Ali

I have always loved this photo. My buddy Ali Harris. We were up above Pioneertown in Yucca Valley CA doing a sportswear shoot. Makeup Artist Natalie Lyle was there too. We were all good friends and having a lot of fun. It was just plain getting cold and I gave Ali this blanket to keep warm in between setups. Just happened to shoot this photograph. The sportswear was great but I thought this was just beautiful. Thanks!

At The Beach

A behind the scenes look at a past photo and video shoot for Bodybuilding.com. Here with two of my assistants and makeup artist Victoria Rubell on the left. And obviously a behind the scenes photographer. We are off to the side as the video crew was shooting.

The video was shot to promote BodySpace, the social media for people interested in bodybuilding and fitness. It was designed to be done around my photoshoots which was for print advertising and magazine and online features.

From here on the beach in Marina Del Rey, we moved to the famous Gold’s Gym in Venice for the rest of the shoot.

Cobra Attack!

I heard them but they were on me before I could even get ready. I got my iPhone out of my pocket. I had just finished up a day of flight operations at the Palm Springs Air Museum. We were just getting ready to close the gates on the ramp.

Those Red Shoes

She told me they were actually easy to wear and walk in. I sure do have the best luck with tall models named Maria!

Photo shoot notes… Hasselblad digital camera system and Broncolor lighting.

Fit And Edgy

One of my favorite models, Bailey Daniels. Both fitness and edgy. Perfect for me! My go-to outdoor lighting system in bright overhead Palm Springs sun. The Broncolor white beauty dish, one head on a Broncolor 1200L Move pack. Hasselblad digital camera system. My other favorite outdoor lighting is none, just the bright sun. I like the harshness. Thanks!

All Torn Up

Best use of thrift shop fashion ever. Styled and torn up by model Ambers Flowers. Studio photo shoot with a Hasselblad digital camera system and Broncolor lighting. Thanks!

Sergi

From my photo shoot with bodybuilder Sergi Constance, here in the desert near Palm Springs California.

A photo shoot that would work in today’s social distancing. Just myself and Sergi in the desert with no one around at all. Also simply done with a Canon 1V camera body, Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens and Kodak Tri-X film. Thanks!

Fire Attack Helo

An opportunity I had to fly alongside Ventura County Fire. They had just filled up from a lake below. A huge Thanks to my buddies who made this happen. That was a tremendous flight!

C-130 Parallel Parking

How good are you at parallel parking your car? Well how about parallel parking a C-130 Hercules!
