Golden hour at the Golden Gate.

Image of Christy Riley looking out into the San Francisco Bay on a beautiful winter day.  The small sailboats look like kids bath toys sailing under the Golden Gate bridge in the distance.  Golden hour at Golden Gate bridge is always a good idea.  :)

Outtake of Ashley Graves in standing barefoot in Joshua Tree National Park during a recent shoot

Thanks to Jordan Halland from Payola Films for having me along to DP this fun and eclectic video.

Lots of new work in 2014.  Clients such as Subaru, Apple, Target, TOMS Shoes, Shots Magazine, Shabby Apple, The Mens Wearhouse & Beach Park Brazil.  Loving all the travel and great people I'm getting to work with.  For the Shabby Apple fashion shoot we flew to Puerto Rico and worked with the amazing talented Make-up Artist Christie Lee from New York City.  For Beach Park Brazil I spent four days with my assistants running around one of Brazil's largest water parks and vacation destinations in Fortaleza, Brazil.  We shot the water parks summer 30 second TV spot with a Phantom camera shooting up to 1000 and 2000 frames per second to get amazing slow motion action shots!  This was my first time filming with a Phantom and I learned a lot, mostly how difficult and cumbersome the Phantom camera is.  I also shot stills for the website and print campaigns for Beach Park as you can see in this image of the family "SELFIE" shot.  Shooting for Subaru was such a treat and I got to work with an amazing crew and one of my best friends Mike Jones.  We had an amazing time in Moab, UT filming with my Drone, a DJI Phantom 2 and getting crazy close to steep edges of cliffs with a new Subaru Crosstrek.  Did some firsts on this trip which was try to high-line with some of the best slack liners in the world and did an amazing rope swing in a harness off a arch in Moab.  Long days, lots of travel and retouching in my immediate future.  I'm pretty happy with that for now.

Recent shoot in Brazil.  A local beauty soaking in the sun.

ICHAIR - BY JASON ROQUE

Shooting in LUX Studios last week. 
Thanks Jason for the sturdy legs and bony knees.
By the way Jason is a great portrait photographer check his
work out here.  He loves grain.  I'm getting back into the grain scene aka "film".
Shot a couple rolls of Tmax 3200 yesterday, guaranteed grain.  Just forget where to
drop this stuff off now to develop it since I don't really have a darkroom any more. 

TIME FOR A PATRIOTIC PHOTO!

Congratulations President Obama and the fine men and women serving in our armed forces.
Extra credit to those sneaky Navy Seals, I always wanted to be a navy seal and just love hearing about them randomly popping up on the radar after doing some gnarrly missions... taking down Osama Bin Laden!

SICK YO! IS ALIVE!

I have been following a ton of photography blogs, fashion and style blogs etc. where I grab hundreds
of images and put in a folder on my desktop called RESEARCH.   I love to dig through the files and images to get inspiration and ideas.  Its a great way to remember poses for talent, hair and make-up looks, locations or just an amazing photo that I wished I had taken.  Sooo in an effort to share these inspirations and to keep them alive and not stuck on my laptop I have finally started a simple tumblr page called SICK YO!   These images are Sick Yo!
