The Unibrow, The Eighties, And Some Serious Ups...

Well after two weeks of shooting and post processing, the next few days in the studio come at the perfect time. I'll be taking advantage of the first part of this week to catch my breath before a stretch of shooting that could include a trip to LA, a week in North Carolina, and then a quick trip to the big apple.

Here are a few out takes from the past weeks shoots from Huggies and Sanuk. Jeff from Sanuk handed over a box of Donavon Frankenreiter mustaches (why there is such a product is beyond me, but..) and since I already have pretty full complement of facial hair myself, I just had to try out a pretty sweet unibrow. How could one resist getting a shot like this to enhance a facebook profile?

In that vein, as we got fully into the period with Billy Idol blasting through the studio (thanks to William Watt's 80's ipod) there was a chance to re-live one moment of a true 80's classic, the Karate Kid, so I broke out "the Crane Kick."

As if that was not enough I got a chance to do a little hopping during our shoot for Huggies. That one will make a bit more sense when that ad comes out, but who said I can't jump?

Night Beach Volleyball

We played around in the sand last night with a few AVP tour players Mike Morrison, and Matt Olson. We first shot Mike a few years ago so it was fun catching up and working with him again. A lot of people want to know what our images look like right out of the camera. We processed the raw files from the phase one p45+ with lightroom adding contrast then exported them out as jpgs. That is about as raw as it gets in todays digital world. There are a few gems from the shoot and it was great to just romp in the sand with a couple of amazing athletes.

The Yetti

We just returned from a two week adventure with the Navy. We shot all kinds of big machines and the people that operated them. I could not resist to share this image of scale. I am larger than normal humans and of a special tribe. This image can help you understand why some refer to me as "The Yetti." Cool images from the Navy shoot coming soon to a web banner and print ad near you.
