Portraits

New artwork released from my album shoot with Hanson.  Yet again we had another amazing photoshoot filled with good times, big laughs, and birthday cake.  Shot at Solar Studios in Glendale.

Hanson – Get the Girl Back

After our album art shoot the day before, the band asked me to play a role in their new music video.  How could I resist bartending elbow to elbow along side Nikki Reed and Kat Dennings!  Was so much fun working the other side of the camera

World debut @ 2mins 11secs!

Some of LA’s notorious DJs (Hoff, Chuckwild, Kiddkitt, Aaron Colbert).  Part of the Agency DJ line up.

Artist Hank Willis Thomas on the cover of Daisy James, a magazine put out by an amazing school, the Duke Ellington School of Arts.

It’s always a breath of fresh air when you meet someone as cool, calm, & pleasant to be around as Satya.  I asked him to me in Silverlake at a friend’s house with the intention of making the shoot a hang/walk/talk session around the neighborhood.  And that’s exactly what we did.  We got pizza, climbed a hill, picked oranges off a tree, snuck into a neighbor’s garage, sat on the roof, smelled a pot plant growing in a neighbor’s backyard.  We just hung out.  His upcoming film, Midnight’s Children, comes out in November.  I’ll definitely go see it.

Shoot with LA band IO Echo for Paper Mag. We shot this at my friend Tim Biskup’s house, aka the La Canada County Club.  Tim so graciously volunteered his BBQ skills and did up a feast.  Next time we’ll actually get the chance to jump off the roof into the pool!  A special thanks to Tim and also to Xavier for letting us destroy his room and stomp on his valued possessions for this iconic shot.  Thanks to the band, Ioanna and Leo, for being so cool.  And thanks to the crew too for all the hard work.

Here’s a video I shot in collaboration with artist Adam Harteau with his family.  We travelled up the coast and spent a few nights living out of their Westy, shooting in and around Big Sur.

“Hello and good day.  Please deposit your firearms at the front counter in order to provide a safe and orderly planet. There are to be no more handguns, rifles, grenades, rocket launchers, RPGs, land mines, or WMDs while occupying this world.  This is an order, no disorderly conduct will be tolerated.  This is not a joke.  I was put in charge.”

Dug up a photo of Tyson Ritter I took from a few years back.  Never published it or shown it the light of day.
