Ritz Carlton Club for Macau Inc.

During my time here in China I have been shooting some editorial work for Macau Inc., on a variety of assignments. This shoot of the Ritz Carlton Club had a very long shot list that needed to be accomplished in one day with a large variety of subject matter including food, interiors,product and portraits. As is often the case many of the images shot for the story don’t make it into the final layout due to space constraints or editorial […]

Portraits in the LBC

This is one of those projects that I meant to turn into a larger body of work but in all likelihood will have to live as it is or serve as a jumping off point for a different series.

Chameleon shoot for a friend

A very good friend of mine Shawn Greenwood raises Chameleons in the Los Angeles area and asked me to make some photographs of his older Chameleon and a younger group that had hatched from a clutch several months earlier. I’m always interested in taking on a side project for a good friend. I find it’s a nice way to broaden what I shoot and often offers challenges that I wouldn’t normally encounter. Chameleon wrangling is going on my linkedIn skills […]
