New image ....

This is a shoot for one of my favorite charities, Wingspan ( http://www.wingspanlife.org ). They help people who are challenged by age, ability or health to realize their own unique gifts, talents and dreams. These two wonderful gentlemen are are part of an Adult day program for individuals from the Hmong community. They both served in the Vietnam war and were decorated by the US government for their service. They both became US citizens this past 4th of July.

Behind the scenes of studio shoot

What happens before and during a shoot to make the product and the models' clothes look good..... We'd like to thank of all crew members and the folks that make a photographer look good....

Irving Penn - RIP

As a People Photographer, Irving Penn has been one of the Photographers I've always studied and loved.  His wealth of iconic imagery, from portraits of cultural leaders to simple obsessively exact still lifes.  Check out his work at:  http://photography-now.net/irving_penn/  He passed away Wednesday, October 7th, 2009, at the age of 92 in Manhattan.

New graphic approach to images....

There  is a constant effort by all artists and photographers to create a new or different look for an image that is the same subject matter day-in-day out.  To try and catch your attention.... Here's my newest approach. 

Octane Fitness Photo shoot...

OK, it's always the same, it's always about the model... here we all are setting up the shot for Octane's new product shot, Ryan from Octane is taking care of Brooke's shoes, Tim Olsen is taking care of the lights, Kate Erickson is taking care of makeup and I'm trying to direct our model... 

Another great day in the studio.

New fitness shot...

New fitness model Tom Andrades from Lansing, MI is available for fitness modeling.   

Had a great time shooting a new model, Tom.  Even though this was only his second shoot, he acted like a seasoned pro and and was great to work with.  

If your a fitness company and need a great model, even if your not shooting with me, email me and I'll connect you to Tom
