American Railway Explorer campaign
I am excited to present an advertising campaign that I recently photographed. The campaign is for American Railway Explorer, a company that offers luxury train excursions across the United States and Canada. The tour packages will be starting in summer 2011. The campaign just launched in website and brochure form with creative direction by Arizona based agency E.B. Lane.

The final images were shot in two parts: I photographed a number of different models in studio to compliment scenic shots sourced from stock. In addition to the creative work done by E.B. Lane, the post-production and retouching was orchestrated by Randy Geske. Below are a few shots of the brochure and the website is live… Check it out here.


Agency: E.B. Lane

Omni + ad campaign featured on LA Times Blog
The ad campaign I photographed last year for OmniMount called Omni + is featured on the LA Times Blog. I love the reference to the Unhappy Hipsters site, not a dig at all but a huge compliment to me. Bring on the existential hipster jokes….

And one more shot from the campaign that is on the LA Times blog but not on my site… See the entire campaign on my archive: Omni + campaign

New work, February 2010
I am currently photographing work for a self promotion campaign. I photograph a lot of personally assigned work between paid assignments both to stay creative and also to use for promotional purposes. I started planning the project last fall and have collaborated with stylist Laura Flagler on all aspects of the project including: wardrobe, locations, props and styling.

So far in January we have already shot at a number of locations with several different models and things have started coming together. This shot is of Kelsee Wirtjes with The Agency Arizona. The project isn’t finished yet, but this is a sneak preview of what I am working on for epromos and print promos for 2010.
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 LeClaire from Ford/Robert Black Agency and Brad Reed (also with Ford/RBA) 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.
Sarah Hatcher from Ford/Robert Black Agency
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.
