Olexys

November 9, 2009 – 12:54 am

My first time working with Olexys, a former military pilot, exceeded expectations. My second time working with Olexys really taught me how to shoot a head shot. His Daniel Craig looks combined with two reflectors and a shallow depth of field really worked out!

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.

Clint Anthony

I must have known Clint for three months before I asked the full time engineer to model. This just goes to show you some of the best models can be right under your nose. Now if I only had a little more courage to go up to more random guys at the gym.

Ty Morgan

When you look at a pic of Ty Morgan you see a lot of things, but the one thing that sticks with you aren’t his abs or pecs, but his eyes.

Boutique

October 19, 2009 – 12:07 am

Often times I come up with a shoot idea and then contact make-up artists. However, when Make-up Artist Brandon Phillips called me about a shoot he wanted to do, I was all ears. The retro boutique he lined up was amazing and the pictures we came up with pleased me equally.
