New work, Dance

I recently collaborated with stylist Aeni Domme and dancer Chris Morgan on a shoot in the studio. Chris is a great subject and was in Phoenix working on the Arizona Theatre Company’s Production of Ain’t Misbehavin’.  Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot.

New work, January 2010

This is a shot from a recent test shot back in November with model Jade Jossey from the Agency Arizona, Michele Lee (HMU) and Casey Hagarty (wardrobe). This is a very underexposed and grainy shot but I like how it turned out.

Archive: San Francisco

I am starting to mix in some old photos to the blog from my archive. Most of these are going to be photos that I like but have never really used for portfolio or currently don’t have in my book. The following images were shot in 2008 on a trip to San Francisco…

New work, Sarah Kirsch, part 2

This is the second part of the Sarah Kirsch test that I did with Michele Lee as the Hair/Makeup stylist. We were trying to get a more athletic feel rather than beauty shots and these are my favorites…

New work, Sarah Kirsch, part 1

These are a few shots from a recent test with Sarah Kirsch working with Michele Lee as the Hair/Makeup stylist. Love the hair in both shots…

Phoenix Magazine Cover, December 2009

I recently photographed a cover and feature for Phoenix Magazine on downtown Phoenix called “Love your downtown.” I collaborated with Art Director Brian Goddard on concepts and locations and worked with Shauna Thibault on styling.

The primary model was Lolli from Ford/Robert Black Agency and Brad Reed was the supporting talent in a few shots featured on the inside of the magazine. It’s the December issue of the magazine and it’s on newsstands throughout Arizona.

David George

I recently photographed a musician friend of mine, David George, while he was on tour in Phoenix. I have known David for years. We met back in Kansas City in the mid-late 90’s. I photographed two album covers for his band Moaning Lisa in 2000 and 2003 and numerous promo photos over the years.

He’s been living in Los Angeles since 2004 and I don’t see as much of him these days. He is currently recording a solo record that is due out next year. While in Phoenix he needed some promo photos to promote upcoming shows in Los Angeles and Kansas City. Here are my favorites from the shoot…and check out his music here.

New Work, November 2009

Here are a few looks from a recent test with model Sarah Hatcher from Ford/Robert Black Agency.  We experimented with a number of different setups and this was one my favorite since it gave me quite a few different shots and options for layout purposes. Michele Lee  was the Hair/Makeup stylist.

Prime Living magazine, November 2009

In early October, I photographed another magazine cover for Prime Living a luxury lifestyle magazine for the Houston, Texas market.  Below is the final published version that has just been released.

People Magazine in Sedona

I recently traveled to Sedona, Arizona to photograph an assignment for People Magazine. The magazine was writing a story about deaths that occurred during a sweat lodge at a resort south of Sedona.

My subject Shawna Bowen is a substance abuse therapist who was one of the first people on the scene the day of this tragic event. This portrait of Shawna is my favorite outtake from the shoot. She was a great subject and very kind to allow us to go back to the area where the event took place. The photo below is the road leading down to the valley where the resort is located.

The magazine ran the story in the Friday, October 30, 2009 edition. More information on the story can be found at various locations online.
