Today I’ll be posting shots from my first shoot with one of my latest clients, Yacine. He’s a local MMA fighter, and we have some really cool stuff coming up in our second part of our shoot! Seriously, it’s going to be epicly cool. And epicly isn’t even a word… There might even be a little video content up around then.
Ok, now onto the shoot. We had a great time, as always! I will stop using that line one of these days, I promise…

Never fear, for I, just like Johnny 5, am still alive! I’ve been extremely busy lately, and haven’t had as much time to blog, since I’ve had so much stuff to process, from weddings/engagement shoots, to portrait sessions (one including an MMA fighter), to band stuff, so I figured I’d drop in, and say hi. Why am I a little behind, you  might ask? Here’s what’s happened lately:
My father has been in the hospital for the past week and a half, and has been having major kidney issues, and has …

We had such an awesome time this weekend! I was the Director of Photography for The Vehicle Reason’s “Firestorm” video shoot this last weekend, and it was quite an amazing experience. I learned so much in just 2 days about lighting a big room (we had a 18 point light setup at one point), and it is something I’ll never forget! I was also in charge of lighting for this video, and collaborated with Tripwire Films (a partner and good friend of mine) on this particular video.

I love still photography, but am starting to branch out in other forms of media, since lighting is so universal, as I’m learning. No matter what the source, lighting is lighting! I’m in love with photography, and am loving getting to have it be my job, more than…

I was faced with my band, once again, wanting a new promotional shoot, since our lineup had changed slightly… But, unlike last time, they seemed to want something a little different, with a “classy” feel. To quote them exactly, they didn’t want “just some band shot in an alley”, so I had to do a little planning.
After a few days, I starting thinking… How awesome would it be to have a shoot, with our band, in the back of a limo? The look I wanted was this: Our band, after …

It’s finally here… My shoot with Mother’s Anthem!

Well, part one at least… hehe, we had such a blast shooting these! Here’s the story behind the set (story style, of course… what else is there?):

It was a warm day… A day, unlike many others, for Matthew and Daniel had quite the task set before them: building that of a set. They looked deep into the woods, through many paths, and with their four hands, found the darkest of the fallen branches, and brought them back to the opening of the forest. With their new found discovery, they attempted, many times, to fill Daniel’s car and trunk with these branches, and then, after roughly an hour, drove, illegal style (check the following pictures to see the 2 foot long branch sticking out of the window), all the way downtown, to their humble studio…
