Studio Images

A collection of images from various studio shoots.

Shenzhen

A city in Southern China that I have had the privilege to visit a number of times in 2018 and 2019. Perhaps the fastest growing city on the planet, Shenzhen has grown in the last 40 years from a small city of 30,000 to a sprawling mega city of well over 12 million. If you are curious about the future of China and the future of mankind, some clues are available here.

While shooting the narrative short film “Carry My Heart to the Yellow River” we spent almost two weeks in the Tibetan Autonomous Region of Gannan, China. I was able to snap a few photos along the way.

I like to keep a camera loaded with 35mm film at all times… sometimes I find a use for it.

California

An album dedicated to my love of the Golden State.

Standing Rock

In September of 2016 I travelled to Canon Ball ND with my friend and colleague, Bill Prouty. We camped out for a couple of nights with the protesters there. Mostly we just listened to stories and tried to wrap our heads around the moment and what had compelled people (some from other countries) to travel here. It was a transformative moment in my life for sure.
