Ruche Loobok

Here is the finished set of photos used for the Ruche Lookbook I shot.

New camera!!!!!

So I finally got a new 5D mark II. I'm really excited about this camera and have been wanting it for quite some time. The very shoot I did with it was in the pouring rain with singer/actress Jennilee Reyes. It was kind of a bold move seeing how i got the camera and was already taking it in the rain. it worked out well though.

Here is some video footage I shot with it while shooting.

And this one of the photos from the day as well.

What a busy fucking week.

Photography has completely consumed my life this month. No that it's a bad, but sometimes it a very tiring thing.

Between all the product shoots and headshot that only keep my wallet interested I have managed to still get some paid work that I actually had fun doing.

Here is one of the new world promos for the DJ group LA Riots.



This is a new skate add of Ashbury team rider Theotis Beasly. He may be the nicest kid I've ever met.



These are some editorial style promos for the Ruche boutique. I had a ton of shooting these.

My work Life is getting better.

So over the Last few weeks I've actually been getting paid to shoot stuff that i want to shoot!!! It's a great feeling, almost like getting paid to have fun. lets hope this keeps up.

Here is a photo of Anna for the Golden Pony Boutique.



This is a photo from the new Sovereign Code lookbook



Also planned for this week I have a shoot scheduled with the Ashbury snow team and, LA Riots, and Fall Out Boy. This is a busy week.

I was also published in URB magazine this month with this photo of Wolfgang Gartner.

Ashbury!

Lately I have been shooting Adds for the snow/skate company Ashbury. They are a great up and coming company so you should buy shit from them! www.ashburyeyewear.com

Here are few adds that I have shot for them.









I have many more to come so I'll keep you posted on that.

LA Fashion week is here

And that time is here once again. To prance around and pretend that your into a designer that no one has heard of so you can impress the person next to you.

I love fashion week, fashion month, whatever the fuck they are calling it now. Who doesn't enjoy free booze and beautiful people. Those may be two of my most favorite things, especially when they are all around my neighborhood. You better believe I'll be catching a free cocktail at some fancy after party that I weaseled my way into.

Catch up time.

I haven't been posting on here lately and I feel really guilty about it. I feel that I should be sharing my exploitations more often with you people.

I have slowly been getting more photo work on a more of a professional level. I'm still not even close to working as much as I would like to but everyday seems to become more promising than the next.

Here are some test shot that I did for the swimsuit company Paola Robba.

Free stuff.

There is nothing better than receiving free product in the mail from companies that like your photography. It's almost like being sponsored by designers. The other day I received a whole box of mens underwear from a new company called New Captain. (http://www.newcaptainco.com/) They make some pretty cool stuff. Hopefully they like the photos I shoot for them and they want to fly me out to Brazil, Which there has been talk of. Also in the mail I am waiting to receive all the new Paola Robba swimsuits to shoot with too. I absolutely can't wait for that. It makes taking photos easy when you have product to shoot.

Hopefully we can get some shoots together this week. I'll have photos up soon.

So I like to shoot something and be creatively productive at least once a week. This shoot was just that. We pulled some nice stuff but only ended up using one of this seasons Paola Robba swim suit, a jacket that my friend left at my house and some fresh new Ashbury shades. The entire team on this photo did a great job, I definitely couldn't have done it without Edin, Sunnie, and mary beth.

Mandy Yeung & Makaha Sugita

So Mary Beth and I through this shoot together the other day. I really love how it came out and the clothes look amazing on these two girl. As they should, considering the girls and the ridiculous cost of the clothes.

On the left is Mandy Yeung who is signed with click models and on the right is Makaha Sugita, It escapes me who she is signed with at the time but she is Ms Japan for the USA, I thought that was pretty awesome.

Olivia Lopez

So this weekend I had a photoshoot all planned out. With a hair stylist, Makeup artists, and a wardrobe stylist, But right at the last minute our model bailed out. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but thanks to Coachella everyone was out of town. I searched frantically to find a new girl to shoot but to no avail. It wasn't until 3am or so that Olivia called me and said that she could make the call time of 11:00am the following morning.

that's great! We found a Model. Unfortunately at 3am I was already well on my way to being black out drunk thinking we weren't going to shoot, and shortly forgot about any responsibilities I had the next morning.

Waking up at noon with the model at my house that I had completely forgot about and no one else here to hair or makeup looked really bad on my part and made me feel very unprofessional. keep in mind everyone had a call time and I didn't tell anyone that we weren't shooting. The makeup artist bailed and hair didn't show up. The stylist was on call so she was here right when I called her. With a few quick phone calls I replaced hair and makeup and we were on our way to shoot. Granted we were a few hours behind schedule everything somehow worked itself out.


This was good lesson for me. No matter how well things are put together, sometimes things just weren't meant to be.

and for the record the model wasn't exactly what I had in mind when putting this shoot together but she was so awesome and lively making for some great photos.

Phone Sexcapades!

So this may seem immature and kind of dumb. Or It might just be one of things where you have to be there to appreciate the quick responses and ridiculousness of it. So let me explain. When we are sitting at home bored and drunk my friend will call into this phone sex hotline where it is free for girls to talk to guys while the guys have to pay for it (sucks for them), and to make a long story short we like to call in and fuck with them. This is some footage of my friend Jen having fun with it.

This keeps me focused.

So I have found that if I am recording what I do while I retouch, I actually keep focused on what I am doing, and don't get lost in the internet so much when I should be doing work.

I shot some promo photos on Friday for this girl and had to go through and retouch a bunch. This was just a quick edit and I know there are a lot mistakes. I have tried to go through and fix a few since this. ( like the building distortion. ) These little videos make it fun to edit, for now anyways, and keep me sane while doing so.

Work Antics

So this is pretty much what I do for my day job. I shoot about 25 pieces of clothing every single day for a distribution company. Most of the photos are cheesy, lame and shot as quick as possible in all natural light, at a ridiculously high ISO. This one was no different. I thought it might make a good black and white, So why not right? I don't really like shooting photos like this for work, but I do like that I get to shoot photos everyday for work, if that makes sense.

Pocket Shots!!!

How many times in your life do you wish you had a extra shot of booze in your pocket? Way to often if you ask me. No worries though, because we now have Pocket shots.



I have never tried one of these but I have a feeling that it is probably the best way to get drunk ever. and I should probably invest in a case of these very soon.
