Wanderlust in Tantalum

December 4th, 2011

Wanderlust (a fashion editorial I shot at an abandoned mini golf course – and which I blogged about here) is featured in this month’s Tantalum magazine.  There is also a pretty great interview with my stylist, Ja’Niya Walker.

Last week I had a last minute test with Danielle.  We went out to the beach and climbed around on some rocks.

I am the “cutting edge of the youth movement”, according to the cover of this month’s Digital Photo Pro.  I was kind of floored when, last December, the editor emailed me telling me they wanted to feature me in the magazine.  I was interviewed by Amanda Quintenz-Fielder, who wrote a really great article (she also writes for Rangefinder which I read all the time).  Good things are happening right now.

AVA Magazine

November 3rd, 2011

As I mentioned in my last post, my most recent fashion editorial was picked up by AVA magazine (started by two gals in Norway).  The editorial is called “Waiting for the Argonaut” and was inspired by Medea and Jason from Greek mythology.

I had originally planned to shoot the story on the shore of the Salton Sea, in the middle of the desert.  I rented an SUV, got a tent, and drove my team the 3 hours to the Salton Sea.  This is where I should mention that we just happen to plan the shoot for the hottest day of the year – it was about 115 degrees.  The day started off fine but as soon as we got the the shoot location and had unloaded all the gear, I came down with more than a mild case of heat stroke.  Needless to say, we drove back to Los Angeles without shooting, and in retrospect I’m glad it happened to me and not one of the models.  BUT this meant I needed to come up with a new plan – and that plan is what you’ll see in the story.  I think it turned out much better than the desert location.

Tantalum magazine

November 2nd, 2011

Over the last week or so I’ve had work in 4 different magazines.  Giuseppina (which I blogged about in my last post), Digital Photo Pro (which I’ll be writing about in the next couple days), AVA magazine, and Tantalum (an online fashion magazine).

An editorial I shot earlier this year (along with an interview), is in the current issue of Tantalum.  Here’s a little preview…

Angelina

October 25th, 2011

It’s been a busy couple weeks.  I photographed M83 for the cover of WHOA magazine’s January 2012 issue (so it will be a while before I can share those images), shot a fashion editorial with a visiting stylist, worked on some lighting tests for a music video, and had a handful of test shoots.  One of those tests was with Angelina.  Not only did it mark her first photo shoot but she is also the youngest model I have photographed.  Working with her was awesome though and she has a haunted look about her (in photos) that I really love.
