A New Direction

Gymnast Clayton is geared for big things

I met Clayton about a year ago. Since then we have done three shoots in Massachusetts and Florida. This guy is ready to make something big of himself. A gymnast, he runs a gym in Florida but he has taken up aerial silks and along with his partner LJ, he is poised to take on the world. Word has it that he might be considering some opportunities out in Hollywood. Keep your eye out for this guy.

Drew makes waves in modeling

Drew has been a hidden gem in Florida's gymnasiums. An aerial acrobat, he was found recently hanging around a photo shoot in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. When approached, he was eager to test the waters of modeling and had two shoots that weekend, both in Key West. The 6'2" handsome guy is a natural in front of the camera whether on land, in the water or in the air.

Boston Fashion Week - Emerging Trends 2009

Boston's Park Plaza Hotel - Castle was the scene of a fantastic evening of fashion as a culmination to a week of Boston's Fashion Week. Designers from Boston, NY, Minneapolis, Los Angeles and London all got to show their creations on the runway in front of a crowd of about 700 people. There was a lot of creative designs from formal evening wear to summer club wear. Here are some of the photos I took that evening.

2008 US Olympic Diving Trials

Indianapolis Natatorium was the scene for putting together the US Olympic diving team for the Beijing Olympics. Divers from all over the country with hopes of representing their country in China came to test their skills against their countrymen...only a few made it. For me is was quite a shoot in that I got to work alongside the photographers from Sports Illustrated and USA Today as well as photographing some of the most incredible athletes in the nation. Here is a sampling of many of the shots I took during that week in July 2008.

Brandon

Brandon flew in from Indiana for a two day shoot with me. We had been talking about it for over a year and he finally took the plunge. Reserved, he is a really nice guy if a bit on the quiet side. We immediately hit the studio and got comfortable with each other and began to turn out some kick ass images. From there we went to the ocean in New Hampshire. But as we approached the fog settled in on the coast. This turned out to be a fortuitous situation as everyone left the beach...leaving it desolate. Brandon seemed to feel very much at home here. I would ask him to go back in the water and he willingly did it with a smile. Again some great images came from this stop. We then headed to dinner and home. The next day we were off to the waterfalls in the area after taking some reflective photos around the property. When we got to the second waterfall, one that I have used for the last four years...it was gone. The dam creating it was emptied. That forced us to look around more and just below the old falls was a huge cascade of water...you can see it in some of Brandon's photos here. After our second falls it was a quick lunch and off to the airport for his trip home and promises to work together again.

Billy Noble

Billy and I met through our mutual facebook friend Denis Dwan in Australia. Billy it turned out was doing summer theater here in New Hampshire and was interested in getting started in modeling. So we connected recently for a few hours of shooting. We were able to get the use of a farm in Moultonborough, NH and the theater in Lake Region High School in Meredeth, NH for our locations. Billy and I hit it off well immediately and had a lot of fun creating his image. Let me know if you are interested in working with Billy, he is game for most anything.

Billy is a recent University of Oklahoma graduate in musical theater and is looking to make his mark in major productions across the country.
