Jason Cates

November 21, 2009 – 12:52 am

Jason Cates has been someone I wanted to work with for some time. We always seemed to misconnect as both of us traveled in and out of town. As you can see the wait was well worth it!
This shoot was so energizing for me. I love the way all of the colors and the light [...]

Robin Cook

November 17, 2009 – 12:39 am

Robin Cook oozes sex appeal. His eyes are as striking as his physique. He was kind enough to join our crew for two days for a baseball shoot… as you can see hes a scene stealer. I couldn’t help but make him Mr. August in my 2010 Cool Down Calendar.

Lester

November 6, 2009 – 12:13 am

While I was in the middle of shooting a wedding, something I hate to do, I met Lester, a college soccer player who during his summer break was picking up catering jobs. I hate shooting weddings not for their difficulty, but for their predictability, however, meeting Lester was far from predictable.

Lust

November 3, 2009 – 12:00 am

Andrei and Julius asked me to do a shoot for them.. it was way outside of the box for me, but I enjoyed the challenge. Shooting a lust series for the two of them sparked my interests because I could use both my photojournalistic and lighting skills at the same time. Just as I had [...]
