New Work: Nov. '24 to Feb '25

I used to be better about blogging regularly, but life happens, and the more I fall behind, the more daunting the task is of catching up. In an effort to at least loosely keep my blog followers informed (few as they may be), here’s a batch of new work that I’ve made over the past two months…

Slipknot X Revolver Magazine Photo Shoot

This shoot was a make-it-work situation, if ever there was one. I was given 30-minutes to shoot a magazine cover as well as individual portraits of each member of @slipknot for @revolvermag. Apparently I didn’t think this was tall enough of an order, so I decided to shoot four different color schemes, both with and without a prism…

Cyberpunk Photo Shoot for Unsplash+

I was recently commissioned by Unsplash to create a series of cyberpunk-inspired images. Though the cyberpunk aesthetic is especially trendy as of late, it has held a spot near to my heart ever since I was a teen in the nineties…

Projector Photo Shoot : A Collaboration with Digital Artist Christopher Royal King

I recently collaborated with musician and digital artist @christopherroyalking. He created a bunch of images that I used to project onto @_soniaconstable. These images were created strictly with in-camera effects (no photoshop was used)— a fact that I especially pride myself in, in a time of AI-generated imagery.

Elastic Plastic: Exploring a New Material with Alayna

Here's some recent work with @a.bean.sprout. It's been a couple years since our last collaboration and was a great time of conversation and art-making. I especially had fun exploring shooting through a piece of plastic that my friend @davidtsigler salvaged from an old Mac monitor. The red in that first image is actually a warped reflection of the red shirt I happened to be wearing at the shoot. My mind is still pouring over the possibilities that this material affords me.

Shoot with Lit for Their New Album, Tastes Like Gold

Back in February I drove down to Nashville to shoot with the 90’s icons, Lit, as they prepared to drop their latest album, Tastes Like Gold. It was super rad to work with a band that broad me so much joy as a teen in the 90s.
