By far my largest, most ambioutous project to date.
Three models, three locations, three days.
Each model has her own unique location, props, lighting style etc.
For the full story on I came to do this project, and how I can now apparently stop rain, click here.

The location for this shoot has to be one of my favorites, and quite possibly the reason why this series turned out to be so stylistic. Well, okay, maybe Lexxy, (Alexandra Rodionova), did have something to do with why the shots look so incredible.
This is one of our famous spontaneous shoots where we just got out from in front of the computer with the goal to create art.
Every once in a while when the shots turn out to have such potential I tend to take my time working on them. Like a fine wine each sip must be savored for all it’s worth. This is why it took me a year and a half to work on the entire set. And the great thing about this shoot is that a hand full of these ended up being full page advertisements for various products!
Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed working on them!

A Study in melting.
While on a photo walk I discovered these amazing natural ice sculptures near a set of thawing out docks. The way the light was coming in from the setting sun was so unique and inspiring. I spent a long time relaxing and talking hundreds of pictures.
The chaotic beauty here reminds me once again that nature is indeed a great artist.

This is a fun little shoot I have to share with you today. This shoot is based on a scene in the movie Paranoid Park. I never know what to expect from a Gus Van Sant movie, and this one really held my attention. I saw the movie on a Tuesday. The next day I get a call from a woman who wants to work with me. I told her that I was thinking about trying to bring the scene I saw in the movie into a photo, and she was totally onboard. So that Friday I found myself in bathroom with her in my shower. This looks like an easy shoot, but keep in mind that her eyes are open while under the running water. She did an excellent job helping me achieve my goal. Once we go what we wanted we just goofed around and went on to get some more great shots.
