I’ve been a bit busy the last couple weeks. The most time consuming thing is my move to a new location and studio in San Francisco. I also shot a small campaign for the Franciscan winery. This image was actually the image that made them want to hire me. You can see the ad running in Esquire soon. Well, back to unpacking.
I’ve been busy working on a few different projects and some fun things like promotion… I thought I’d at least update some pics even if I’m not saying much! These pics were from another personal project I was working on. I would photograph interesting looking older people in the park. I love these guys… I call the one on the left the “latin lover.” I can just picture him driving many women at the senior center crazy!
Author Christopher Hitchens for the Village Voice. Christopher was exactly what I’d expect him to be like… if you’ve seen him on The Daily Show and other news shows you know what I mean. Chain smoking and very dry humor. I primarily photographed him around the yard and house but I ended up liking this shot which was taken in front of his garage. This is the image used in the Village Voice as well. Well, I’m off to the airport to catch a flight to Dallas.
This image was a shot for the Financial Post Business. The magazine was doing their annual CEO rankings and John Feltheimer, the CEO of Lions Gate Films was on the list. I photographed John in the back yard of his Los Angeles home, a very nice home as I’m sure you can imagine. John had just about the tiniest dog I’d ever seen. I wanted to photograph him holding the dog in one had. Unfortunately his “people” didn’t think it would be a good idea because they didn’t like the image of him with such a “less than manly” dog. Next week will be a busy week for me. I’m shooting a campaign for Country Wide. I’ll be spending a couple days at their Dallas offices and then a few more in Los Angeles.
