Chicago Fitness Model Ethan Maxwell Landry…

I had the opportunity earlier this year to work with fitness model Ethan Maxwell Landry (a.k.a. Eh Moo La) a couple of times when he traveled to New York City from his home in Chicago. You can’t tell it from his photographs, but Ethan (a.k.a. Moo) is a rather private and shy person. Recently, New [...]

With the help of a trainer/nutritionist, his hard [...]

Greg Johnson Photo Shoot…

I shot with Greg Johnson from Colby Models recently. It was honestly one of the best shoots I’ve done in the five years I’ve been shooting with models. Greg walked in the studio. We chatted about the concepts a bit and then we started shooting. From the first frame, he absolutely nailed it pose after [...]

The Summer of Aiden Dhaval

After five fantastic photo shoots this summer with him… I think I can truly call this The Summer of Aiden Dhaval… and it was a hot one! Aiden and I first met through Model Mayhem back in 2008 when we did our ‘paint’ series shoot. We instantly clicked and have been good friends ever [...]

A Ford Model

I’ve done three shoots over the past few months with Paul Bermudez, a model represented by the Ford Modeling Agency. All three shoots were a lot of fun. Paul is very easy-going and great to work with. He’s always contributing ideas to the shoot. He’s not only a great model to shoot… but has become [...]

Killer Shoot

I had a wonderful shoot this past weekend with Karim. This was the fourth time that Karim and I have shot together. We really ‘clicked’ on this shoot. He had been hitting the gym hard since the last time we shot in September, so he was feeling confident about the new and improved body. That [...]

iPhone Sunset

This photo was shot a couple of days ago along the Hudson River. Christian had just bought some new sunglasses at the Columbus Avenue street fair. Seemed like a good use of my new iPhone’s 2.0 megapixel camera. I think it showed off the sunset reflection fairly well. — Posted from my iPhone
A busy weekend…

This past weekend was busy with three shoots and a go-see test shoot. I was very pleased with the images that we created. Friday was Dominic… Saturday was Karim… Sunday was Alexander… And Monday was a test shoot with Jay… Now I have a lot of editing and retouching to do. Wish me luck! .
Lorenzo

I had a test shoot earlier tonight with a guy named Lorenzo Jimenez. He had contacted me by email after seeing my photographs somewhere. This was one of the test shots… Needless to say, Lorenzo and I will be doing a shoot in the near future. Hopefully this Sunday.
A Great Holiday Weekend

Alaink … from our September 3rd shoot I worked with some amazing models this holiday weekend. I don’t quite believe it myself, but I think I shot over 4,500 photos this weekend. On Monday, I shot for nearly nine hours straight. And I loved every minute of it. Now I just have a hell of [...]
Angel in the Light

I know that lighting is everything. Bad lighting makes you look bad and good lighting makes you look good. And then there are a few times that lighting is just… well… everything… This image was the result of an accident. As I was shooting Angel and he was looking all sexy, one of my studio [...]
