Cypress Hill behind the scenes

2010-04-21T23:18:00.000-07:00

Here's a short behind the scenes video from my Cypress Hill shoot for LA Weekly. I had an hour with them and this is from the beginning of the shoot, the "getting to know them" and the first few min of shooting. This is the first location out of two. These guys are still rad and I really dig their new song Get it Anyway. Check it out! as well as the cover, out Thursday. Art Direction- Darrick Rainey

Nathan Apffel

2010-04-16T13:35:00.000-07:00

I photographed Nathan Apffel last week for the OC Weekly. He directed Lost Prophets "—Search for the Collective is among the most beautifully shot, well-edited and fully realized movies in this year’s festival, let alone the Action Sports category. It follows eight surfers scattered all over the world, but several Orange Countians are involved in the project. And the waters off Newport Beach inspired the documentary’s director." It will be in the Newport Beach Film Festival running through April 29th.

I met Nathan at Manhattan Beach to shoot a portrait. The only time he could shoot was from 10-noon which is always the worst part of day to shoot, yet alone at the beach with the glaring sun! I went into it with doubts but came out happy getting these shots. I blew out some of the background and whites to focus on him. I wanted to get some more personality/fun shots of him so he did a belly flop into the waves. So rad!

photos for LA Marathon

2010-03-25T16:10:00.000-07:00

I know its been a while since I've posted here..I've been super busy with work and moving into my new Loft in Downtown LA! (photos to come)
I was hired last weekend to shoot creative, city "POV" shots for LA Marathon. It wasn't my "normal" type of gig but it was exciting none the less. At one point, I was riding my bike up hill with the runners! I probably should of trained for that since my bicycle is a free spirit.. :)
We started shooting at 6:45 am and earlier, and got the whole race and in between moments. I'm posting a few of my over 500 shots here.

my family goes up to Lake Arrowhead every year for the Christmas holiday. I took a few photos off the dock in the water reflection and of the moss in the lake. It was really warm this year and we couldn't snowboard so we just hung out instead.

Cover and new portraits for The Best of LB

2009-10-14T22:53:00.000-07:00

I shot this week's cover for The District Weekly Best of LB issue. Crystal Antlers and I went over to the pumpkin patch on PCH and got this shot of them jumping on the bouncy castle. This was harder than it looks and I only got 2 decent shots. You can't get much 'air' on those things! I got on and jumped as well while trying to take some shots. It was super funny and I think my camera hit me in the head a few times. view my website for more crystal antlers photos

I also shot portraits of Paper Planes, Reid, Diane Ripley and Liza of Phantom Gallery.

a polaroid project

2009-09-06T19:55:00.000-07:00

"The last Polaroid films expire next month. The Observer gave eight of today's leading photographers a Polaroid camera for a day and asked them to capture their final instant images."- guardian.co.uk
Here's a link to the photographs: http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/gallery/2009/sep/06/photography-art

Rankin

I'm leaving for London on Wednesday and I just finished backing one of my bags that I'll bring. I had to bring my polaroid cameras and the last 5 packs of polaroid from my fridge. I want to document my trip for the first few days using polaroid. Probably will shoot digital as well. This is a big change for me as well as a big loss for photographers who love shooting with the instant film and pleasure of polaroid. The packs I will shoot with are expired so I'm hoping for some neat color shifts.
