Sport Compact Car - S2000 Cover Shot

Here is a before/after of a recent cover shot I did for Sport Compact Car magazine. There is actually one more image which I used for the reflections on the side of the car but I opted not to include it in the before shot. The issue should be released this month so check it out if you get a chance.

Lexus IS F

I recently collaborated with Tunerzine.com and Lexus for a photoshoot of the new IS F. I'm not much into writing reviews, but I will say that this car is an amazing machine. It does tend to lean more toward luxury than overall performance but the 5 liter V8 it packs is no joke. Anyway there are more images to come but enjoy this one for the time being.

Digital Photographer Magazine - Issue #64

I was fortunate enough to be picked for an interview in Digital Photographer magazine. It is located in the U.K. but you can actually pick it up anywhere at your local bookstore. The issue is #64. They don't go by months just issue #'s. Anyway check it out if you get a chance. I am pretty proud of it.

Siphon Cover #5

I thought this was kinda funny. Here is the final and then the before/after cover shots for the new issue of Siphon magazine. You can see that they modified the processed version to fit the layout for the actual cover. This issue should be out on newstands fairly soon.

Bentley Continental GT

Added a new piece to the portfolio. The car was studio lit and the background was put together from multiple images. You can actually get a real life shot similar to the image I put together, but the problem you will face are the trees and signs that block the building. I was going to attempt to clone away the trees, but I think this works just as effectively. It's actually a bit better this way because I have control over how large the building is in relation to the car.

Print is also available on the main site.

S.W.A.T. Series - 3rd Place - IPA Awards *updated

Recently I was given an award for my S.W.A.T. series.

3rd Place - Digitally Enhanced Category
International Photography Awards 2007
S.W.A.T. Series

You can view the entry here. That project was part of a joint collaboration between another fellow photographer Blair Bunting and I. I won't get into specifics, but this joint venture has since ended.


Now as chance would have it, I was recently contacted by a different S.W.A.T. team and hired to shoot a group photo of their team. I decided to make the best of the situation and get the exact poses I needed to update the old images so I could fully call them my own. I still need to update the rain shot and I plan on adding a third original image to the series, but I decided to show the first one off for the time being. As for the group photo, I should have that done in a few days so check back next week.

To be honest I like the newer version alot more than the old one. The outfit he has on seems alot more S.W.A.T. to me. The other one seemed more military.

Blog Launch
So I finally got around to starting a blog. Here I will talk about my self, post new images, and talk about myself some more. =)

The blogging software I used is called
Presstopia. View their website here. It was fairly easy to setup and surprisingly easy to match to my main website's theme. It runs on ASP .NET and supports SQL, MSAccess,  and MySQL databases. For anyone looking for a simple, minimal blog I highly suggest you check it out.
