Blast from the Past

A long time ago in a place far far away I used to only shoot film.
One of my favorite types of film to shoot was Polaroid Type 55 Film. Sadly, this film is no longer even being made and is becoming very hard to get a hold of. I loved it so much because for about $2 pre sheet you got a 4x5 polaroid and negative film from one image. One of my favorite images taken with Type 55 was a portrait of my good friend
Benjamin. Here is the image.



This was shot with very shallow depth of field. The blue cast was done in post
( digital ) but that was the only thing done digitally altering from the original.

Skin Graft Designs

So one of my favorite LA designers is Skin Graft Designs. They have a wonderful
Victorian Punk feel to their clothing. You can learn lots more about them here:

My favorite NIN video

This is my favorite video I created for an online music festival for NIN.
The second person in the vid is actually me
( I am allowed to cameo if I want to ) with the longest my hair has ever been. It is not that long any more, and now the color is different... but I digress.
If you are or know of any bands looking to do music videos then point them in my direction, cause I am looking to do more creative filming.

Kucoon Designs

Not to long ago I had the pleasure of working with Kucoon Designs.

My good friend and makeup artist Brianna Ford came over with her pink hair too, and well I just had to shoot her with the Elmo.

Here is a NIN music video I didi with Sherri.

NIN Music Videos

Here is one of the videos I shot and edited for the NIN music video festival. The model is the beautiful Gizel.

I like to think of this video as an experiment in motion with beautiful results.
The music of NIN adds to the eery sensual tone set by the repetitive yet random motion
of her golden strands swaying back and forth. The slow motion footage plays backward
giving Gizel the appearance of being underwater, then the footage repeats forwards to
ground the experience.

Special thanks to the Raven Family Ranch.
