Sugarpuss

fun day, did some shooting for the updates for Jen Summers' lingerie line, Sugarpuss.  

Hair by Maggie, Makeup by Bara:) Mitra hittin the poses and me on the one's and two's.

Shot on location at Minx on Sutter, this very cool lil bar with some innnnnnteresting decor.

Assisted by Albert today, and Dave provided support.  It was a great vibe, everybody got along really well, and there was a nice casual vibe throughout the entire day. I forget, but I think we did five? outfits, quickstyle, as we ended up with only bout two hours to shoot in the allotted time.

I may have picked up two quick gigs out of this, one of em being a calendar, which is nice.  

The image above was just me fuckin about.  Desaturated, dodged and burned, blurred, etc. etc.

Charlie Brown and the Lil Redhead Girl

something  I needed to get out of my head. My buddy Dave, and Jeska.  Maybe I'll write more about this later.

more LeVesque:)

fine. she's holding the can wrong.  Obviously she's never crushed one on her forehead before.  I must revisit this idea. meanwhile, dang, lookit that body:P

Welcome to the Gun Show!!!!

I need to do some more stuff like this.  Fun times:) Rome had  great attitude.  This is a few months old, had to go back and take a second look.  I'm wondering if when I'm shooting this stuff, I should be composing in camera or not.  If i'd had been farther back, I probably could've done more with the image, etc.  

Michele Levesque

Michele and I've been wanting to work together for over a year now.  Not an easy thing to do considering she's from Canada, but I fiiiiiinally got a chance to earlier today.  Freaking amazing and great fun.  Wish I had more time.

SuperMaya?

another shot of Maya, just to keep me occupied.  She's an amazing, very physical model.  Wish I'd thought out what I'd wanted more.  My Steampunk Mazinger toy is behind her, and in my head, they're two members of a whole league of characters.

Note to self, need more gears and miscellany for my brush collection.

starting off the new year...slowly.

starting the New Year going through a lot of the unfinished work from the previous year, and files I hadn't looked at in awhile.  This one is an image of Maya Lei that I just started working on earlier today.  There's a whole series of her with just amazingly cool facial expressions.  I spent a lot of time evening out the color and smoothing out the skin, then discovered I liked it better in black and white. Ah well.

And look, it comes with  a snazzy new squid watermark:)
