Katie Eischen is an amazingly beautiful and talented stunt woman!  In a previous post, I put up some shots of her as self promotion that was a little more main stream.  Something she could submit to stunt coordinators and agencies....but we wanted to do something different this time around.  So we counter cultured the last shoot into a dark and edgy/beautiful shoot.  The bathtub shot is part of a series that that I am working on currently which you will see one of these days.  Until then, enjoy the pictures.... *Make-up by Mara Rouse

Thanks to the ever faithful Emmy Magazine for sending me out to The Cat Ranch where Marc Maron holds his podcast WTF.  Marc was cool enough to let me shoot where ever we wanted which worked out great.  With a sausage in hand, Jon Glaser was the featured guest on the day's podcast.  It was for sure something to be remembered.  Look for the image in the April/May issue of Emmy Magazine.  And incase you were wondering....I didn't let any cats out....

About 3 months ago, I came up with a promotional concept to send to AD agencies, magazine publications and anyone else that might be interested in collaborating together.  Personally, I feel like we live in a culture of instant gratification where everything we could possibly want is at our fingertips waiting for us to access and explore.  I wanted to bring back the mystery and excitement in self promotion.  So....I created a mailer that is made up of 5 parts.  The first 4 promos have a simple drawing on the front of an element from my homepage on my website.  On the back is addressed the the recipient with...

I got the privilege to do a couple spreads in the latest issue of Emmy Magazine.  What a great team of people who run and operate this magazine!  Had it not been for the smoggy sky and the never ending summer, I would have thought I was in the south.  Thanks to everyone who has made me feel so welcome knowing full my obsession for the obscure.  I look forward to more work in the near future....for now here are some shots from the issue!

I got the chance to photograph Lisa D'Amato, the winner of AMNT's All Star competition in promotion for the new perfume Dream Come True created by Hatch Beauty.  When I was a kid, my dream come true was to be a pilot who owned a pet shop.  It was the only career I could think of considering that collecting Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles wasn't going to pay the bills.  I was super fortunate to be able to photograph something so fun...and even though I am not flying an airplane or selling a gold fish...I am doing something I love and that is a Dream Come True.  Check out some of the photos and a video...

Sometimes I come across an element that interests me to no end.  For what ever reason, this motel sign was just that.  I think it has to do with the character in things that have experienced life.  There is something tragically beautiful in things that are forgotten and old.  Being a nation of consumerism....we do just that all the time.  The funnest part of doing my old people series wasn't the end result but rather the time I got to spend with people who have lived life.  People who had experienced the greatest joys and the deepest sorrows that shaped so much of who they are today.  The...

I got a chance to shoot the band Beta Wolf before they went to Japan to play the Summer Sonic Festival.  They are some really great guys who genuinely love life, music and people.  The shoot was in light of billboard promotions in Japan for the festival.  It was pretty exciting doing a shoot knowing that it is for a billboard.  Right now Beta Wolf is on their way to Japan.  Hope you guys kill it in Japan!
