Kenzy
From a one-off shoot with a local novice model in 2017.
August Update
Hello Patrons! I've just completed my first week of a 9 week high school teaching gig. I haven't taught high school since 2009 (though I have taught many, many other kinds of art centers and recreation programs and online courses since then), so the hard part for me involved managing 30 stud...
Lux Diver #3
Lux Lacheln pre-pool shoot, for a jewelry maker friend.
Lux Diver #2
more distorted art nudes in a backyard pool w Lux Lacheln
Lux Diver #1
August, hot as hell around Phoenix. The only choice is to shoot in and around water. One of my favorite shoots with Lux Lacheln.

Ariel + The Animals
Ariel Collins is a musician and model I met in 2010. We shot together twice in Seattle when I was really pursuing a fashion photographer aesthetic. To that point, I was shooting with designers, and those designers had dogs and... well, the explainer video is over here! Ariel moved away to England an...
Body Paint #2
One more from a 2014 shoot with my friend body painter Jamie Graden
Body Paint Love
from a 2014 collaboration with my body painter friend Jamie Graden
Devi
From a shoot in a Portland Air BnB where the only good spot to shoot was the closet!
Tougher Than The Rest
My daughter Maggie had her 10th birthday last weekend! I thought she'd outgrown toys but she actually is just into all these tactile kids things that are so popular now- slime, squishy things, these clothing items with reversible sequins.
Botgirl
A double exposure art nude + the kickass mannequins lurking around my former studio!
Subconscious featuring Annika White
"Subconscious" in remixed form is featured on the album Primordial Creative - Spotify link here! Featuring Annika White, hair by Andy Tseng, shot May 2018 in NYC
Diana F for Fashion Nudes (18+)
Let me share some stuff created using a Diana F- a plastic camera that has all kinds of chaotic problems (which is why people buy them). The models are Percolate in Phoenix and Olivia C. in Portland. Explainer video here!
Primordial Creative the album
Hello friends! Here's a Spotify link to the entire album released earlier this month!For those at the $10+ patron level, a video for "Subconsciousness" will drop tomorrow featuring Annika White!Let me know what you think and have a great weekend!
McKenzie shook up
Shot post-shoot at a cafe w McKenzie Eckels where I thought I may as well burn off some more instax!
Genevieve mush
This was done in my backyard with a Portland/ Phoenix/ LA model named Genevieve Liberte (maybe I misspelled that). One of those people I shoot with who I can't really get a read of, even though we met ahead of time and discussed the shoot, so I couldn't figure out if the shoot was going in t...
Katie double x-d
Double exposure with Kate Eff from last December!
Sky mutant crucifix
An instax collage with Sky in June 2018 at Playa del Rey. Sky did a bunch of shoots that week and subsequently had all her stuff stolen so as much fun as we have shooting I feel a weird horrible feeling looking at the work now.
Sunset Ana
Ana Corbí from last June's LA shoots. Sunset at the beach = guaranteed success.
Meet The X-Men!
A short animation I made, essentially as a training exercise for a variety of digital tools, but man was it fun.
Sierra McKenzie - Mixing It Up
Sierra was someone I shot with a lot in the span of 2010-2015 but haven't posted much of here. In going through stuff I decided, rather than a set of one shoot, I'd compile the work we did that involved mixed media and graphic design. Some of the work involved alteration of a physical print,...
July 2018 playlist
I'm a recent Spotify convert and thought it would be fun to share a monthly playlist of what's in heavy rotation in the studio! Who knew Jane's Addiction had a great 2012 album or Stars released new stuff in 2017? Not me until now! You can play it above or by clicking here!
McKenzie at Playa del Rey
McKenzie Eckels from June's round of beach model shoots. I loved this beach for its easy free parking and general lack of people.
Ana Corbí Santa Monica
More from my June shoot with Ana at Santa Monica beach!
Lizzie
shot with model Lizzie Gunst circa 2015 in my first (failed) attempt to work with SF models. One usable photo out of the whole ordeal!
Erika - Every Breaking Wave (18+)
Erika De Leija was someone recommended to me by Mark Velasquez, and apparently I was mutually recommended to Erika by Mark! We shot out in the ocean at Playa del Rey and I filmed Erika and her man Alec for the explainer video. Enjoy!
The Journey to Green Sand Beach 5
The 3 mile hike back to the car was nowhere near as treacherous as the way there, because we stuck to a road and avoided the volcanic coastline. I played Phil Ochs music the whole way and at the parking lot so many people would come up to us and ask if it was worth a 6 mile roundtrip hike to the bea...
The Journey to Green Sand Beach 4
...this green sand which is a result of volcanic crystals. It actually looked more like gold dust to me.

Friends, Romans, patrons... I've attached 11 pages of instax that are currently available for my "Pick 5 for $41" sale. US shipping included of course! Anyone you don't see here, let me know and I'll let you know what I currently have!
