Cast members of Netflix’s hit show “Love is Blind" enjoy Cupcake Vineyards

Recent Work: Love is Wine Photoshoot - Cupcake Vineyards x Netflix's "Love is Blind" | Los Angeles, CA

August 05, 2024 in lifestyle photography, Los Angeles

What a whirlwind 2 days! I can honestly say this project was one of the best experiences of my career. Agency Mekanism reached out with a once in a lifetime opportunity to shoot a brand partnership between Cupcake Vineyards and the smash Netflix TV show “Love is Blind”. I’ve always loved shooting lifestyle campaigns but when a celebrity decides to lend their name to a wine brand, the stakes are high. The partnership promises not just a product, but an experience wrapped in allure and star power. I packed up the gear and headed of the TV studio in Los Angeles.

The shoot started with palpable excitement and anticipation. Our goal was to craft a visual narrative that seamlessly merged the show’s visual style with the sophistication of the wine. The concept was to create images that felt both aspirational and accessible, capturing the essence of a luxurious lifestyle that the wine represents.

Every shot needed to exemplify both the celebrity’s charisma and the wine’s luxurious appeal. The result is a series of images that not only highlights the product but also tells a compelling story of attraction, elegance, and enjoyment.

The shoot was a resounding success, yielding a collection of stunning visuals that will undoubtedly elevate the brand’s image. Thank you to the team at Mekanism and Netflix or their incredible work. Please check out the gallery below.

Fitness Test Shoot with model Haley | Santa Barbara, CA

May 14, 2024 in lifestyle photography, santa barbara

I love shooting tests for models. Recently, model Haley reached out for a fitness test shoot. Test shoots, no matter the genre such as fitness, lifestyle, portrait, beauty, product or food require extensive preparation. Pre-production involves selecting the right location, planning the poses and outfits, and ensuring proper lighting and equipment. Being a fitness test, we focused on capturing Haley’s strength and athleticism, as well as highlighting her dedication to fitness. Check out the gallery below!

Happy girl eating a burger at NORMS in Los Angeles, CA

Lifestyle photography for NORMS Restaurants - Los Angeles, CA

February 08, 2024 in lifestyle photography, Los Angeles

2024 marks the 75th Anniversary of NORMS restaurant. This beloved SoCal diner has been serving up classics like Steak and Eggs, the Bigger Better Breakfast, Milkshakes, French Toast, and perhaps their most famous, Hotcakes, with an original recipe that dates back to 1949.

I was so excited when producer Joe Russell reached out with a lifestyle shoot for this legendary Los Angeles chain of restaurants! NORMS was looking to attract a new/younger generation of patrons. I shot stills alongside a film crew producing 3 TV spots. Time is always of the essence but tandem shoots like this present unique since talent and sets are being shared with slightly different objectives in mind! Please check out the gallery below to see the results!

Work for TREEZ.IO shot at Wonderbrett in Los Angeles, CA

Lifestyle photography for TREEZ.IO - Los Angeles, CA

November 21, 2023 in lifestyle photography, Los Angeles, product photography, santa barbara

TREEZ.IO is a technology company specializing in point-of-sale, inventory and retail analytics for the cannabis industry. In collaboration with marketing agency Oniracom I was tasked with producing a small library of lifestyle photography assets featuring retail workers using various TREEZ solutions in the wild. We shot at two dispensary locations; one in Los Angeles, CA and one in Sebastopol, CA. Coordinating shooting times to have the least interference with customers and business operations was a challenge. We had a small 3 person crew and worked quickly through our shot lists while being mindful of the impact on other workers and customers. TREEZ was blown away with the results which you can check out below.
