After receiving an Andres Serrano book as a xmas present, I was inspired to do portraits in a style similar to his. So I broke out the flash kit and tried something a little different. Controlled lighting in a controlled atmosphere… making a simple illustration of the head. I was really pleased with the results and I hope to do more of these with all types of people.
I’m very excited to have one of my favorite portraits published… Enrique Olvera seen here in Complot Magazine…
So it’s been a while… Despite my best efforts to post once a month minimum, it’s been two months since my last post. I will try to do better, if only to encourage myself to shoot more.
These pictures are a few of hundreds of pictures I took on my summer vacation to Europe. Here are some highlights from Prague:
I signed up for a class at ICP, to see if I could learn some new tricks, and for our first assignment I was asked to photograph a neighborhood other than my own. I heard good things about Gowanus, which is a neighborhood in Brooklyn based off a canal, and since I had done some work in the canals in Mexico City, I thought it would be perfect. As the class continues, I will apparently be spending a lot more time here as well…. so stay tuned.

Oil in the water (the water is very dirty, but various groups are trying to get it cleaned up):
There are about four or five houseboats on the canal:

This summer I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding for a great couple, Josie and Evan. Here are some highlights:
