Sunless Studio Sells Sea Shells By The Sea Shore

I did this shoot for Sunless Studio back in late May. Sunless Studio is an up and coming sunless tanning salon in Beverly Hills. They came to me and wanted an AD that was different than anything out there for Sunless tanning. They wanted it to be like my style but very memorable. Their slogan that goes along with the image is "Practice Safe Sun." I came up with a concept for the shoot that could be recreated in other shoots for other ADs. I am extremely proud of this image and would consider it top 3 favorite images I have ever done. Everyone at Sunless Studios loved it as well. They were extremely fun to work with and I can't wait for the next shoot!

A-Salted Sea

Few weekends ago, Jesse Carmody and I went on an awesome trip to the Salton Sea. It was such a fun trip. We camped by the sea, played Weezer while roasting marshmallows and were amazed to be the only people in the entire camp site. It was almost straight out of a horror film. hahaha. We took this trip to break the norm of what we have been feeling. With this in mind, there were no digital cameras, no strobes....just film 35. Shooting film again made me think of how it used to be. How much simpler life is with out technology. I am so thankful that we could take on this adventure. It is so far one of my favorite moments of 2009.

The images below are horriable scans (seeing that I am not going to school anymore, I do not have access to a film scaner) but they are the raw images of what was shot. I used Provia 400 cross processed. I also set my ISO to 250 and from there over exposed 2/3rds of a stop. In processing, I pulled it 2/3rds of a stop. I just wanted to see what I would get. Such a different cross process look....for sure.....

Double Dutch

I did a shoot with Marcus a little while ago in Downtown LA. Wanted to try a slightly different look in post. We will see........

It was a great shoot. Marcus is a awesome guy and Kaycee Krieg was a wonderful stylist. Cheers!
