Whole Cooked Pig Malibu Style

admin — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 04:51:28 +0000

A small party on the beach in Malibu with a whole cooked pig in a Cuban BBQ box. Marinated for three days, brought to room temp, then cooked for 4 hours until the skin was crisp and the meat fell off the bones. We surfed then ate like cavemen. I played around with a slower shutter speed to give the pics some movement.IMG_9065 IMG_9046 IMG_9040 IMG_9033 IMG_9031 IMG_9025 IMG_9021 IMG_9018 IMG_9014 IMG_9009 IMG_9007 IMG_9002 IMG_9000 IMG_8998 IMG_8996 IMG_8992 IMG_8991 IMG_8984 IMG_8983 IMG_8976 IMG_8973 IMG_8970 IMG_8963 IMG_8957 IMG_8951 IMG_8950 IMG_8948 IMG_8943 IMG_8936 IMG_8934 IMG_8932 IMG_8930 IMG_8923 IMG_8920 IMG_8919 IMG_8916 IMG_8909 IMG_8906 IMG_8905 IMG_8903 IMG_8899 IMG_8896 IMG_8891

One Seriously Sexy House For Sale

admin — Tue, 24 May 2011 00:01:01 +0000

One of the benefits of shooting real estate in Malibu is getting access to so many amazing homes. I recently shot this on Malibu Road over a period of three days and my jaw kept hitting the floor every time I set foot inside. The place is seriously sexy!
Over 1200 images were shot ( a lot of bracketing!) and at the end the agents got about 70 selects. Enjoy!
The website can be found here www.24166maliburoad.com with more horizontally oriented images.

Victoria’s Secret Hosts Blogger’s and Stylist Lunch and Fig and Olive

admin — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 21:09:35 +0000

First, I want to give praise to the Victoria’s Secret company for doing something so right in the age of social media, Facebook, and blogging when so many companies seem lost and confused on what to do! They completely hit the nail on head with the luncheon they threw last week at the Fig and Olive restaurant in Los Angeles. Here’s why they are so smart. They choose a great restaurant with amazing food and invited the best fashion bloggers, writers, and stylists to attend a private lunch with Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Candice Swanepoel, three top super models from Victorias Secret. The invitees where allowed to spend time with each of the models asking about fashion and their latest campaign to promote the new swimsuit line. Numerous girls were seen shooting photos and uploading them seconds later to their blogs and FB pages while others quickly got updates out to their Twitter accounts when something interesting was said. Also brilliant was Victoria’s Secrets use of Ipads which were placed on the tables where the guest could check out the new shopping interface where swimsuits tops and bottoms could be mixed and matched online. Guests included Jennifer Chan, Lindsay Miller, Emily Schuman of Cupcakes and Cashmere, Kathryn Romeyn, Hillary Kerr, Raha Lewis, Marcy Medina, Rachel Zalis, Caroline Cagney, Rebecca Resnick, and Sari Tuschman. Thanks again to Victoria’s Secret for hiring me to be the event photographer!DSC_8275 DSC_8140 DSC_8958 DSC_8678 DSC_8615 DSC_8788 DSC_8509 DSC_8504 DSC_8397 DSC_8779 DSC_8943 DSC_8904 DSC_8892 DSC_8868 DSC_8846

Duran Duran Show At The Mayan Theater 2011

admin — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 23:32:06 +0000

American Express puts on a fantastic concert series featuring great bands paired with famous directors. The series is called “American Express Unstaged” and I recently got to be the exclusive photographer and shoot Duran Duran for two days at the Mayan Theater in downtown Los Angeles. In attendance was Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, Moby, Marilyn Manson, Kelis, Mark Ronson, and bunch of other characters and fans. I used a Nikon D3 with the 80-200 f2.8 and a D700 with a 200-400 f4. Over 2000 images were shot on the second night and over 200 were syndicated on the Patrick McMullan website. American Express had a great team to work with and I’m hoping to shoot the next concert series.
