P.Taylor Clothing Shoot with Brandy Snow

Started the year off right working with the Martini Factory crew shooting the upcoming line for P.Taylor Clothing.  Model Brandy Snow and I had a blast creating different editorial looks and throughout the spacious studio.  Here are a few of my favorites.

The Making of the Lepidoctor Movie Poster

I was fortunate enough to be asked by director Jonathan Barenboim to create the poster for his film The Lepidoctor. I pitched the concept of butterflies swirling around the lead character played by Jacob Bertrand in a moody environment. Under the banner of VINPIX Studios, we set up a photo shoot with Jacob and later my graphics and design partner Max Miceli took all of the elements and created the awesome composition you see below.

Working with Jonathan's vision, shooting with Jacob and collaborating with Max made the whole process a totally positive experience.

Creating the Goldenbox movie poster

I was lucky enough to work with director Matt MacDonald on the concept and production of his film's movie poster. Goldenbox is about the antics of two best friends on a James Bond-esque adventure. I photographed the two leads, Johnny Wactor and Chris Hayes on a sound stage and later the brilliant Max Miceli created the final poster composite.

In addition to the poster we also shot Matt's publicity image, creating a playful Hefner/Bond theme. Special thanks to Parisa Azamian for being our beautiful Bond Girl.

Just because you put a group of talented people together in a room does not guarantee every idea- is a good idea
