Portrait of an Artist – Katie Kelly

December 20, 2009 – 11:55 am

I recently had the privilege of doing some portraits of an up and coming artist by the name of Katie Kelly.  Katie was recently signed on with Disney Fine Art by Collector’s Editions to create some incredible interpretations of Disney characters and stories.  Her work is very unique and has such a great feel to it.  It was a great experience for me to photograph her as well. Here are a few of my favorites from the session…

And here is a small sampling of some of her work.  As you can see her work is amazing!  I fell in love with it the moment I saw it.  If you are interested in Katie’s paintings, she will be featured on the Disney Fine Art by Collector’s Editions website in the near future.

Metal Mickey

September 20, 2009 – 12:27 pm

The other day I dropped by Noah’s studio to take a couple of promo shots of him putting the finishing touches on a painting that he was working on for Arturo Fuente’s annual God of Fire fundraiser.

And while I was there, I picked up something for my son too.  It’s Metal Mickey!  He was so stoked when he saw it.  It’s a limited edition collector’s Vinylmation piece that Noah custom designed for Disney.

Disney has come a long way now that Mickey is sporting some ink.  At least he’s still sticking with the white gloves and pants pulled up to his arm pits!

Thanks again brother!

Give Your Sole

May 22, 2009 – 11:17 am

I must say, I have been a very bad blogger as of late.  But that’s what happens when you get really busy and you get out of the “sit in front of the computer” mode.  But since my last post, quite a bit has gone on and I’ve done a lot of shoots, so I’ve got some catching up to do.  So the first post I wanted to get up was for a great cause a friend of mine is spear heading.  The name of the organization is Give Your Sole and it focuses on collecting used running shoes at races to give to the needy.  Most runners change shoes about every 4-6 months so they’ve got a lot of mileage left in them.   They are currently working on their website so I met up with founder Brett Byrd at the Orange County Marathon to get some photos for the site and for their blog.

The goal was to get some stock type shots of the event, but without getting clear shots of faces for obvious reasons.  So I did a lot of stuff like this one above where you still get the feeling for the mass of humanity at these events without focusing on any individual.

I got a lot of shots of people’s feet

If you are planning on attending the San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon on May 31, make sure you keep your eyes open for the Give Your Sole booth.  They will be there at the expo and the race.  Bring some old shoes and drop them off before or you can donate your shoes at the end of the race and they’ll give you a nice pair of Give Your Sole flip flops and a coupon for $10 off your new pair of shoes at Road Runner Sports!

New Urban Bark

October 25, 2008 – 1:20 pm

Yesterday I shot some of Urban Bark’s new wedding line.  It is all very cool looking and definitely worth checking out.  If you go to their site you can see a list of stores that are carrying their cards in the area.  Here is a quick sample of some of the stuff that I did.  And by the way, I am available for all kinds of commercial photography.  I mostly shoot families and wedding stuff, but I love doing this type of work as well!  So if you’re in need, give me a call!

While we were shooting, Corrie’s son Gavin was hanging out with us and he was getting ready for a bike ride with dad.  So I had to snap a couple of quick shots of him with his helmet and shades.  What a little stud!
