Shooting for T-Mobile and Publicis
Here’s some images I shot in Los Angeles for the creative team at Publicis Seattle and T-Mobile. I also created a gallery with more to see here. We shot over several very busy days. It’s the way I like to work. We create scenarios and block out specific needs for the client. Then I shoot [...]
Shooting in LA
I have shot in Miami but I feel that the talent is more diverse and of greater depth due to the film business here. … And since most of my shoots are for the entire US (and sometimes the world) we have to make it appear like it is anywhere.
Google Mapping and Scouting
We have been off to a running start this year. Currently, we are prepping for a campaign for a cell phone company to be shot in Los Angeles. My producer and I have been busy going over the details including selection of the locations. Google Maps’ Street View has been amazing at enabling us to [...]
Still/Motion in Hawaii
We shot a week of stills then I directed a week of motion on the RED (new chip). … Can’t tell you much but here is those behind the scenes shots that everyone loves.
High Above The Eventi!

Drumstick On-line Videos and Print ads

And now that the videos and print ads have been released I wanted to tell you about them. I was shooting for JWT New York’s client Drumstick. It’s [...]
St. Regis New York Ad in W Magazine
On the back inside cover of the May issue of Conde Nast’s W magazine is a shot I took for Starwood’s St. Regis Hotel here in New York. We had to shoot in the lobby very early in the morning (2am) so as not to inconvenience any guests. I love to show motion in a [...]
Femibion–The Director’s Cut
Don’t get me wrong, I like the client’s version of the commercial but I wanted to try something with faster cutting and a change of music. … In the future, I hope to be able to do more director’s cuts to present to the agency as my thoughts on the project.
HPV Video Spot for DDB New York
This motion capture direction has given me many new things to be excited about these days. Though my still work is cinematic by nature and I work with actors, it has given me a new prospective to think about and is invigorating.
Jumping for JWT
Originally, we hoped to shoot in LA after the last shoot but with recent rains the lakes dropped to 52 degrees. … This was a combination of stills and video, including some water footage with a 5D in a housing.
