Again, I didn't know their format or style so I just kinda went with it and shot with some premeditated styles I thought of while driving to the location.

I had her dip in the pool because I wanted that wet look but her face eventually washed off. Oh well, still looked cute. ;p

Teaser! // Revolt In Style • July 2010

So I got hit up at the last minute (like a day before) with a dope opportunity to shoot for a local scene magazine Revolt. It's a lifestyle magazine centered around the surf, "bro-man", Affliction/Tapout-wearing culture. Good stuff.

It was the first time I heard about this mag and given the time constraint and no chance to research their style, I went and shot a bunch of different looks. Because of this, I only got one photo published this round (besides my little bio pic) but hey, it's a giant-ass page. If they hit me up for another go, I'll mos def know the look they're going for and hopefully, I'll own like half the spreads. ;)

Here's the digital tear sheet of my shot.

SEXY, huh!

More to come soon!

Bikini Week 2010 CC3 @ Blond Martini Teaser 2

I was going through my shots and when I saw this one, I thought to myself, "Why the hell didn't I post this one instead?"



Awesome.


Oh, and the actual pics will be posted tomorrow!

Bikini Week 2010 // Casting Call 2 Pics!

So here are some of my favs of the day. So it's my first time shooting anything fashiony but I had a great time shooting for Bikini Week San Diego 2010. It was just a casting call so no crazy production or styling but it was still awesome.







Yeah, I know she isn't rocking a bikini. We just sort of did a mini test. But we had such awesome chemistry I think we'll get her in a bikini shoot soon enough. ;)














So that's about it. I can't wait to shoot more of this stuff! I'm going to set up some stuff this week.

1 & 1, We're Havin' Some Fun...

So here I present newlyweds Jason and Mary Beck! Yay!

I've known Mary since my AMC theater days back in 2001 and was actually pretty shocked when I heard she was getting married. I didn't even know she was dating anyone lol. But it's all good, though. Jason's actually a damn cool guy and I mos def approve. :) It just sucks he likes Newcastle over Corona. IMO, there's only two kinds of beer that go well w/ Mexican food (which was offered at the reception); Corona and Brahma. :p

Well, enough of that...Let's get on w/ the show!












This was an awesome learning experience. I had to get off work early since I was working all the way up in Oceanside and had to rush through traffic and heaps of downtown construction to get there just in time for the ceremony. I also learned that I really need to get a better on-camera flash. Since I upgraded from my Rebel XT, I haven't gotten a chance to get a compatible flash for my 5D2. I spent all my money on studio strobes...lé poo. So QUICK! Hire me! :D

And Another One...

Here's Nadeem's G ride.

Nadeem is a friend of my friend Eric Balseta who invited me for a li'l impromptu shot at La Jolla Shores. He was looking to get his car sponsored and was going to use this shot. I hope he gets it! I have another one that I want to edit but we'll see what's up...

More Spring Break Shots

So here's Hean So lol.

This kid's pretty cool. So damn random, but he's chill. He just started tattooing like a year ago or something but he's pretty damn good especially since he just started. We're slated to do my first one once I get back to SD. I can't wait!

Spring Break

Finally got these up.

I went back to Sunny San Diego for spring break and while it was a busy, busy week, it was still really good to be home. I had a couple assisting/intern gigs lined up but those fell through. I did, however, get a chance to sit down with those photographers and talk to them about the biz which was valuable as well. I got to eat my fish rolled tacos from Los Panchos off 3rd ave in Chula Vista as well as some In N' Out. Mom also got me some Do-Si-Dos girl scout cookies which made me grin ear to ear haha.

Anyway, here's a few of the pics that I was able to shoot during the break.

I did a portrait with a buddy, Joel from Team Showpow.

Big thx to him for letting me use his lights.

Alan from Showpow.

This kid I've known since like high school...and now he drives a Mercedes. Good stuffs, yo!
