A New Approach To The Traditional Engagement Photo
When it comes to my photography, my goal is to keep it within the realm of portraiture….more specifically, a style of cinematic portraiture. In the past, this has caused me to turn down a host of gigs - I would turn down a simple engagement shoot unless they were friends, or friends of friends - therefore rendering me a poor, starving, artist.
Problem: sovled. Instead of turning down shoots that aren’t great bands or profiles on “hip” artists, I decided to just start shooting my engagement/wedding clients as if they had been nominated for a Grammy. This has proven to be excellent shooting practice, and in some instances, even a portfolio builder. Do it right, and you can manage a couple looks specific enough to carry the lifestyle card. This, of course, requires a certain type of client who digs that look. In the case of Evan & Jessica, it was a perfect match. Check out what we did downtown LA last week.
An Early Morning Shoot W/ @DexAlexander
Dex and I got up before the sun this morning to do some updated promo photos for him. He is a long time friend in the music world, of whom I have been a fan of for years. Dude can sing….
Here’s to more (hopefully near) future creative collaborations!
enjoy….
Nate & Amanda
Took some photos up in Hollywood of my friends Nate & Amanda. Had a blast with them, and love how these photos came out.

One of my favorite rock bands around. We went for a quick walk after these guys finished their set at the Silverlake Lounge. If your in LA, and dig rock n roll, you gotta se these guys live.

Snapped this of @NoahGundersen the other day. Do yourself a favor and get his E.P. titled “Family”. One of my favorite music finds of 2011.
