Breathe Carolina Alternative Press magazine cover

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 …

One Minute Warped Tour 2011 Portraits

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 …

Warped Tour Alternative Press Cover Composites

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 …

Portraits From Europe

I snapped all these portraits while I was out in Europe with A Day To Remember earlier this year. I really like taking these kinds of portraits, close up and simple. All of them were done on the fly in under a couple minutes with at least one speedlite, sometimes two. I used a white shoot through umbrella to diffuse the light and a combination or stands/ clamps to secure …

Yelawolf

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 …

Focus on Life

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 …

Warped Tour stories – part 2 (days 11-20)

__________________________________________ 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. …
