CHINGY, Atlanta, Georgia

On the Road again. This time I'm heading out to Atlanta, Georgia. Home of the dirty rap. I'm totally stoked, cos it's my first time there. It was totally chill to hang out at DTP Records and to hang out with Chingy. He's was totally chill to hang out with.

You know Chingy from his smash hit single, "Right Thurr"

Once the magazine publishes the images, it'll be right here! Check back soon!

PLAYAZ CIRCLE, DTP, Georgia

These were seriously some of the coolest cats that I met in Atlanta. Keep you eyes on them. Playaz Circle (meaning Preparing Legal Assets for Years from A to Z (A to Z meaning from beginning to end)). Playaz Circle consists of Tity Boi and Dolla Boy, set to be part of the next Dynamic Duos that rule the music industry. They were spotted and signed by Ludacris. With such power behind you, how can you possibly fail?

The whips that they brought along were Sick!!! This is one of the most fun shoots, just hanging out and shooting. Oh, and what's a true Atlanta shoot without some heavy downpour? The skies opened and just unleased on us. Sadly, I don't think cameras and high-voltage flashes were made to interact with water. Bummer.

Anyway, check their track "Duffle Bag Boy" featuring Lil Wayne. PIMP!!

Check their Myspace. Holla at em.

KEYSHIA COLE, Atlanta, Georgia

An awesome photoshoot with the beutiful Keyshia Cole in Atlanta, Georgia. It was my first time in Atlanta, so I was stoked. The heat for the day was just a killer. I'm so thankful for rental cars and air-conditioning. As soon as you step you, a wave a sweat just pours down your face. But all in all, it was such an awesome day.

Keyshia showed up on set and she just glowed like a superstar. You can feel her presence and this girl means business. She had such a great energy and we vibed. The images came out looks fantastic (like there was even a doubt)!! Keep your eye on this page, I'll be sure to put them up as soon as the magazine releases them. Check out her hot new single "Let it go" with Missy Elliot and Lil Kim. HOT!

CHRIS BROWN, Virginia... SUPERSTAR!

Keep this name in mind. You'll definitely be seeing alot of it. Chris Brown is the hottest Singer/Dancer since Justin Timberlake. If you caught a glimpse of him during the 2007 MTV Video and Music Awards in Vegas, you'll know exactly how big he's going to blow up. He gave a stellar performance with his dance moves and did a surprise set with Rihanna on her song "Umbrella" (Actual link to VMA Performance). Chris Brown is going to blow up all over the charts. His performance was backed by the biggest names in the industry, giving him props. P-Diddy, 50-cent, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, etc all gave him a standing ovation.

This recent photo shoot with the infamous Chris Brown went down in Montpelier, Virginia. With all his fame, we was a toally cool person to shoot. We hung out at his crib with his mom, family and bodyguard, Big Pat. Look out for Chris, he gets my seal of approval too.

STP "Son of a Gun" Campaign, shot for Paul Roberts and his agency. It was a fun shoot and it was even more fun casting these old beat up cars. The project was for AccD.

Les Duex | Hollywood

Up and coming design "mogul", David Chen threw a bash at the trendy Hollywood Club, Les Deux. The party was in conjunction with the VH-1 show, The Pickup Artist. Featuring Mystery, Matador, J-Dog and the rest of his posse. It turned out to be quite an awesome night. There was so much going on. They were filming episodes for "The Hills" and "Entourage". There were photographers, hot models, money, champagne, good friends, lights, cameras and action. What more could you ask for?

MYA COVER SHOOT

I've been a fan of Mya since the early days when she did Ghetto Superstar (feat Wyclef Jean, Pras and ODB) and the Moulin Rouge Soundtrack, Lady Marmalade (feat. Lil Kim, Pink and Missy Elliott). It was pretty cool being able to spend the day with her. The shoot went down at the legendary Sunset-Gower Studios on Sunset Blvd, where they were filming her latest Music Video. The director was no other than the maestro, Erik White (who has worked with every big name in the Industry). This shoot was for the cover of DUB Magazine. Below are the images from that shoot.

Indy Car Campaign

I had the honor of putting my vision and retouching magic on images shot exclusively by photographer Jeanette Paredes. It was a campaign revamping the image for Indy Car. This new series is called Indy-Hero. Jeanette hired me to retouch the campaign and it turned out to be an awesome collaboration.

Zenetti Skate Team | X-Games 13 | Los Angeles

Shot the Zenetti Skate Team. Some of the best professional skateboarders in the industry. The shoot went down at the private mini-ramp at the back of Brooklyn Projects on Melrose Blvd. The shoot was awesome and many people came out for autographs and just to gawk. It was awesome having such a huge crew on set. The crew consisted of Paul Rodriguez (aka P-Rod), Terry Kennedy, Jereme Rogers, Braydon Szafranski and Stevie Williams. (Check out P-Rods' new Nike kicks). The guys were awesome to hang out with. I could not have asked for a better day. It was a typical sunny Californian afternoon. I love shooting here! Many of the guys went on shortly to take part in the X-Games 13, held in Los Angeles. All the best to the guys competing! Look out for it in the newstands pretty soon.
