Outtakes from my shoot for Maxim magazine.
Here’s an expanded set of images from my day shooting for Forbes Magazine recently.
I’m very happy to say I recently did my first shoot for Forbes Magazine. This is the double page that opened the story. More to follow.
Another new portrait.
Some new portrait work up on the site. I’ve been looking for a heavy textured canvas background for ages! I finally found it, at Lowes. Cheap as chips and it looks awesome!
More and more I’m being drawn to classic portrait paintings as inspiration for some of my photographic work. I find it captivating the way people were documented. Presented in a neutral context. A semi-reality. It is, in some ways so honest, and yet so false. The image is created, manifested in the painters vision. The subject, in limbo.
It’s hard to put into words all the things that have sway over portraits I produce. I guess honesty and falseness are there in equal parts as varying elements, but I hope always a reflection of myself. My painters vision.
Having quiet spells as a freelancer is a funny thing…on the one hand I drive myself insane stressing out about when the next job is going to come through but then again, it always ends up being suppressed by an unquenchable desire to shoot. It’s an itch I’ve got to find a way to scratch and it’s really the only thing that calms my mind. Doing what I love to.
Worry less. Shoot more.
In a continuing effort to shoot more and more portraits I was fortunate enough to have american screenwriter and film director Glen Pitre sit for me. He was a really great guy and great to shoot. Thanks Glen!
Recent portrait. I’m excited about shooting some more later today!
I recently partnered with a great local charity that help people rebuild their lives. Bridge house do a fashion show featuring clothing from their thrift store that are been “tweaked” by local designers into fashionable outfits. I helped out by shooting a rough and ready look book for their silent auction. Here are just a few of the shots. Please loan some support and check out Bridge House / Grace House.
