Oh boy, am I behind on my blog posts. Well here is one to get me back in the mood. I shot 6 different artists for this crazy BUST Magazine fashion story last month over several days. As a central visual theme I worked with the artistic fabricators of crafty creations, The Confetti System, to [...]

Not only did I shoot this movie poster but I made the movie too! Thanks to my good pal Christian Struzan and XL for the awesome poster design. unbelievably I am still not finished with the post production of the film but have picturelock and will start submitting to festivals next week. Hopefully one of [...]

I recently had the opportunity to work with the actor Michael Shannon. He is mainly known for his role as Nelson Van Alden, the zealous Federal Prohibition agent on Boardwalk Empire, but I am particularly fond of his performance in the role of Kim Fowley for the movie “The Runaways” We did the shoot in [...]

I shot the image campaign for the FOX television series Human Target staring Mark Valley this last summer and let my tell you, we are lucky to be alive because this shoot was crazy! Thank god Mark was so fiercely strong and rugged because if he would have dropped that poor girl it would have [...]

RIP the white stripes. For a moment in time, they were the greatest! I made this in the summer of 2001 with a Bolex and one 3min roll of 16mm film, plus a few rolls of good old fashion film.

I thought about writing this post last month but with my trip to Australia and all of the holiday madness I never quite got around to it. But now with the New Year my blog posting motivation has been reinvigorated and I am ready to tell the tale of my shoot with Fran Leibowitz! If [...]

I found these beautiful old Wurts Bros photographs of New York City street scenes on the Museum of the City of New York website this weekend and they stirred up my feelings for how powerful the endless march of time is, trudging forward, wiping out everything in its path. 100 years go by and nothing [...]

Upside down and backwards, I’m home from 9 days in Australia where we shot the image campaign for the new Spielberg produced FOX show Terra Nova. The premise for this new Sci-Fi pilot: it’s 2149, the world is dying and a group of volunteers are sent back to the prehistoric age to attempt to preserve [...]

For the last several months I have been working on a short film titled SWAN DIVE and even though we are not finished yet I do have a few stills to share. SWAN DIVE is a dark tale I wrote about a troubled man who is pushed over the edge by a psychic’s curse. The [...]

In August I spent 2 weeks in Memphis on the set of the independent feature “Losers Take All”, an 80′s Rock and Roll comedy about a DIY punk band looking to make some noise. How I ended up there is kind of a long story but in a nutshell, I was invited by the producer [...]

Back in the old days, I would shoot several album covers a month, but nowadays I get about one or two a year. Album packaging used to be a job requiring professionals, but the last time I was up at Universal my art director friend was comping up a cover from a iphone Hipstamatic file. [...]

After a long run of special issues for People Magazine, including Miley, Jonas, and High School Musical to name a few, the economy crashed and the whole thing came to a screeching halt. But when I got the call from photo editor Jessica Bryan asking my availability to shoot the cast of GLEE, I started [...]

Its the dog days of summer and after 3 trips to LA, including shoots with the cast of GLEE, the Cast of Human Target, Joan Rivers, and 10 days in Memphis on an independent feature, this week I am taking it easy and doing some work around the house. But considering all the effort I’ve [...]

“It’s not going to work!” Thats the first thing David Blaine said to me when he walked into the studio. After explaining our plan and showing him how prepared we were, he then proclaimed that it would take 5 tries to get it right. Let’s just say that David has a “strong personality” and I [...]

Sometimes I forget to take advantage of the benefits of living in New York and all of the world class art exhibits that the city has to offer. Fortunately I was able to catch the Henry Cartier-Bresson show at the MOMA on the last day of the show, because if I would have missed it, [...]
