New Kids Fashion Story for Small Magazine

{all images © Nick Prendergast}

The new issue of Small Magazine is finally out, and I'm very proud to have photographed the cover and the corresponding fashion story 'Exagerer' inside. We shot this spread in late July, when the average temperature was 104 degrees. My many thanks to the kids and their families for being such troopers, and to my stylist and brilliant collaborator Aften Owens. This concept was all hers, and I feel extremely lucky she chose to shoot it with me.

Tear Sheet: Dallas Child

I shot this portrait for an interesting article in the current issue of Dallas Child about colored lenses that help kids who suffer from dyslexia. I had never heard of this technology, which builds colored haploscopic filters (meaning they are individually prescribed for each eye) into lenses for corrective glasses. It's really cool getting an assignment to shoot something that's changing people's lives. My many thanks to Dallas Child Magazine!

Waiting Room

"I don't sit idly by... I'm planning a big surprise.

I'm gonna fight for what I want to be.

And I won't make the same mistakes

Because I know how much time that wastes,

And function? Function is the key."

- Fugazi

Poros, Greece

This evening, my lady and I are getting together with the friends we travelled to Europe with last summer to look through our photos and reminisce. I stumbled upon this shot from Poros, Greece while I was prepping some files, surprised I never really noticed it before. Poros is a beautiful and sleepy island with views so gorgeous you feel like you're walking through a postcard. It was, without a doubt, one of the most enjoyable surprises along what was already an incredible trip.

Peters Bros Hats

It's been a busy month, and I haven't been posting here as much as I would have liked. I've been shooting a personal series about artists and craftsmen in their workspaces, and I thought I would post some outtakes from one here. Peters Bros Hats has been operating in downtown Fort Worth, TX since 1933. I'll include more of their story when I post the full gallery.

Thanks for checking in...

My First Magazine Cover: Thrive!

My cover for Thrive Magazine is finally out, and I'm very happy with how it turned out. It's another one of those hallmarks in a photographer's career that let you know (or help you believe, anyway) that you're on the right track. My many thanks to the wonderful folks over at Lauren Publications for the work!

Outtakes: Mohawk

These are a couple of outtakes of Ayden, a super cool kid we're using for our upcoming fashion story for Small Magazine. I just loved his expressions (and his rad mohawk) so much I wanted to share them here.
