Make-up artist Brandon Phillips called me a few weeks ago and told me that he wanted to try something new. He wanted to use his airbrush and stencils to demonstrate how he could take someone who looked my a man off the street and turn them into an leather daddy or a gangsta. Oddly enough, I was going to call him and ask him to work with me on some leather themed shoots to broaden my greeting card collection.

Robear S

May 8, 2010 – 8:06 am

After I went to Houston for the soccer shoot, I decided to return and do a 1-on-1 with model Robear S. After a long drive all over the west side of this Texas town, we finally found a soccer net with a nice background.

Soccer in Houston

May 4, 2010 – 12:06 am

I recently decided to go to Houston to try out the talent there. I decided that soccer would be the theme of the shoot and before too long I had 8 guys jockeying for position and screaming in celebration.

I recently went to St. Louis to shoot a basketball tournament. While I was there, I decided to fake a track meet with Ramon N and Davis T.

Adam Schwel

January 8, 2010 – 12:36 am

It took quite a while to set up a shoot with Adam Schawel, but it was well worth it. The 22-year-old is a real trooper for putting up with 40-degree weather and a stiff wind during out shoot.

I first spotted Justin at the gym. I am always nervous approaching people on the street because I think most people will expect I am coming on to them. ‘No really…. I AM A PHOTOGRAPHER!’
