C&C California..

latest Advertising for Watercult

we shot one freezing day in Malibu.. burrrrr... can ya tell? I think not. ;-)

NY Marathon portraits

Just so you know I shoot more than just models and fashion. I have an
eye for documenting events that I come across in my life. One day in
November last year, I cruised over to 5th Ave. and watched the
marathoners run by.. here a few of my favs

should be hittin the stands this week.

I was asked by a friend to shoot a 30 some + page supplement for a
very well known magazine to show off my
vocabulary of styles. A test to prove the editor in chief that I can
shoot beyond my beloved style.. I want celebrities asap!!
Here are a couple, non tearsheet pics to chew on

a new AD that came out

Sara Gore Reeves introduced me to Kara Ross. One of the nicest businesswomen I have met in my career, not surprising since we both hail from the Midwest. We clicked perfectly and the imagery shows. A great ad campaign! Thank you Sara!

formula studios

Formula provided a great studio for a few days, and a great window to shoot the passerbys.. LOVE IT!

Jesus Juice Coature????

yea.. right!! So I am walking along 125 going to staples to get the black foamcore for
my presentation and waiting at the cross walk, I notice out of the corner of my eye, this image. I am like cool!!.. In my hood? than I read jesus juice? that's a GREAT fuckin name! and than i read coature.. How fu*kin awesome!!! not couture, by COATURE! genius I say! Genius I want to shoot all their campaigns! Someone tell them!
Fantastic name and great advertising!

Maryan Swimwear

I shot the advertising campaign for one of the lines from Maryan Swimwear. Lucky enough to work with the owner and her daughter whom will take over the company at some point. We shot on a small uninhabited island in the Caribbean a couple weeks ago. Busted out the crazy video hi def HD camera that I had no idea how to use and shot some beautiful poetry. Soon to be edited by my good friend Adam McClelland who has edited big screen pics for Abel Ferrara among others. It was two beautiful days of sun and gentle winds.. Here are a couple screen shots that I can share.. the film comes later... and yea if you are wondering.. we had this old range rover brought in and that was a huge production, but not my mess.. fun day

been too long.. missed the fam

so much is going on in NY at the moment and I am just back and about to leave again.
My friend Andy at 'what's the jackanory" will be live blogging this week at the New York Photo Festival, of which i will not be there.. In pre-production all week and shooting Friday-Tuesday. Than into another job and fianlly off to Belize for 10days on another assignment. And I wonder why I don't write more. Is ther a iPhone app for blogging on my google hosted blog? If anyone knows of one, let me know.

What up? Nylon Mexico came out, still waiting to see it! It seems you can't buy it stateside and no issue from the powers that be yet? What gives. Toying around with my book.. Shooting for it! Which is awesome! But again it all takes time..

I just pitched a huge campaign for a major company. First time ever having to story board and pitch 4 divisions of one brand and sell them my idea. I would be the Creative Director, Art Director and photographer. A dream of mine and fingers crossed I may have scored! I was in the mix with a couple AD agencies! And I came out on top! Makes you feel good to know that all your hard work, effort and hours putting together an idea and presenting it can work out! Positive Vibrations!

Sitting here waiting for an owner of a jewelry company to give me a shout about our shoot on Saturday. SO much to do and so little time. I think that's how it always is, last minute can boost creativity 100 fold or at least it does me.

Enough with my babbling.. I must be off.. Let me see if I can find a few pics.

iggy through the loking glass

too long

I have been on the road since Obama was elected shooting more personal art work. On the plane, in a car, sleeping in dodggy hotels from time to time working on book ideas. here is a couple pics from the month.

the layout process

The layout process is never fun for me, I rather dislike it. I always want to shoot and than walk away and let my creative team take over. Does that ever fully work out? No. You have to be involved in the whole process after the shoot has happened. This photographs is a glimpse of art of my process. Page layout.. gotta love it

can you beileve a 3rd?

the only reason I lay this one down on ya is because I am shooting all week and my computers might totally die and it may be a tine bit of time before I can release more imagery. I wish I had more food photos! this will have to do.. another ad campaign image.



VOTE OBAMA

2 posts 1 day. weird for me.. just trying to play catch up not ketchup

another never seen image. I can't tell you when or where or how or why.
my secret and you will know soon enough. Just have a look. It's a shining moment for me. My craft is strong and the proof is here. I am hungry and gotta cook some pasta.
and please oh please vote Obama! The hairless mole man and tina fey can't be allowed in the white house. So tell everyone, vote Obama. Seriously
