From the Archive - Artist David Hockney

David Hockney is probably my favorite contemporary artist. I love his use of color. In 2006, Hockney had a show "David Hockney Portraits" at LACMA. Here are a few shots from his opening, including Peter Goulds standing next to the painting, "Peter Goulds Standing"(2005). Isn't that a great title? It makes it so easy for captioning.

Here's a link to Mark Savage's photos of Hockney with Corbis Images.

Romantic Wedding Photograph of a Bride and Groom in a Park.

I really like this romantic wedding photo I took a few years. This photo was actually part of a series of engagement pictures I took in Los Angeles of the couple prior to their wedding day.

If I remember correctly, this wasn't her actual wedding dress. I know a lot of women who are looking at this photo are thinking, "Oh no... she's lying in the grass in her wedding dress. What is she thinking??" I'm pretty sure it was an inexpensive "second-hand" dress she picked up just for this photo session.

Executive Staff Headshots at Sunset Urgent Care Medical Center

I recently had an on-location studio portrait session of several fine doctors at Sunset Urgent Care Medical Center in West Hollywood. I first met Dr. Isidore K.B. Kwaw, MD through my client, Practice Builders, when I photographed him for his original website in 2006. Since then, his medical practice has grown so he called me back to photograph his staff.

And here's a promo from the session...

An Executive Headshot in Orange County With a Great View

Attorney Andrew Slade, Crowell & Moring

As their office sits on top of the 20th floor in a building near the John Wayne Airport, the law firm Crowell & Moring has a great view of Orange County. And although I've been taking their executive portraits for several years now, I always forget to take a photo or two of the scenery from the top. Today, I finally remembered...

A side note for the photographers who read this blog... I balance the indoor lighting with the outdoor- 1/60th, f/11, 200 iso, using two Dynalite heads powered at 250 each minus 1/3 -2/3 power depending on the distance of the subject.

Eliza Dushku and American Idol's David Cook at Kitsin

Last night, I was at the Griddle Cafe's Red Velvet Pancake Mix Launch hosted by Eliza Dushku and expert chef and founder, Jodi, at Kitson in West Hollywood. 


I didn't expect to see David Cook. The last time I saw him was at American Idol's finale a couple years ago. Here's the link for the latest news on David Cook. 


As for Dushku, she joins Anna Ferris and Sigourney Weaver on the Ghostbusters 3(2012) "rumored" list. IMDB says the screenplay is still in the works. How can there possibly be a Ghostbusters sequel without Sigourney Weaver??
