I am so proud to be featured in the Communication Arts Annual Photography Issue. The company I am keeping is extraordinary. The image selected is one of my favorite images of Randy Couture. It really shows who he is on so many levels. Thank you to Randy for his generosity and to Comm Arts for selecting me. I am blessed!
I am really honored to be profiled in this month’s Osservatorio Digitale professional photography magazine out of Italy. Ezio Rotamartir interviewed me for the magazine. I was asked to submit photos which show my style and what I love to shoot, which really made me think… It came down to the emotion that is conveyed in a photo. Thank you to Ezio for writing such a great article and for asking such great thought provoking questions. It is in Italian, so if you don’t speak Italian you can always look at the images! I was lucky enough to have lived in Italy so know first hand the warmth of the people and am always thankful for my time there. Mille Grazie!
Over 750 applicants were under consideration for the 20 spots for our Shoot! On Location event on July 20th as a part of Shoot! The Day. The 20 chosen photographers will engage in a photo shoot based on five key image categories noted by image buyers as most depleted: active seniors, youth culture, family and kids, business settings and still life. The photographers will be led by expert instructors and armed with all equipment and staff for the shoot, including state-of-the-art cameras and lenses from Nikon, lighting equipment from MAC Group, with models, stylists, make-up artists and locations provided by PhotoShelter. Pretty cool right?
(drum roll, please)
Sometime shoots are just pure pleasure….and our shoot with Jane of Pilates by Jane was one of those! My first impression of Jane was that she looks like a Botticelli angel. She is as beautiful inside as she is outside. Jane is an amazing pilates instructor to some of Hollywood’s best bodies. We were lucky enough to have her great husband Craig visit the set and hang with us. Uber makeup artist Claudia Humburg did Jane’s makeup for the day, which was perfect! Some people you just want to keep in your lives and the whole crew from this day were keepers!
I love the wind! Everything from a gentle breeze that caresses, to a strong wind that takes anything you aren’t meant to hold. Wind is one of the reasons I have always loved having long hair. I love taking a shower, jumping on my bike with wet hair, and feeling the wind transform it into something airborne. I love driving with the windows down and my hair flying, filling the front seat with chaos. I especially love the wind that comes before a storm. It carries the smell of the rain to come, and the promise of change. Wind holds the force of nature, it washes over me and makes me feel alive. It makes me feel like I could almost…fly.
I spent a great day shooting a new lingerie line called t.santiago at Marina del Rey.The location was a beautiful tri-level house at the beach. We had such a fun day with models Ashleigh and Christina. The girls were great sports. At one point we had them climbing onto the roof so we could shoot with the city and beach in the background. I do love a game girl! What is really cool
is how my clients and friends evolve. Jordon who is the client for the shoot started as a model, and now is the client with his own company.
