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 …

__________________________________________ July 15th, 2010 (day 21) Toyota Pavilion At Montage Mountain Scranton, Pennsylvania The Toyota Pavilion was a long narrow venue. We were parked on one end and catering was on the other. I gradually woke up as I walked to catering, had to get some fuel for the day. Mai always got up extra early and not riding with Pierce The Veil made me forget just how early that …

I flew out to Orlando, Florida on October 13th for a two day photo shoot with A Day To Remember. This photo shoot was for all their new album cycle press images. I was stoked not only because this is one of my favorite bands to work for, but because my good friend/photographer Matt Lingo came along with me. I have never flown with someone else for work, I am …

I drove up to Fontana, California on September 26th to attend Epicenter – a two day outdoor festival with a stacked line up. One of the bands being A Day To Remember. I asked the A Day To Remember if I could come up and hang, they said sure and I was all in. I left San Diego the morning of the 26th and met up with the guys at …

I met Brian Buckley in 2007, while I was in high school. At the time he was tour managing Envy On The Coast. Come January of 2008, Brian and I took a road trip to Canada so I could photograph a few bands he was working with. We stayed in touch over the years and would periodically run into each other while traveling with different bands. Come 2010 Brian landed …

I have been working with the The Devil Wears Prada guys since I first met them back at Bamboozle in 2008. I was on one of my first assignments photographing them for Alternative Press magazine. I forgot my camera on their bus and was cameraless for a few hours until they could come unlock it for me. I actually did it on purpose so they would remember me…well whatever happened, …

As I mentioned in the first blog, we shot the album art and press images for The Devil Wears Prada‘s Zombie EP on separate occasions. My flight was scheduled to leave from San Diego, California on June 19th at about 10:00 PM-this meant, I was taking a red eye, my favorite. I prefer taking red eyes because it doesn’t waste a whole day just to travel somewhere, but at the …

I took a good month long breather-break kinda deal from photography, not by choice, but it was definitely worth it. Just needed time to relax and do random junk in California with some friends. I had a few photo shoots here and there, but nothing too intense. The only images I am able to post at the moment are my Mayday Parade shots. The shoot basically went down right after …

I was born in California, June 25th 1989 to be exact. And I decided to move back there (here) about two weeks ago, bought a ticket about fifteen days ago, and moved here about two week ago. Pretty spur of the moment, but relative to the rest of my life, this move was actually a very planned decision. It’s pretty awesome out here, and I am going to miss my …

A few days ago I had a shoot with All Time Low for their new album’s press images. I really like the shots and can’t wait to post them. However they are not edited/released yet, so behind the scenes images will have to do for now. We did the shoot at the All State Arena, right outside of Chicago in Rosemont, Illinois. I only had a few spots to choose …
