Its been a very busy few weeks and I just wanted to post a few new tear sheets to my growing list of clients and images.
The above shot was the Spring issue of Modern Luxury. I sat atop a secret hill top and shot the city at dusk and waited for magic. I had to do this three times as one day was good, the second day was cloudy, and the last day was magic. Its just amazing how much we can’t control when we do outdoor shots. A cloud rolls in and the day is over. These things take time, luck and a little skill. Not much skill, but a little.
I’ve had the chance to photograph the owners from Fighting Eel a few times and this shot happens to be one of my favorites. I’ve not had the easiest time photographing them as they seem at times, slightly uncomfortable with themselves (or maybe it was just me) and I haven’t nailed a great shot of the pair. But this pix seems to really be what I would call the shot. I like it. Thanks Rona and Lan.
Having been dressed by the Hawaii Five O duo for my shining start on the Rick Springfield episode, Five O costume designers Michelle and Anthony, were surprised I put them behind the camera this time. Erika, the handler of all handlers, coordinated a great time, location, and helped set a great image of the two. I think of the shot, along with the Fighting Eel girls as a portfolio piece. Its another great environmental shot. Both shots were for the Spring issue of Modern Luxury.
My last tear sheet is actual an image from the LPGA Lotte Championship Golf tournament held in April at Ko Olina. The winner happened to be Japanese golfer Ai Miyazato. She led the last round and kept steady and focused. She stayed par the entire time but nailed the last few holds to win the four day tourney. Unbeknown to anyone, even her, she started doing a hula with the hula dancers during the award ceremony. She danced really well and surely deserved the dance.
