july news

i had the opportunity to photograph kate voegele (above) and natasha bedingfield (below) while they were in town.  i haven't taken live music photos since my days shooting hardcore shows in the late '90s.. its a lot different when you can't stagedive.  the other photographers were looking at me like i was crazy because they were shooting with their digital slr's and i was using my 16lb mamiya rb67 aptly nicknamed "the tank" but all in all i really like what i got.

below are some new photos i took this month for my ongoing series of photos i take when i have go-see's.  no makeup, no styling, just models as-is.


coincidentally unrelated to my post about my new shoes (see previous post "ah summer") my former agency-mate mike piscitelli tapped me to photograph john varvatos for an upcoming issue of malibu magazine.   below is my favorite outtake and yes, i did buy another pair of beekman oxfords in a different color.
