30 Seconds To Mars

posted in Inspiration, Music, Photography, blog Thursday, September 30, 2010

Here is the set from 30 Seconds To Mars.

I appreciate the fact they spend so much making their videos the highest quality. Some of the most beautiful music videos I have ever seen come from 30 Seconds To Mars. Love when a band actually gets visual and cinematic.

Before you look at my photos. Please watch a video or all of them. Serious inspiration.

Blink-182

posted in Music, Photography, Thoughts, blog Wednesday, September 29, 2010

Last weekend my buddy Scott Simock and I attended KROQ Epicenter 2010. First, thank you again to the KROQ family for giving me the chance to see/photograph incredible bands. You all freaking rule. At Epicenter I got to see bands like Eminem, Big Boi, Rise Against, 30 Seconds to Mars, Against Me!, KISS, and of course Blink-182. I had such an incredible time, despite it being 110 degrees and on black asphalt. No humidity, just a blazing oven with thousands of crazed fans out to see their favorite artists.

A quick little back story. Blink-182 was my favorite band growing up. Anyone who really knows me will definitely know that. Believe it or not they actually played a role in how I got into Film-making. Video production was offered to me my Jr. year in high school and I said to myself…”I always wanted to learn how they did the cool camera tricks (photos turning to video, video turning to photo) in the Adam’s Song music video.” Day one in video production I fell in love and have been pursuing it ever since. Now I am not a little crazed “fan-boy” or anything, I just really appreciate them for inspiring me into my career. I definitely still love their music.

That being said, I was most excited about shooting/seeing them. Oddly enough it was one of my least favorite sets of photographs. Nothing due to the band, but due to the stage being so tall and the position of the event’s stage lighting. I was getting mainly black backgrounds. The front house spot lights just created a flat wash. Enough excuses, I had 3 songs to shoot and I just didn’t come through. Hopefully this wont be my last time shooting them and I can supply them with some much better content next time around.

Big thanks to Blink-182 for the show. Thank-you Aissa and Gus for coordinating and giving me a pass to shoot.

Summer

posted in Photography, Travel, blog Saturday, September 04, 2010

First I wanted to say sorry to everyone. Things have been as crazy as ever for the past couple months.

I was in 3 car accidents, I got extremely ill for a couple weeks, and work had ceased. All in all, it was just a very difficult time.
I booked a ticket home to Oklahoma just so I could go do some shooting. Needed to get them bills paid!
Well plans never seem to happen the way you plan them.

I got to Oklahoma and then work started pouring in. Jobs in and out of the country have come up. Some are happening, some are not.
Some possibilities with a Television show & some possibilities with some music videos. I have been in Tennessee for a couple weeks now, with a trip to Seattle in between. With all the work coming in, I am seriously debating subletting my apartment in LA. No need to pay for something I am not using. I only packed a weeks worth of clothes and have now been gone a month. It will be at least another week before I am able to go back to LA and other work may keep that from happening.

I have absolutely loved my time here in Nashville. My friends and the people I have met here have made this trip amazing. I have been here working relentlessly with Jeremy Cowart on his upcoming tutorial dvd. I am very excited to wrap this project and get it to you all. I think it’s something that could definitely benefit all photographers.

There are so many things coming up and in the works. I promise to have some more content/updates for you all soon. In the mean time, in Seattle, I took my first jab at shooting “implied nudity.” I am very picky when it comes to this type of work. I wanted to be completely sure of what the final outcome should look like before I even asked my friend to shoot. It was definitely a learning experience. Here is my favorite.
