...back home

I've been going home a bit more these days and what a nice treat it is. Being around my friends and family has been great, but even greater is taking pictures of them all! Here are just a few from the bundle.





That's Legend...just turned 1.

Emily Moon: Fashion Designer

I was introduced to Emily Moon to photograph some of her clothing line and I couldn't have been more excited! She is a local fashion designer here in Los Angeles and her design is off the charts awesome. Her and I definitely share a passion of graphic shapes and we came together and created an awesome fashion story.

Angelino Magazine: August 2008

I got the call to shoot this story on food foragers who are hired by the city's top chefs to hunt down hard to find items, as well as particularly high quality ones. It was an awesome shoot and I got to meet some awesome Chef's here in Los Angeles.



Here it is printed in the magazine!

CMYK #41

Before graduating I thought I'd submit to CMYK one last time! ...and one of my images got chosen! Check it out!

Verdugo Magazine: August Issue

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.

Pasadena Weekly!

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!
