TAPE magazine

May 14th, 2012

Last month I did something I haven’t done in years – I had a model come over and we shot – just her and I – no makeup, no hair, no wardrobe stylist.  I shot in a much more lo-fi style than I normally do – and I really enjoyed it.  Recently I’ve found myself going back to my photography roots – and I learned photography on film cameras, without using Photoshop.  While I did shoot digitally, I also ran a roll of colour slide film through my Pentax and then cross processed it.

Throughout the month of April, I had also been in contact with the editor at TAPE magazine – after shooting with Angie I sent him over some proofs and he picked up the series for the second issue!  Not only that, but Touchpuppet (an awesome fashion blog) posted the editorial as well.

Here are some images that didn’t make it into the magazine (NSFW after the jump)

A few photos from a recent commercial shoot with model, Sasha Sheldon.  All shot within a 15 minute walk from my front door.

Marley

April 12th, 2012

About a year ago I shot with Marley for the first time. Both her and I have come a long way over the past 12 months and it was nice to be reunited and do a shoot with a completely different vibe.

Carolyn

February 13th, 2012

I’m working on a new project of sorts – stripped down portraits of models – no hair stylist, minimal makeup, the model’s own simple clothing.  I want it to be about the girl and not all the “glitter”.  This is my first attempt.

Genevieve – chapter 2

February 5th, 2012

Last August, I photographed Genevieve (which I blogged about here).  We both recently got hair cuts (hers a much more drastic change than mine) and so it was time for some new photos.

M83

January 17th, 2012

Back in October I shot M83 for WHOA magazine’s January 2012 cover story.  The issue dropped today and it looks awesome – check it out!

This was one of those situations where I knew about the shoot weeks in advance (although no date had been finalized) and I had a bunch of ideas floating around in my head but as the days passed, the shoot kept getting pushed back and the amount of time I would have with him kept shrinking.  At the end of the day, I photographed Anthony at his rehearsal space in Hollywood and I had an hour with him (including set up time).  I ran though all my ideas the day before and I ended up shooting a half dozen different setups.  A few days before the shoot, I had been playing with some new lighting setups and I ended up doing some long exposures while “painting” with an LED light on a string.  I then combined the light painting images with some of the portraits (you can see the result of one of those images on the cover).

A few images that didn’t make it in the magazine are after the cut.
