Loving all the fall delicacies that Minnesota has to offer. As many of us have done at this time of the year, I was lucky to take a day of recently and head out to an apple orchard for a day of rich yellows, rust reds and plenty of crisp apples.
From the city that never sleeps, and apparently never walks either... Leaving for Ecuador this week for a very interesting shoot. Looking forward to sharing updates upon getting back into the states, until then, we're not sure what we'll get up onto the blog while on location. 
Yesterday was Guatemalan independence day. I was lucky to spend quite a bit of time in Guatemala over the last few years and just wanted to share an image from Guatemala as they celebrate 189 years of independence...
Always a treat to be able to share new work that you are excited about. This was a recent shoot, one that we also shot video on which when the cut comes back, will certainly be available as a blog post. I think this job produced some of new work that will be taking us in a new direction for future shoots... of course, thanks a million to all who helped out on this...
Enjoyed shooting in the "dog days" of summer recently. Looking forward to some autumn shoots coming up though, a good sweater and perhaps a hot cider.
I recently had the opportunity to photograph Ron Schultz for the Lawdragon 500, profiling the top 500 lawyers in American. Ron, a Minneapolis based lawyer, is one of the top lawyers being profiled in the upcoming campaign. I wanted to shoot this different that a normal shot you might see and ended up finding this awesome little pocket of light in the exit ramp of a nearby parking garage. So I asked Ron if we could go out, in the 95 degree heat, walk across a work zone and use this small, yet totally great, space. We shot there, the light was good and Ron's suit was perfect. And now, should I ever need (hopefully not!) a lawyer, I know who to call...
Excited to be up on Found Folios this year, just recently got up my portfolios which will be changing throughout the year as new work comes in. This is a really cool online portfolio that allows past, present and future clients to see a good selection of work in a easy to navigate format. Right now there are three galleries up to browse, with a diverse selection of work from all sorts of assignments. To check it out, go to Found Folios.
On a recent shoot for The Garage, we had a lot of great talent on set. The only thing missing was something to bring them together, something for them to interact with to give us the imagery we needed. I came across a small red ball, which ended up being the answer we needed. As they talked, played and laughed, the ball threw in just the right amount of color and distraction. We walked away with some great frames, easily one of the best "distracting red bouncy ball with youth" shoots I have ever done...
Had the chance to shoot a the cover and a spread for Imagine Pub recently. Have not yet had the chance to see the tears, but am looking forward to see which images they choose to go with... Off to shoot a story for an LA based magazine today...
Getting images processed after a great shoot out east with Bauer. Some new angles and a new set to shoot on this year allowed for some great new content. Really excited to get it out and see how it looks. 
A few pulls from our recent shoot our East. Thanks to everyone involved for all their great help and direction. Can't wait to see some of these in use, there was some great stuff in there... even if it meant laying down on driveways in 100 degree heat.
Getting bags and cameras packed to go do a quick shoot in Iowa this weekend...
Just got done shooting 25,000+ shots in five days. Resting the fingers and starting to sift through them before getting the job out the door. In the mean time, thought I would share some recently captured portraits. People in their places, for me, always interesting... Stay tuned for updates from Virginia...
