California Dreaming...

.... We're back in MPLS now and gearing up to shoot in town again this week. After shooting a few projects in sunny CA last week, it's time to find the Sorels back here at home. Just a quick snap for the time being from last week, more to come...

Learning From The Best...

A huge turning point for me as a shooter was learning how to work with real people & working in a way that made them comfortable and allowed us to work together to capture the most authentic images possible, together. Nothing has served me better than the time I have spent in Latin America shooting over the years. Images that I love, lessons learned and experience that I carry with me on any and all productions that we work on...speaking of, we're working on some really RAD stuff, just you wait...

International Institute of Minnesota...

..... Shot a bit for the International Institute of Minnesota the other week. Some on location shoots throughout the day ended with us shooting a family getting to the US for the first time. A really interesting experience and shoot to be a part of as you're photographing a very delicate and super intense moment. The family of 10 had never flown before and getting into MSP was both their first time in a plane and on US soil, I was grateful to be there. A few shots of some of the girls waiting for their luggage...heading out of town to shoot some really cool stuff soon!...updates on the way...

Corn For Thought...

...... It's great to be out shooting more agriculture work on these lovely fall days! I always feel lucky to be out there in the fields, asking questions and snapping away. Great to work with farmers all over the country again this year. Thanks to all involved!

Grow Baby Grow!...

Some old agriculture footage seemed to fit this tune pretty well...time to harvest!

Almost Time...

...... We were north of the border shooting some more hockey stuff with cute kids a little while back. Winter is but a month or two away, time to sharpen the skates!

Running With The Woodchuck...

In case you missed this post on The Egotist last week, here is a short motion spot we shot for Woodchuck a few weeks back. Enjoy, and you might as well get Woodchucked yourself...

How Much Wood, Would A Woodchuck...

......... A few weeks back we started shooting with Woodchuck. A super cool company in Minneapolis making everything out of wood! Stay tuned for some motion from the project, and until then, enjoy a few still shots...

Out On The Boardwalk...

....... Had a brilliant time a few weeks ago in Atlantic City. Can't wait for the start of the season in a few weeks, that's all I can say for now. Thanks to all involved, many, many hands helped to make this a great project!

The Best Part Of Waking Up...

...... Just a teeny, tiny teaser from a spec project we worked on a while back. The best is yet to come from this, so stay tuned...we're getting ready to go roll some dice next week and estimating some equally as awesome shoots at the moment...

Fields Of Gold...

...... It's agriculture time of the year! This is when we're out in the fields, getting mud on our shoes (and cameras) and enjoying the beauty of the mid-west. We've been out shooting it the last few weeks and are continuing with that theme throughout the upcoming weeks. Learning a lot, shooting a lot and having a lot of fun, agriculture shoots always produce awesome images! Just wanted to share some snaps from a few weeks back, enjoy!

I'm Lovin' It / McDonald's...

......... I was down in Chicago a few weeks back with McDonald's. We were asked to go down to create a series of lifestyle images for what is one of the most iconic brands in the world. I had a great time and really enjoyed working with everyone on board! Thanks a million! We really were lovin' it...

Whoa, Sorry To Be MIA!...

......... Ohio is where we are calling home this week. I just realized that I have not checked in on the blog for a few weeks and am getting back to it! It's been a wild few weeks of being on the road and shooting through a very busy June. More updates to come as the work becomes available, until then, enjoy a few quick snapshots to our week with corn/soy/wheat here in the great mid-west...

We're All Excited...

....... We're on the road quite a bit in the upcoming weeks, which will be great and we'll be working with some great clients in great places. Speaking of great, the World Cup starts next week. Take some time to enjoy it, should be fun!...
