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. 

Rock N' Roll Memorabilia Auction

I had an unusual opportunity present itself the other day when a fellow photographer referred me to an individual who was auctioning off some pretty extraordinary Rock N' Roll collectibles. The auction house needed some nice photos of the items, and I ended up in a house full of some amazing artifacts of modern musical history. I wanted to share some of the rare guitars from the collection:

Now that the new 'I Am DFW' TV spots I shot back in May are starting to air, I thought I'd share some of the portraits from the series as well. This is a shot of famed chef and restauranteur Stephan Pyles, who is widely credited with pioneering the Southwest Cuisine movement. He was a pleasure to shoot, and an absolute pro. Thanks to Chef Pyles and Creative Agency Mother NY!

New TV Ad Campaign for NBC

These ads I shot with the wonderful agency Mother NY back in May are just starting to air. I haven't been able to find an embed-enabled copy yet, but I thought I'd at least post the link. Click here to see it! Enjoy!
