fire fire fire


This was a way cool assignment for a magazine cover. I got to shot the Assistant Fire Chief at a training center. The burn room can really put off some heat and smoke. 2 AB's with reflectors, warm gel on one and a deep red on the other.

3 day catalog grind


A 3 day catalog grind. I can just get in a the zone and crank through this stuff, of course I have to stop every few hours and clean up the studio. Most of the products glass and silver, fun for lighting.

Rock the runway


A little pro-bono work, Rock the runway. There were 10 studio photographers, at first we were in 10x10 tents in the parking lot, with the sun setting behind us and the wind lifting the tents off the ground. We had alittle photographer mutiny and ended up inside.

free day


Had a free day last week and got together with Fuse Talent and Meschantes Couture. It was a super windy and overcast day. I tried to go for an almost night type of shot. I wish my camera would sync above a 250th. Had the AB's out, if they blew over not a big deal, main and backlight. Got afew studio shots, Profoto beauty dish and grid for backlight.

shooting shooting


On assignment for an article on a family that "shoots" together. I haven't shot a gun since my days in Vegas 15 years ago. I had a good time shooting those skeet out of the air. An overcast day, just tried to add some snap with a main light and a backlight.

Remember those headshots


Remember those headshots from 4 years ago ? We just hired some new people and want to match those shots. For me this is always the hardest thing to do, match an existing shot. This was back before I was snapping photo's of my set-up's.

group shots


A set-up from group shots up at UNC. I did some event coverage aswell. The shoot went great and the event ended @ 250 people left at the same time and tried to get out of the parking deck with only one attendant, I sat in the car for over an hour waiting to get out......
