New work, March 2010
Here is a series of shots from the self promotion campaign I started in January. Again these shots are from the collaboration with stylist Laura Flagler and the talent is Daynalyn Wain from The Agency Arizona.
We shot a number of different looks and there are several more shots that will surface as I use them for promotional purposes.
Running with the bulls, in Utah?
Last week I traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah for an editorial shoot for Kiplinger’s Personal Finance. After the shoot I came across a scene that was completely unrelated to the shoot, but I thought was interesting….
It was a quick day trip for the shoot and the story for the magazine will be published in May. I will post tearsheets here after the magazine hits newsstands.

Pizzeria Biancho for Everyday, with Rachel Ray
In print this month is a 2 page feature for Everyday, with Rachel Ray magazine where I photographed Pizzaria Bianco here in Phoenix during December.
During the assignment I spent time with owner/chef Chris Bianco and also photographed the line of people who gather 1-2 hours early to get a spot in the restaurant when they open.
I also shot each of the different wood-fired pizza on the menu and photographed the atmosphere in the dining room during dinner service. Above is the final layout of the spread in the magazine and here are a few favorite shots.

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, Dance
I recently collaborated a conceptual shoot in the studio with stylist Aeni Domme and dancer Christopher Morgan. He is a great subject and we wanted to capture some dance movement while allowing the photos to have a sort of other worldly feel.
Christopher 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. You can view more from the shoot in the online archive: Dance
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 was my favorite shot from the session…
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. These images are available for licensing in the online archive: 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…
