More Media — Promo
A couple shots from a shoot I did for More Media’s (@mmforeveryone) rebranding/website.
Photos: @MikeFoster - @POTSC
By now I could have an entire portfolio of Mike Foster. I am honored to have taken so many promo photos over the years for a person that not only inspires me with his work as an author/speaker/leader, but who also has become a rare friend in this ‘ol world. Here are just a couple shots I snapped of mike giving his People Of The Second Chance speil last night in Echo Park.
of course I also have to share a screen shot of his new website. I love how he used this photo we took last summer.
A Little @thblacklantern Inspired artwork
These guy’s (The Black Lantern) music inspires the kind of stuff few clients let me experiment with. Love it.
Portrait: @CoryJacob
Cory is a comedian working in Hollywood. I love this portrait we took the other day.
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.
