National Advertising shoot for BOB strollers by Briatx

I was contacted to shoot a magazine advertisement plus additional campaign images for the BOB stroller by Britax. The time frame for the shoot was tight because the magazine that we were shooting the ad for, had a specific deadline for turning in the Ad artwork. So between my schedule and the client's availability, the only day we could make the shoot work, was the same day as the magazine deadline! This meant we had to shoot, select images, upload them, have them retouched and have copy added to them all within a few hours,
 while on location! NO PROBLEM.
We got it all done, thanks to a great team of people who worked very well together.
And here is the final result:

New Campaign Shoot for Britax

The end of last year I shot a National advertising campaign for Britax to launch the new Affinity, high-end stroller. We shot multiple images on "green-screen", however, ours was actually medium grey and not green. The images were then retouched to depict the different colors for the stroller as well as the different scenarios in which it might be used. The images were also shot to match the accompanying video which was being shot at the same time.
The Campaign has just recently been launched, so I can now show you the final images from this shoot.
Let me know what you think.

New Images

Here are a few new images I recently shot as a test with a great new stylist and makeup artist. I recently shot these images of Buddy with stylist Lauren Kornegay and makeup artist Sara Egri.
It's been a while since I've done a test with a male model and even longer since I've shot one in studio, but I was happy with the way these came out!

Lowe's Home Improvement Catalog

Earlier, I posted some images I shot for the Lowe's "Outdoor Power Equipment" catalog.
Now that the catalog is out and I was able to get one, I thought I would post some images of what my work looked like in the catalog.
This was a big shoot, two photographers shooting on location for 5 days. I would be on one end of the location shooting, while the other photographer was shooting at the other end of the location. I had a great time shooting it and we ended up getting some nice images. I was fortunate enough to have my images chosen for both the front and back covers as well as the front and back inside covers!
So, here those images are along with a few interior images that I shot:

Kids shoot for Ser Padres magazine

Here are some final images from a shoot I did for Ser Padres magazine. I love working with these guys. I ALWAYS have a great time with them. I wish we worked together more often, they always make it fun!

Lowe's Photoshoot

A few months ago I did a 5 day shoot on location for Lowe's Home Improvement stores. I had a great time shooting with those guys and really enjoyed working with the people from Lowe's and the production crew. We spent most of our days shooting from sunrise to sunset on a 250 acre farm where we had access to a pond, log cabins, a 1950's Chevy pickup, a couple of barns, horses, ducks, goats and a swan. It was a great place to shoot and we used as much of it as we could over those 5 days.

Here are a few samples of what we shot:

Rock-N-Roll Picture Show!

Most of what I shoot is Fashion and Advertising work, but years ago, when I was in my late teens and early  20's, I shot a lot of pictures for local rock bands (I'd even sometimes smuggle a camera into shoot some of the national bands, like Bon Jovi, Motley Crue and Guns-N-Roses). It's something I really love to shoot, but I hadn't shot anything like that in many years. Then, the opportunity came up for me to shoot a Rock Show! It was for my favorite local bands, who I hadn't worked with in close to 20 years! I was a little anxious about how this reunion would turn out. Could they all play as well, sing as well and perform as well? The answer to all those questions was Yes! It turned out to be a great show, the musicianship, the stage presence, the light show, the sound, everything was as good or better than the last time I saw them play. And best of all, I was able to do something I love to do and hadn't done in many years, Shoot a live rock show!

So, here is a small sample of the over 400 images I shot of that show. Everything from backstage, on stage, to out in the audience. Overall I had a great time and I hope to do it some more!
