12-10-09 - This Fashion Editorial image was taken in the oldest part of Milan, Italy. By controlling the light I am able to control what the viewer will look at, which in this case is the wardrobe. To get this shot, we sometimes had to move out of the way of cars that sometimes happened by on one of the narrowest streets in Milan. There is also a link where you can read & see how I shot this image and what the location looked like before I finished the shot.

11-29-09 - This fashion image was taken in the stairwell of my Milan, Italy apartment. All of the light is from a single strobe head placed at the top of the stairs and is raw light, meaning it is not modified. Because the stairwell is painted white there is a lot of light bouncing around which helps to slightly soften the shadows.

10-25-09 - This fashion image was shot in Milan, Italy. The Brazilian model who is based in Paris, was in Milan to shoot a project and was leaving for home the next day. When we walked out I noticed that the light was hitting part of the building & was flooding this part of the courtyard with beautiful soft light.

10-9-09 - This fashion image was taken in Milan, Italy. Most of the light on the model is from a strobe set up about 10' (3 meters) away. The shirt is by Acorn.

10-2-09 - This fashion image was taken in the stairwell of my Milan, Italy apartment. All of the light is from a single strobe head placed at the top of the stairs and is raw light, meaning it is not modified. Because the stairwell is painted white there is a lot of light bouncing around which helps to slightly soften the shadows. You can see this on her right leg, the front is brightest, the back is just a bit darker because the light is reflecting off of the white wall behind her. The the side of her leg facing the viewer is dark due to no light reflecting on that side, just a dark walkway.

9-24-09 - This fashion image was taken in Milan, Italy and was the second look of the day. This is one of 2 models from Beatrice Models and they are twins.

9-12-09 - This fashion image was taken in North Carolina close to Highlands. We drove within a half a mile of the location and packed the gear in. In this image the primary light is strobe. Clouds ruled the sky this day and it was mostly heavy overcast with brief moments of midday sun. This coupled with heavy foliage cover made for some long exposures with 100 or 200 ISO.

11-16-08 This Fashion Advertising image was shot in Cologne, Germany. I was visiting Photokina and on the drive into the event I noticed these old empty buildings. I was talking to another photographer who told me how to get in (sneaking in a gate that had been bent just enough I should say).

10-5-08 - Milan, Italy - This editorial style fashion & beauty photography Flash Movie fashion project was shot in about 2 hours in Milan, Italy. This Russian model had a tremendous amount of poise and presence. After shooting indoors I wanted to shoot outside. I knew a spot I had shot in before so I loaded up the cameras, lenses, stands, light modifiers & strobes and was just able to squeeze all my stuff, the model & me into the very small elevator to go down to the ground floor. When we arrived at the location there just happened to be a old Moto Guzzi there. So I set the lights to work with both the model and the motorcycle.

10-4-08 This Fashion Advertising image was shot in Milan, Italy in front of a decaying Villa. I have positioned Sina in the shade and placed a battery powered location strobe with a grid spot on her overpowering the sunlight. I also have positioned a reflector in the sun to help balance out the shadows caused by the strobe. I am lying down to get the angle I wanted.

10-2-08 - Milan, Italy - This editorial style fashion & beauty photography Flash Movie was shot in about an hour in Milan, Italy. Lucia, simply a stunning model with The Fashion Model Management Agency, arrived in the afternoon and we shot a few looks. The last look was walking in front of the house between Via Nerino & Via Torino and shot while using the very last light left in the day.

10-2-08 - Milan, Italy - This editorial style fashion & beauty photography Flash Movie was shot in about 90 minutes in Milan, Italy. This model had a lot of experience, moved well, could relate to & project towards the camera and was wonderful to shoot with. The shot of her leaning against the graffiti wall was a moment of experimenting with lighting which I feel worked very well.

9-22-08 - Milan, Italy - This editorial style fashion & beauty photography Flash Movie was shot in about 45 minutes in Milan, Italy. Kalina, a Bulgarian model with Fashion Models arrived with no makeup on at all except for lip balm. Her skin quality was very good so we shot this series.

9-20-08 - Milan, Italy - This editorial style fashion & beauty photography Flash Movie was shot in about 90 minutes in Milan, Italy. This 17 year old Lithuanian model (or as she said, "in one month I'll be 18") was wonderful to shoot with. I had scouted the outside locations but on the weekend. But the time I shot, during the week, on the last location the street and sidewalks were full of cars & Vespa style scooters. So I just went around the corner.

9-19-08 - Milan, Italy - This editorial style fashion & beauty photography Flash Movie was shot in about 3 hours in an apartment in Milan, Italy. This 22 year old German model is very experienced and was just wonderful to shoot with. By having a lot of experience in front of the camera she is able to relax, move and relate to the camera without looking like she is trying. This is a mark of a true top professional.

9-18-08 - Milan, Italy - This editorial style fashion & beauty photography Flash Movie was shot midday in the apartment in Milano. The living room is quite large and is located in the middle of town, about 6 blocks from the Duomo & the Galleria. This 18 year old Russian model is brand new and was only her second shoot so a fair amout of directing was initially needed, which is very normal with new talent. But after an hour she relaxed and by then was able to, what I call, to "project".

8-10-08 This Fashion Advertising image was shot in South Beach for Old Gringo Boots. My original concept was to shoot a cool, interesting fashion image where the central focus was on the boots. So I designed a special camera dolly so I could follow the model while she scooted along with the camera inches above the sidewalk with the lens aimed up.

3-5-08 - Atlanta - This fashion project was shot in a field of weeds and this segment took about 20-30 minutes to shoot. The gear we used: Canon Cameras and California Sunbounce.

1-19-08 - This is one of several fashion advertising images I shot for a client to run ads in "Cowboys & Indians Magazine." The client contacted me the day after the official magazine deadline had passed and wondered if I could get the job done in time. Like most magazines there is an official deadline, the next deadline and then the "absolute drop dead" deadline extended to very few clients. Part of the problem was getting the samples in time. The client & I were both at an International trade show in Denver and some of the samples were not available until 5 days later which was a Thursday. The weather was another problem because it was January in Colorado. I knew the location I was going to shoot would work as long as it was not snowing. I had to shoot a spring time garment, 2 summer time garments & one fall/winter garment. The fall/winter was going to be easy but the spring & summer were going to take a lot of work. The weather was not going to be good until Saturday, one day past the second deadline. I talked to the National sales manager and due to my record of never missing a deadline ever she said I had an extra 4 days which brought it to the "absolute drop dead" deadline.

I cast for models, hired the model, had all of the samples flown in & shot the project on Saturday. Because of very heavy traffic due to skiers going to Vail, the model was 90 minutes late. It was 15-20 degrees outside where I shot 3 of the images.

10-4-07 - In this series of advertising fashion shots the model had mascara & lipstick, no other makeup was used. Lighting wise is sunlight with 2 California Sunbounce reflectors. The location was in a private home in downtown Milan, Italy. The construction on the home started in the 1300's.

3-18-07 - Arizona - This is a behind the scenes video of an Advertising Fashion photo shoot that was produced in a private home in Cave Creek, AZ.
