Thursday, November 3, 2011 at 8:17PM I made some quick portraits during a media work out session for UFC 137 of fighters Roy Nelson, Cheick Kongo, Matt Mitrione, Donald Cerrone, and Nate Diaz.
I tried to keep the lighting simple with a battery powered speedlight with a white shoot through umbrella as my main light and two Honl gridded speedlights as kicker lights.

Thursday, August 25, 2011 at 12:57AM What's it like to go to Florence, Italy and shoot photos of MTV's reality show, "Jersey Shore"? Well for one, you miss going to anything that other people want to see in Florence.
The cast and crew of the show (over 100 people) made the streets a traveling carnival. But carnivals and circuses make for an intersting subject. Shooting on the street is very unpredictable and hopefully I captured some of that in my photos.

Friday, August 19, 2011 at 10:59PM I had the opportunity to work with a couple of college football players, Kory Johnson and Robby Palacios of the Azusa Pacific University football team for a few portraits.
My friend, photographer Ben Chen worked on the project together. You can see his images from the same portrait session on his blog.
Here are photos of Kory Johnson.
These are some of Robby Palacios.
Friday, July 16, 2010 at 3:24AM I was assigned to shoot some stills of Michelle "Bombshell" McGee for the television show, "Inside Edition", at a San Diego hotel. The main goal was to let the television crew do their job and for me to provide photos for promotion. I just used the available light in the room for some portraits and then used a sound blimp to document the on camera interview.
