Polaroids From Pitchfork

18 Jul

Just Finished up in Chicago enjoying the Pitchfork Music Festival!!! I’ve been playing around with a Polaroid 300 making mini art, and hipster hunting. Super fun just making simple images. I must have heard “Everybody Loves Polaroid” a thousand times. Getting ready for CHINA!!! Heading out on Sunday for a shoot in Shanghai and Beijing. The Yeti returns!!!

Rock Fans Shoot

04 Jun

Hope you enjoy this one, we recently shot a little faux rock concert up in LA, I’ll let the images and the time lapse speak for me. The time lapse is quick and dirty, there was not a ton of down time as you can see from the video but its pretty funny, look for some hidden gems in there. Its pretty funny to see the chaos of 12 hours in 3 minutes. Enjoy the images!

New Work

19 May

Here is something we worked on recently for Do Or Die – a new MMA clothing company. The studio seemed smaller than usual with these eight gigantic MMA fighters hanging out, eating extra-large pizzas. The evening’s shoot yielded some really outstanding results, and the athletes, like Rich Power in the shot below, worked really hard to help capture them. I’m just glad there was a camera between us.

I’ve also been working planning a lot of my own shoots—interesting concepts that challenge and inspire. Here are two we did recently – the first focused on a range of emotions, and the second was a chance to polish my underwater skills.

Otherwise, we just wrapped up a fun shoot with Marlboro at an incredible swimming pool location in Malibu. This month also brought trips to photograph a surfing pug on Waikiki Beach—yes, really—and Navy chaplains here in San Diego. Coming up (as in tomorrow at 5:30 am), we’ve got a large scale “rock concert fan” shoot planned at a warehouse in LA, and a few more cool projects in the works.

Wrangler Print Ads Selected in Luerzer’s Archive

So the grape vine tells me that our print work we did with two x four in Chicago with the infamous Ryan Bloecker made it into the fashion section of the current issue of Luerzer’s Archive. Super happy to have the opportunity to make some interesting print pieces with Ryan. This is our second selection in the publication with Ryan. When he’s not bowling, he has some serious creative skills. Thanks Ryan for making me look good! Check out the ad’s

Ariat Print 2010

10 Feb

We just finished the retouching on the new Ariat Print campaign. Bringing the eighties back one star filter at a time. I must say ripped off the effect from watching Monday Night Football. We actually captured the stars in camera with the help of the Hoya filter. Our goal was to show the PBR riders the way the PBR events go down, part rock and roll show part sporting event. It was a fun trip to vegas!!! Enjoy!

Currently working on prepping the studio for a week long shoot with Marlboro, retouching two shoots we did with Corbis and cutting an motion spot we did last week. Cheers.
