Pasadena Weekly - Keanu Reeves

Pasadena Weekly called again and sent me off to photograph Keanu Reeves, Director Scott Derrickson, and two Caltech professors Sean Carroll and Joel Burdick. Off promoting his new movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still", Keanu and Scott stopped by Caltech for a pannel discussion about the movie and science. It got the cover story so make sure you pick one up!





Here are other shots I liked:

Old Warehouse Shoot

A good friend of mine asked me to come by her old ice manufacturing warehouse in downtown LA to capture the space before its torn down. The building was built back in the early 1900's and boy did it show! With the old building scent in the air, dust everywhere, and paint chipping off I could almost consider it a playground for me!

These are just a few of the pictures I took...

Garry Marshall: Verdugo Magazine

A few weeks ago Verdugo Magazine hit me up to photograph Garry Marshall on the set of his new play, Happy Days. He wrote "Happy Days" and "Laverne & Shirley", produced a whole bunch of hit movies, and acted in many many more. It was great to meet him and snap a few pictures! In the photo with him is Matt Walker. They are working together on the play Happy Days and to get them in the same room is almost impossible.

Eccola

Meeting Kathleen and Maurizio for a shoot with Angelino at their beautiful Italian furniture store, Eccola, they asked me to come back to photograph some of their upscale Italian furniture. I had a blast photographing them and had a good friend help, Luis Sanchez Alba, www.certainrisks.com.

If you are in the Glendale area you should pick up the August issue of Verdugo magazine. I was called to photograph this adorable coffee house in Burbank and more specifically there signature cappuccino. Romancing the Bean is where it's at. They are tucked in the heart of Burbank just off of San Fernando Boulevard shops and restaurant area. I'm definitely going back to this coffee house and you better believe I'm drinking there cappuccino.

Well, those of you in the area should definitely pick up this week's issue of Pasadena Weekly! Those of you who aren't go to there website, www.pasadenaweekly.com.

I got the call to photograph this cool bike/wheelchair at CalTech and it made the feature story! It was definitely fun to meet some of the students who have contributed there time and minds to create this bike/wheelchair. It is truly awesome. They have created a wheelchair that is life changing for disabled people all over, all out of mountain bikes. It is inexpensive to make and has already made its way to Guatemala. Read more about it in the paper...!

This is the bike/wheelchair.

Sheryl Nields Internship

On my spare time I've picked up an internship with amazing and inspiring photographer Sheryl Nields. She has been an inspiration to myself and my work so finding the opportunity to intern under her I gladly and giddily accepted.

I'm working at her studio and am seeing and learning so many amazing things! She has a flawless cinematic way of lighting her subjects and has an incredible eye for creating mood's with lighting, framing, and her unique environments. She has won a few awards one of which was the Third Annual Lucie Awards Fashion Layout of the Year in Angelino Magazine. She has shot numerious cover's, movie posters, and so much more. She is definitely somebody that I can learn a lot from.

Here are some examples of her work I love!
