Ells&Jason's Wedding

Group shot of my family.  It's interesting to see how the personality of each person comes out, simply by grouping them.  This is my favorite from the series!

photographs for the night life page

So about a week ago i did a couple of photographs for the night life page with a magazine company. They had me going to 4 clubs that night and one of the locations,  I met the girl from the band aerodrone.  Super cute, and friendly! Check them out!
 

TZA from Aerodrone

BLUEROSE SERIES2

Maria 

 Im trying to finish up on my project called the blue rose series. Maria our model was a trooper! I had her acting out the word "overwelmed" and made her tippy toe while posing in awkward positions.  All in all she was great to work with!

Alice in Wonderland(charles edition)

Tessa

Lately ive been trying to remake an Alice in Wonderland shoot.  After the first shoot I realized, it would be best to have the theme be Alice in wonderland but have the story slightly changed.  Our model is Tessa and you can find her at model mayhem.

shoot at Winters Ca

I had a shoot today in Winters Ca.

First time I saw a white horse,      Met a beautiful lady named Sam,    photographed clouds

Perfecting skin tones

So it's summer for me and that just means! More time to do photography!
Well actually i havn't been doing much for the past 2 weeks since I got am internship for Cao Photo's and 7x7 magazine (I start tomorow at 10:30)
Anyhow I have been perfecting the art of believeable skintones using photoshop.
So far so good.

Laurens "The Inn"

I had a chance to collaborate with
Lauren (model)
Alina (stylist)
Akiha (hair)

We had a great time at the Inn and hope i can do it again with the same team soon!

new composite idea

         It's been barely two weeks of summer and I have been more active now than i was in school
a couple weeks ago.  Strange? Tell me about!

 So here is my latest idea!
A prince is going to be floating in the middle of the lake, however im not exactly sure what he's going to be floating in.  I don't want a boat becase its so clique i want to composite something unique.

Windmill CASESTUDY

I did this composite way back when. an wanted to share the process with everyone.

Composite idea

past pacifica's taco bell, exit on the first beach.

Ship wrecked!  Fashion, gold digging adventure! 

skins

ive been over doing the skin smoothing alot lately! But what can i say? i really like the unrealistic look to it!

Dreamt of birds!

a couple of months ago i had a dream about a women running down stairs, and as she got to the bottom of she was suddenly attacked by birds.  Inspired by this dream i decided to recreate it.

Little Red Riding Love

Worked on a Little Red Riding Hood Concept with Robin, Angel, Curtis, Jessie.  We wanted to start early however, due to a wolf wardrobe malfunction we ended up starting 4ish. But as always it was uber fun working with Robin.  After the shoot we ate at italian restaurant.
Since when did spaghetti and wine coast $28?

leaf after the fishing lures shoot

later after the fishing lures shoot i decided to photograph this leaf in the glamouristic style of George Hurrell!

Fishing lures Project

At first this fishing lures assignment was a cheap and fast way of finishing up a FINAL for my advertising class. But im enjoying the whole process and I'm really liking the images.

 

Amber flamingo

Last sunday i went back to Alum Rock to finish up Ambers fashion shoot.

Here is one image i won't be using for my portfolio.  So here it is on my blog

Jeremy and the suspenders

I finally shot the lonely cast away shoot. Here is jeremy the model, getting frisky with the suspenders.  

Kyle Renaissance REJECT

I can't really use this for my portfolio, but so here it is on blogger.

The Pheen

A couple of days ago I did a shoot at the Beazley Bedn' Breakfast, in Napa.  What wonderful people they are.  They made us feel at home and allowed us to use any part of the hotel.  Pheenix the model was incredible, extremely fun to work with it, and amazingly gorgeous for her age!
At an rate here is one of my favorites from the shoot.

kYLESHEADS

After we shot for my concepts,  kyle and I both unexpectedly went outside and did another shoot. I think  for the area we were in the shots came out great! here are a few samples from the shoot.

little thing worked it

first time i've ever photographed a girl as young as angel, out of respect i'll keep her age a secret.

Alum Rock/ Amber warm up's shot, WORDs; sadness and happy

The warm up words i chose for her were Sadness and Happy, however i caught this moment just as she switched characters.

Natalie Cemetary 2

Natalie and I finished up the 2 day shoot today.  The first time we worked together we did a tim burton esc shoot near the cemetary and today we did a fantasy fairy shoot.  I'm not sure if i'm going to use this image for the spread, but i do like the gentleness and overall mood of the photograph.

stock clouds/ memory assignment

Clouds, for a memory assignment.

The visions of "Mr.Snikers!"

The cemetary was taken in salem Massachusetts. I've came up with a story called Mr.Snikers.  It's about a ghost that wanders the cemetary at night and i'm trying to design it so that the camera captured the apparition of Mr.Snikers.
This image is not 100% done, and is still in the works.

Anyone like it?

Natalie, Cemetery, Birds New work

Here is a new photography series i'm designing.  I've been shooting with strobes for most of my project and now i've decided to take my work ethics outside.  I'll only be using diffusers, reflectors, mirrors and the sun. This series is for my Fashion and design class.
Here is a story of a girl  chasing birds. (not really that inventive but it was fun photographing it!)

  

The shoot was taken at the daly city cemetery and took.
Light settup: 15minutes
shooting: 3-4hours.

Ross mcnight

Here is a picture for my 20's project however i didn't use this image for the final piece because it didn't flow well with the other pictures. obviously it's cropped to the extreme but i think the look and feel looks great!

Hotlights:15minutes
