Here are some shots of another roommate of mine named John Campell and my girlfriend Elizabeth. Another roommate of mine, Corrine is partially pictured as well. We were hanging out and I realized how sweet his yellow/orange wall is in his room so we needed to take some pictures. John is a [...]

Here are some shots of a few of my friends (from left to right) Luda, Chrisp and Travis. These were shot while we were hanging out at the studio. These kids just looked too hipster to pass up shooting them. We had some fun. Try to excuse Chrisp’s pubic hair.
Shooting Notes: [...]

Christia is a repeat client of mine who is an entrepreneur. We shot these images for her to use as self promotion.
Shooting Notes: Christia is a fun person to be around and loves to smile. However she is picky about her hair. We had to take special care to [...]

As you may have noticed, I moved to a new live/work studio space. I really love it. My rent is lower and my roommates are awesome. It needs some fixing up bit it’ll be great in no time. Above you see some shots of Troy Pryor and Jason Cates after [...]

These are the WSOB girls from the southside of Chicago. They stay on business and flex.

I’ve been fortunate enough to work with the labels Jordan Craig and D-Lux for almost a year now. The people there are great to work with. Brian, the art director is very flexible and gives me a lot of room to express my own creativity. The first image above is the cover [...]

The designer with which we’d been working to create something specifically tailored for Natallia needed to leave to go back to Argentina. This really set things back. This test shoot was a collaboration between [...]

I recently had the pleasure of working with Sean Sea again and shooting the brand new INRI Cloth Spring 2009 line. INRI Cloth hails from Los Angeles and San Diego, CA. The designs are very unique and eye catching, I think. Most of the t-shirts are tie-dyed and have large, pseudo all-over print [...]

Here is a design I made for a t-shirt for the metal band God Forbid.  Below is the image used to create this design.  Thanks to the model, Lindsey Wagner and hair stylist, Goha.

The Chicago based band Victorian Halls recently had an interview in the Local Focus spot in Chicago Tribune’s Tabloid called the Red Eye. The interview featured an image I shot of the band. I’d like to make a disclaimer that some of the photoshopping was done by a member of the band. [...]
