Jessie

Some photo shoots go bad, and some go really well.....this one went amazingly well. Jessie did a phenomenal job....one of the best I've worked with. I'll be posting more....

Kristabelle

Here's another shot of Kristabelle...

A Coke and a Smile!

Let me know what you think....

Pin Up Girl

This is Kristabelle, a fantastic Pin-up Model. Yesterday I collaborated on this photo shoot with two co-workers of mine, Danielle Bedics and Olga Mosqueda. We had a great time, and each took turns photographing her. Kristabelle is one of the best models I've ever worked with....brought the smile and the energy every time.
I really worked hard in Photoshop to try and give this shot a classic feel. Hope it worked.

PR

Noelia moved back to Puerto Rico yesterday....we decided to do one last photo shoot before she left. We will all miss her very much.

Desmond

There are good guys, and there are great guys....Desmond is a great guy. One of the best people I've worked with.

Valley Spring Lane

I may have mentioned this before, but sunset is my favorite time to shoot outdoors. The light is always great during this "magic hour." I often just walk right outside and shoot in the middle of my street. Sometimes I find a great car to use as a prop....and I hope the owner doesn't come out and yell at me. Lately I've been using my 200mm F2 lens which is actually really heavy after a while, but produces dramatic results, so I don't mind the trouble. And because of the long focal length, and the large aperture, I can really blur out the background.

Back to the Roof

Here is a picture of Holli I took at the same time and place I photographed that wine glass below.

Wine in Manhattan

Just got back from New York. Great trip...but it was REAL hot. I took this shot at sunset. I really liked the reflections of the city in the glass. Not only are the top and bottom of the glass different in color, but they are different buildings altogether.

Childhood

Another shot from South Carolina. I thought it sort of had a "timeless" feel....coulda been shot yesterday, or 50 years ago.

New Camera...New Possibilities

I picked up a new camera last week, and it is phenomenal. For those of you who know a little about photography, you know that being able to shoot at ISO 1600 is an impressive thing. Normally shooting at that "film speed" results in very grainy pictures. Well, I'm happy to say that the Nikon D3 can shoot at that speed very easily, and can even shoot all the way up to ISO 25,000!! This shot above was shot in very low light after the sun had already gone down at ISO 1600. That's Bart in the picture....he's a pro.

Madeline

I was in South Carolina this past weekend...what a beautiful place!! I was there visiting my friend Anthony, who used to work with me at Disney back in the 90's. He is now married with three beautiful daughters.

Gia

Uptown Girl

Shot yesterday at sunset on the rooftops of Downtown L.A.

Stephane

Yeah...and he's French too.

Noelia

A perfect shoot.

The 41 Year Old Character Artist

George McClements is fearless.

First Cover!

Last month I had the opportunity to do a photo shoot for Hudson's Childrenswear Review. It's an industry magazine that showcases the latest in kids' clothing available to retailers. I shot the cover and several pages inside.

Abigail

You really have to click on the photo to appreciate it. We had a lot of fun shooting these.....Abigail takes direction very well.

Guitar Girls

Here's Alex and Gabby again....photographed yesterday.

Happy Easter

Reese

Reese is only 4 years old, but is very comfortable posing for the camera. A great model....and a great singer too!

Miss Chenos

Efie was nice enough to come by and help me with some new lights.

Krystal

The oldest of the Edwards girls....and she just celebrated her 21st birthday!!
Believe it or not, this was shot outside in the driveway using only natural light at sunset.

Bravery

This is my cousin's daughter, Brittney, and she's been featured on this blog several times. Last May she was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor in her cerebellum. She's been through surgery to have it removed and is now fighting a long hard battle to beat this completely. She has shown such great strength that I wanted to acknowledge it here. We're all very proud of her.

Goodbye 2007....

Well, it was quite a year...from a photography standpoint. I shot more pictures than I ever have, and came out with some of my best work yet. I hope to top it in 2008. I continue to learn and improve....with the camera AND with photoshop. Here are SOME of the people I photographed this year. Look close....you might find yourself!

Sorry to not post something for so long...let's hope this gets the ball rolling again.

Rooftop Holli

Here's Holli, the mother of those beautiful girls, Hannah and Abbi, who you've seen on here many times. I liked this shot of her on this rooftop at sunset. This was taken last week.

New York State of Mind

Guess where I'm standing......

Gabby

World Trade Center

Here are some shots I took of the Towers back in 1999. The last two shots were taken from inside the observation deck of the South Tower....and I feel they give you an idea of how high up they really were.

Lots of Shots

Been doing a lot of shooting lately. I took about 13 thousand photos in August....got 4 good ones.
