Wonderful Machine

Yep, thats right, I am now being supported by Wonderful Machine! It is a marketing engine for commercial photographers to introduce a broud range of high-quality clients to photographers. Every month they set up meetings with advertising agencies and magazines to showcase the photographers they rep. I've kept my eyes on them for a while now and was very impressed by how much work they put into promoting their photographers. I sent out an email to introduce myself and my work and got the good news that they wanted me on board!

Listed by city, you can find me in Los Angeles and also under the catagories Home/Garden, Fashion, and Fine Art!

This months shoot for Orange Coast Magazine had me feeling like a kid again! And what is more childlike than bubbles and pillow fights?!

Meeting Shana and her family I instantly knew we'd all have a blast! Check out our tear sheet!

New work published in Rivera Magazine! This is the sister magazine to Angeleno except this one is the San Diego mag!

Photo shoot was with fashion designer Kendall Zundel. She was such a doll to shoot and we got some great shots of her inside her Downtown LA studio.
