Christophe at NYM was nice enough to send over Anthony to add to my portrait series, “Faces”. We gave the tent camera a shot, but I think I need to retool the studio lighting for the aerial lenses…I need more light! I’m thinking another 2 packs and a bi-tube should do...

So this is Little Smokey’s(Weed Tent Camera) first time out of the house.  My buddy Rico Elvina and I decided to give it a try on location .  There was a LOT of prep…we thought we had everything together…we got in our Zipcar Minivan, Shiloh, and took off.  30 minutes into...

Well after a long time of dreaming, thought, planning, and dedication, I’ve finally got the Giant Wet Plate built and ready for use.   It’s been a lot of fun trying to make this project work out.  It all started when I got the first piece of the project…the 6.3 20in. Air...

It was another beautiful day at the office.  The office, in this case was Smudge Photo Studio out in LA.  It’s a beautiful space with a giant corner Cyc wall.  Melissa and I arrived early and got to work.  It was a good thing as Guiliana and her people arrived early as well!  We had...

Continuing on with the Wet Plate Portrait Project, “Faces”. I had two great guys come over from Fusion Models. This is Caleb from Fusion Models.  I looked at Caleb’s book.  I saw the potential for him to be stronger, more visceral in his images.  I told him I wanted to...

Ok, I’ve become a little obsessed.  I guess when you go off into something new, it starts off small, but ends up becoming more than thought it would be when you started.  It’s frustrating, messy, complicated, fairly expensive, but OH, SO enjoyable when it works out well.  I...

Red Rock Canyon in Nevada has been on my list for a long time as a location that I would love to shoot.  Well, in October of 2012, myself and a friend of mine Larry both took a small road trip out of vegas to shoot some fine art nudes in one of our nations most beautiful natural places. We...

His name is “Hollywood” Hino Ehikhamenor.   Celebrity Trainer,  Star of The Contender Season 4,  Vh1′s Lala’s Full Court Life, and Let’s talk about Pep Professional Boxer, Hollywood gets around.   I  had the opportunity to shoot him recently at Trinity...

I had the opportunity to shoot at the ubiquitous Hotel Chelsea that was built between 1883 and 1885.  At the time it was built, at 12 stories, it was the tallest building in New York.  At the current time, the building is undergoing renovations, which hopefully can keep alive the personality...

I had the pleasure to shoot Jennifer Carpenter for Women’s Running Magazine for their March 2013 issue.   I’m a huge Dexter fan(Jennifer plays Dexter’s sister on the show), so this is one of the days that I truly love my job. Many Thanks to my Team: Photographer: James...

Here at the studio, things are about to get BIG!! I just picked up an aerial camera lens, which is a really huge lens. It weighs about 10 pounds and is 6 inches in diameter. That’s what I was looking for as I needed the lens to throw off enough light to cover about 20″x24″ or...

Hair is always fun to work with in beauty.  Whether it’s getting just the right, tight ponytail, or having fun with the fan, it’s always an integral part of my beauty shoots. Take the fan for instance, it can make all the difference in the final result if used well. This one uses...

Well, I got a nice email today that my latest cover for Women’s Running Magazine was out.   I flew out to LA a few months back to shoot Karina Smirnoff of Dancing with the Stars.  She was amazing and I have to say, a BALL of Energy!  The energy that the cover shows is completely her...

Hey there everyone, These images are the first in my attempt to shoot a fashion editorial in one day using the wet plate collodion process. The stylist(Fredo) and I got together and decided on a few things. We wanted to do a story that had a Josephine Baker influence to it. We also wanted to...

Along with the other work that Cat and Kerri did with me for my Black Silk Nudes project, we shot some wet plate that day as well.   The first one, below is an 8×10 Ruby Ambrotype. Here’s a photo that show the color of the glass…Ruby Ambrotypes are nice.  They have a nice...
