Shoooooootz Madison •_____•

This is Madison, a girl I work with at Surf Ride. She has an amazing personality and makes shooting really fun. She looks killer in black too. We shot a bunch of clothes this day and after we were all done, I grabbed my film camera and burned a roll. Shot with a Canon EOS 1 + 50mm.
Keep an eye out for Maddy in the future, and ladies, remember to shop at Surf Ride... DUH!

Shoooooootz LA •_____•

Some outtakes from a Gnarle shoot up in LA. This was at Taya's house in Manhattan Beach, one of my favorite places in California, with Taya, Ali, and Eddie, some of my favorite heemies.

Lately the weather has been mediocre in Southern California.

Bree

A few weeks ago, Bree showed up at my studio with a 4 pack of Red Bull and a sympathy card. This girl is a homie for life and I am forever grateful for her. Here's Bree inside my studio writing music and contemplating.

Derek

Here are a couple portraits I took of my longtime friend Derek Johnson. There's a lot of empty white space underneath this sentence which I could fill up easily on Derek's awesome personality and achievements, but I'll keep it really short and sweet.
Derek and another good buddy of ours, Aaron Lieber, came up with a product that will keep your wetsuit safe and clean when you are changing. I'm not going to write up a bunch of shit that will try and sell this thing. I'm just going to tell you from years of experience, I've torn and ripped suits numerous times changing on the asphalt. If you want to know more about what I'm talking about then click this link and check out Surf Grass Mats.

Here are some digital ones, but I also shot a couple with my 35mm.

 

 

LDS Preview

Here's a few shots from Labor Day weekend. There is a possibility that was the best south we've had in years.

Dom foto

My buddy Dominique just built a portrait photobooth that uses a ringflash. I tried it out tonight. It's pretty cool!

Ali

Ali is fun.

New Clips

Taya Rogers

Gnarle

Dumpster Diver

Here's a few shots Taya and I got the other night in the alley behind her house. I used this flat panel LED light my brother-in-law built. Pretty stoked on how they came out.

Gnarle

I apologize for not posting in awhile. A lot of changes have been going on. I quit Costco so I could get back to focusing on my career as a photographer/cinematographer. It's a big transition that I'm taking head on day by day. I have a lot of cool stuff lined up for the next few weeks.

After my last day at Costco, I wanted to take a few days to hang with my crew in LA. I have a few different shoots for my stay up here in LA. I just did the summer line of girls tees/tanks for my friend Eddie's clothing line, Gnarle.

Here are a few photos of the gorgeous Alison Simmons and one of Eddie and myself. Note *this was the beginning and end of my modeling career. Eddie and I shot a behind the scenes video of the shoot. Keep yer eyes open for that! xoxo
