Here is a spread I shot for UCLA Magazine of urban planner Eric Morris! I love shooting with them, especially since we always have so much fun. This time we shot guerilla-style in Downtown LA. No permit, just a hand-held mini strobe, a tripod, and my 5D. Please click for larger version.

I took a little road trip yesterday to photograph artist Kelsey Brooks for Nylon Guys Magazine. Ollie came with me for company and we had fun like we always do. We photographed Kelsey in a gallery in La Jolla called Quint Contemporary Art. If you are around that area, Kelsey’s show will be up for the next couple days.

Photos to come later on, but in the meantime here is a camera phone video Ollie took of Kelsey doing back flips! (He also did head stands!)

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and a very happy New Year!!

I finished a new photo for This Is A Photoblog – the assignment was “Renaissance”:

Also, Wonderful Machine recently highlighted my portfolio, and posted a video tour of my portfolio book on YouTube. You can watch it below if you’d like to get a sense of how I present my work for potential clients:

I work with my dad’s design Cyberia Media (link) quite often, doing photography and video for various projects. This latest project was really fun. I did most of the photo and video (the rest was stock) for a video called “Fed Up With Hunger” for the Jewish Federation. The Beastie Boys donated a song, and everyone worked hard to make this video great. The video can be seen on the Jewish Federation’s website (link), or below!

XCVI just added their Spring 2010 line to their website. I took the photos last week (check out this link to see my previous post with all the photos)

This season we photographed XCVI in a made-up magical garden. I love working with them because they are always up for trying new and fun ideas. I had so much fun on this shoot. Please click the image to see the 20 photos XCVI chose for me to retouch. Thanks!
