some new work.  It’s crazy how much time can pass from when a shoot happens and when you finally finish the images.  Narrowing down the final images, processing them, clean up in photoshop and then finishing off the colors takes a tremendous amount of time.  After months […]

The Canada Connection

About a 5 hour drive north of Vancouver , BC in a town called Kamloops you’ll find the Ra Hair Salon and Spa owned by an amazing and creative hairstylist named Ken Kozuki. I first met Ken, as well as some of his stylists from his salon, during an educational photo shoot back in 2011 […]

The Portrait Project

The line between model and actor has always been fuzzy for me.  As a photographer, I’ll give direction to my models in regards to ways to express themselves; happy, silly, angry, serious, flirty etc.  It is very rare that a model is asked to portray themselves.  I’ve started to ask my models, at the end […]

Metallurgy

     Its always fun when you have a really strong team on a shoot.  It makes the shoot seem to flow smoother, you laugh more and you really get to enjoy your craft.  Such was the case with this shoot I did recently entitled “Metallurgy”.  Two of the team members, Tanya DeJesus (Makeup Artist) […]

Diamond In The Rough

     In October of 2012 I was hired for a photo shoot at the M Resort in Las Vegas.  I was going to be out there for a week, but most of my time would be taken up with pre-production and casting.  Despite the busy schedule, I would have at least one free day […]

Contrast Ratio

I dont know what it is, but really love the old gritty black and white jean ads that were run by Calvin Klein, Jordache back in the 80’s.  They were raw, sexy and just sucked you in. I’ve wanted to do my own take on that style of photo for quite some time.  Recently, I […]

A Night Of Rememberance

12 Sep 2012 / 0 Comments / in News

Last night I took the opportunity to go and do something I have wanted to do for years.  Photograph NYC while the 9/11 memorial lights were illuminated.  I tried to prepare myself before I ventured out into the concrete jungle for the barrage of emotions I would undoubtably feel, but the effort was rather futile.
