FIVE FOUR PARTY

FIVE FOUR Clothing Party in the coolest loft in Downtown LA. Waaaay too much fun!

PLAYBOY MANSION - KENDRA WILKINSON

What's more awesome than shooting Playboy Bunnies at the Playboy Mansion all day? I honestly can't really think of much.

Thus this was a pretty cool day hanging out in the California Sunshine with
Kendra Wilkinson, one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriend and Playboy Bunny, at the Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills. She's one of the stars in the Hit Series, Girls Next Door. She was fun to hang around and even more fun to shoot. This girl has so much energy and passion for her work. Needless to say, the images turned out amazing!

THE PROTAGONIST | (Movie - 2008)

Co-Directed and DP'd my first Movie. This project has been in the books for such a long time and the experience was awesome. This marks my official transition to Music Videos, while still having both feet in the Photo world. I'm honored to have worked with 2 brilliant actresses, Cynthia Dallas and Julia Sergeon. With the backing of an excellent Director, Kurt Forman, the movie was a breeze. I definitely could not have done this without the help of all the camera crew, lighting and most importantly the food caterers. Here's some images of what happened during principal photography.

ASHLYN BROOKE + TOMMY GUNN

It was fun hanging out all day at a photoshoot with two of the biggest adult entertainment stars, Ashlyn Brooke, Tommy Gunn and fellow photographer Ashley Poole. (Note: The links are to their porn sites, so underage viewer discretion please). They were awesome and we hung out all day shooting at their home in the Valley.

BATISTA - World Heavyweight Champion

Flew to Tampa, Florida to shoot Dave Batista, the World heavyweight champion. He's HUGE! Let's just say he makes a Hummer look small. All in all, it was a great shoot and a great trip. Can't wait to get back to LA. After my movie, I've been shooting back to back and I'm just about ready for a break. Viva la Los Angeles!!

My very first WWE Wrestling Match!

After shooting Batista, the Publicity guys from WWE hooked me up with awesome seats for WWE Smackdown! It was more exciting as I've never been to a wrestling match. EVER. Below are some pictures of videos for those who haven't been to one either.

50 CENT in Vegas

Everyone knows 50 Cent right?


Well check this out. I was in Las Vegas to shoot 50 Cent, to feature the launch of his new custom Pontiac G8 50-Cent Edition. This shoot turned out totally cool. Got to hang out with fiddy most of the day. The shoot went awesome. I thought it was going to be a work-only, get-it-over-as-quick-as-possible type shoot, but we ended up just standing around talking. Totally unexpected! Totally cool. Enough of me rambling, check out some pictures below.

RYAN SHECKLER - MTV's Life of Ryan

Thank you to all my fans for all your emails regarding my recent work. One of the biggest joys of being a photographer is receiving emails complementing my work and saying that my images inspires them. I apologize for not being able to reply to each and everyone as I've been on the road to San Diego quite a bit. With the recent fires going on, this makes it even more difficult getting around.

I've got a huge treat for you all today. I was filmed for an episode of Life of Ryan on MTV with Ryan Sheckler. (Check his website). I guess I've gotten used to all the publicity and cameras around me and I'm now able to focus solely on my images and can block all the other commotion out. But I have to admit that this was pretty awesome. There were approximately 5 cameras filming at all times. And the MTV crew themselves were pretty cool. I'm not sure which episode this will be in, but it's safe to say that it's in Season 2. If anyone sees the episode, drop me an email. Give me heads up. Let me know.

Ryan was fun to hang out with. He had a lot of energy for the shoot and his little brother Kane had even more. Kane was riding around my photoshoot, doing kickflips after kickflips on his razor on speedbumps and on curbs. All in all, the shoot was awesome. I couldn't possibly have asked for more.
