“Featured Artist” Rancho Mirage Art Affaire

Recently I had the great experience of photographing Lauretta Lowell. Lauretta is an incredibly talented artist who will be the “Featured Artist” at the 14th annual Rancho Mirage Art Affaire this weekend. Her art is in mixed media assemblages but she is equally talented in painting and other art genres. But even more, she is an incredible personality who has overcome great tragedy. Read about Lauretta and also see more of the photographs in a feature for Palm Springs Life Magazine, Palm Springs California. Here is the link to that story.. http://tinyurl.com/m9hc5oy Thanks!

A big Thank You to Blanche LeBeau who did a wonderful job of Makeup and Hair Styling. And along with her assistant Emma Mesrobian did so much to help organize the scenes and wardrobe and made it all great fun. Thank You!

“Six Dance Lessons In Six Weeks”

Still photography on a motion picture? Yes that is what I did in Budapest for seven weeks last year on the production of “Six Dance Lessons For Six Weeks”. Many of you may have seen this full page in your Sunday newspapers yesterday. The still photography is used for movie posters, advertising, public relations and so much more. Great Fun! So go see the movie when it is released in December! And no you won’t see me in it. It was my job to stay out of the way. Harder than you might think for sure!

Parade of Planes

Never fails, you are just driving down the street and some slow poke gets in front of you and holds everybody up. A Parade of Planes driving down the streets back to the airport from the Palm Springs Convention Center. Part of the Flying Aviation Expo that was here for the last three days with 10,000 people.

“Advanced Style”

Saw the documentary “Advanced Style” today. What a great and creative movie about life and getting a little older and having fun. Catch it in the theaters. You will be happy you did!

Any Volunteers?

What great ideas for photo shoots! Any volunteers? A commercial for Peroni at the beginning of a motion picture in the theaters. Just Wow!

Phil Collen Center Stage with Def Leppard

Last night… Def Leppard with Phil Collen center stage. What a powerful rocking performance! A sold out crowd on their feet the entire time. These guys are just incredible! And Phil Collen is still the ripped physique from when I photographed him for a feature and cover for IRON MAN MAGAZINE a few years ago. Outstanding! By the way I was not a photographer there for this show, so just an iPhone photo this time.

The Seduction of Día de Muertos

I think there is a certain seduction to what we call Día de Muertos, Day Of The Dead, All Hallow’s Eve, Halloween. The seduction here created by Natalie Lyle. And the Makeup and Hair Styling of the seduction also created by Natalie. From our photo shoot.

Can She Do That Or What!

Natalie Lyle is thinking about whether or not there will be enough days of Día de Muertos, Day Of The Dead, All Hallow’s Eve, Halloween to show you the photographs from our photo shoot. Can Natalie do a Dia de Muertos Makeup or what!
