The Blog: Real Raw Moments

  1. Stock Photo Update

    2017-10-27 19:43:54 UTC
    The best part about working with Flashstock/Shutterstock is the clients I’m able to work with. I had the pleasure of working with CHI, Six.02, Esquire and Revlon recently. The tough part is constantly finding models because CHI is selling hair products as is Revlon, so you can’t really have the…

    Finally reunited with Gabe! I can’t believe it took us 3 years! He’s lived in LA for a while now, but it’s nothing like when he lived in south beach. I was at his apartment every single day. We always hung out, but now in California I’ve seen him ONCE!…

    2017-06-11 01:52:56 UTC
    Who was more surprised than me to find out Paul Knops was in New York at the same time?! I was so stoked when we realized we were both in the city. We spent more time hanging out than shooting, but of course we had to squeeze a shoot in.…

    2017-06-06 22:01:53 UTC
    I always search for cute coffeeshops while I’m traveling and Heritage Outpost always popped up, so I made sure to swing by while I was in town. It wasn’t crowded at all, so Jakub and I shot a few images inside and a bunch outside. He’s a really killer model…

    2017-05-23 16:10:16 UTC
    I always love taking headshots! My headshot section is actually hidden on my site though because that’s not the primary photography I do.
