Bike Wrangler
For the Financial Post cover shoot we needed a Harley. A San Francisco dealer (Golden Gate Harley Davidson) provided the bike for us. Along with the bike the sent this guy to make suer everything was fine, and from the looks of him, he’s not someone you want to mess with. He was great… and for him, he was having a blast. He thought helping out on the shoot was one of the coolest thing he’d ever done. While setting up for the shoot I took a few shots of him… you couldn’t cast someone better for the part of “Biker guy.”
Financial Post Cover
I recently shot a cover image for the Canadian magazine Financial Post Business. The shoot went well and everyone involved was happy with the images. Hair and makeup was done by Diane Catorc and styling was done by Patricia LaCava. This shot was an outake, my favorite from the shoot, but of course not the images chosen by the magazine.
Surfer Portraits
I did a series of surfer portraits as a personal project. What started out as a test of my new camera (Canon 1DS MkII) turned into a little project for myself. I went down to a local surf spot in Santa Cruz California to take some pictures with my new camera so I could get to know it better. Once I got home and started playing with the portraits I took I decided I liked what I saw and started going back to take more.
Denise Leite
This was another shoot for Playboy magazine. They were featuring the artwork of an artist from just north of San Francisco in Petaluma California, Denise Leite. She was pretty crazy and fun to work with. I’m sure you can tell not only by her art work but also her outfits and hair that she is very unique.
