Casino Billboard

I was running an errand today and I saw a billboard that I photographed for Bay 101 casino late last year. I've done a handful of photo shoots that have ended up on billboards. Always cool to see my work in print.

Product Photographer Silicon Valley

I photograph predominantly people and every once in a while I get to shoot product. Here is a state of the art Avaya videophone designed by the company Whipsaw that I recently photographed.

 

Senior Living Lifestyle Print/Digital Photographs

Over the last year I traveled to several Belmont Village Senior Living communities around the country photographing real residents within their communities. Here are a few of my favorite photographs from the photo shoots in San Jose, CA, Houston, TX, and San Diego, CA. It was my job to capture the warmth, care, happiness, and authenticity of their communities while incorporating the environment.

Here is a recent photo shoot I did of Ahimsa Hodari fitness trainer and former collegiate Stanford track star. I photographer her in a few different styles as I want to capture her both in action and in the greek sculpture style. 

UFC Fighters

I photographed a bunch of pro and amateur fighters for a fighting gym over the weekend. I have been loving using my strobe light projector casting intense textures and shapes on to my subjects to add another level of energy. @superjjambrose thanks man! #MMA #ufc @ufc @ufc.tv @ufc_official_page #hex @hexfs @mmatalk #fighters #colorphotography

Shepard Fairey

I received an email this morning from “Artnet News” about Shepard Fairey selling his home. It reminded me of the photo shoot I had with him nine years ago... 

I photographed the soft spoken Shepard Fairey and his family in his garage in 2007 for Complex Magazine very early in my career. Had I photographed him now, I would of photographed him much differently. He only gave me 20 minutes to photograph him which is common to have limited time when photographing a celebrity. I think he gave me limited time because he is constantly working on his art and would rather be creating then be put in the spotlight. He had a hip house in the Hollywood hills but it was still just a house. I wanted to photograph him in an environment that said a little bit more about who he was… and still is. His garage said the most about his personality as it was used as an art studio and he had projects hanging all over the walls and there were apprentices painting his posters in his driveway. A true artist is always creating no matter where they are in my opinion. It made sense to include as his family int he portrait as they were all quite immersed into Obey.Funny thing, I did not know why he was such a big deal when I photographed him. Now you can buy Obey clothing attire and see his artwork all over the world.
