I photographed Breathe Carolina a few months ago in LA. Our first location was a Danny Worsnop’s place in LA and our second was The Forge in LA. What was supposed to be a 4 hour shoot got cut down to about two hours because of some last minute problems that were beyond out control. Anyway, here is what we pulled away with. The cover shot actually took us a …

Ever wonder what it’s like to shoot a band, on stage, in front of 55,000 people? Well, here ya go. I attached a GoPro to the end of my Canon 24-70′s lens hood and filmed my day of shooting. I am not a great video editor by any means, but the content is there! To see all the photos from this shoot, check out this blog The response to the …

These are some random portraits from Warped Tour last year. I shot them for a project originally, but they ended up just being practice. I also edited them a crap ton just to see how it would look and to learn some new techniques. A bunch of band dudes at the end of a 2 month long tour. I shot half of these by the tour buses and half on …

Alright I know it has been awhile since my last update, so I got a bunch of updates for you all at once. First off, new site, custom made by Forefathers. The blogs have some catching up to do so please excuse any of the linking mistakes that might happen. Alright, now that we have gotten that out of the way, here is what I have been up to… I …

My assignment was pretty straightforward. I had to shoot a total of 8 different front men and composite them together on two different covers. The theme was “We Are Warped” and I would be shooting the artists in five different locations on five different days. In addition to each front man’s cover image, they also had to have two interior images for their article. This was my first full composite …

I snagged a shoot with Yelawolf a few months ago. He had a show at a small teen center in San Diego. I really want to start working with solo artists more, so this was a step in the right direction. I didn’t know much about Yelawolf prior to getting this shoot. Once I got the e-mail saying I was confirmed I did some research. From what I gathered beforehand …

So I started using Nik Software tools a few months ago. I am usually against filters that do a lot of work for you as I like control- but Nik does a good job of making the filters swift, …

It has been awhile and I apologize for the lack of updates. Over the past few months I have been trying to step everything up and pull all my sites together better as well. The Lens Bracelets took off more than I ever expected and as a result a good amount of my time I would have invested in blogging/ working on my DVD –went to the silicone circles. Regardless …

__________________________________________ July 5th, 2010 (day 11) Verizon Wireless Amphitheater St. Louis, Missouri I woke up at 4:00am, we were still in the parking lot- this couldn’t be good. I went back to sleep. I woke up again at 10:00am, why hello parking lot, you are still here. Our bus was broken and we couldn’t get going until late. Driving during the daytime is something that seldom happens on Warped Tour. …

I shot about 15,000 images over the course of 47 days while I was on tour this summer. I picked a little over 800 of my favorite images and a couple thousand words to go with them- and created this blog entry. I didn’t edit many of my images while I was on the road, nor did I write any of it- I did it all when I got back …
