I have great admiration for Tattooers. They are some of my best friends, my peers , my artist family. I have been honored to create with them over the years. A place I’ve always felt more at home is in a tattoo shop and it’s always special to get called by them to do something creative. @thomasmoser_pct and @portcitytattooca @tim_mcportcity @portcitytattoosantaana 🙏🏻 Brothers ! thank you for letting me work along side you to make these! Directed , shot, edited, sounds by yours truly besides epic drone shots from @ryan.mcalary Fun exercise to go solo once in awhile.

@reverendbaron tonight at @wayfarercm 7pm

Metallica x Blackened Whiskey #BURGER #metalburgerbox 2024 For @dannywimmerpresents Chef : @santoscooks Producers: Elizabeth Harsh & @stever13

Really excited to present another show with my buddy @reverendbaron in my old stomping ground, Costa Mesa, in a couple of weeks. In 2012 or 13 Danny would come with @mattcosta and do surprise sets at our nights. It was always something special and I feel very lucky to witness this band from its beginings to see what beauty this man, this sound and these tunes have found over the last decade. He will be accompanied by the sights and sounds of @duff.thompson and one of our faves @lskoda . @thekingsinn , has been a passion project of mine for almost 15 years. Albeit it’s been asleep since the pandemic, it was always a way for me to work with artists who’s sound moves me.. a creative outlet , stills, flyers, videos and all possibilities that working one on one with a band could arise. I’m really looking forward to April 2nd and a return to a building that has been there most of my adult life, countless nights and hugs…performances and culture growth… @wayfarercm I hope to see some familiar faces.

I love this woman so much. I didn’t know if that was in the cards for me , I had basically given up and right then this little bunny hopped into my life and hasn’t left my side since. She’s smart, so sweet, so caring and so talented , not to mention beautiful and my favorite person to do everything with. She has my back like I’ve never experienced before and I fucking adore her more than she’ll ever know. She makes me feel like the luckiest guy in the world and I think she would do pretty much anything for me (except eat a pickle or an olive). We just celebrated our first year together last month , but this post is to celebrate her birthday today . ❤️ I love you @madisonora_ … to many more 😘

@guyfieri is the f#*king man. No matter what asumptions you might come to from his blinged out, bleached hair, GOAT-tee television persona, Guy is the real deal. A genuine heart of gold man with a passion for food and the drive to peruse his dreams. A philanthropist and all around badass. He came onto set one day blasting @rageagainstthemachine talking about how he and his son @hunterfieri traveled to see them play and were so blown away they traveled to the next show in another state to see them again. Me being my usual humble self 😏 of course, I had to mention that myself and @z_d_l_r played both for this band Farside . ( it might be my biggest claim to fame 😃 ) He told me about how he lived in Huntington Beach when they blew up in the 90’s . I told him he had to Check out Inside Out (ZDLR’s Hardcore Band/my favorite hardcore band /GOAT.) I mentioned this to Jordan at @revelationrecords and he gifted a box of Inside Out 7” ‘s , IO Hoodies , RATM vinyl for him and his son. —— Kevin Smith has been an inspiration to me before I realized I even needed inspiration. I can’t tell you how many times my friends and I watched Mallrats on repeat in our late teens. I saw his movie Clerks in the theatre because this local band Supernova had a song in the soundtrack. “Chewbacca , what a Wookie” was the chorus . When I met him I shared some of this but mostly just said “I Have a Supernova tattoo” which he weirdly laughed and probably had no idea what I was talking about. #snoochieboochies —- This was a day I won’t forget. I really owe it to Guy for making this a reality. —- On set of Guy’s Ultimate Game Night , 2022, Food Network/ Warner Bros. Discovery

In 2009 my friend @jillianczahor asked me if I could participate and volunteer my photography services for the @dsaoc Red Carpet Ball. It’s a yearly formal dance/prom type event for our friends with Down Syndrome. At the time I was completely unaware of what having an extra chromosome really meant. What I witnessed really changed my outlook on so many things. I have volunteered my photography services every year since. This event is so special to me and it has been non existent since 2020 when the pandemic began. Tomorrow night will bring its return and I’m so thankful I will once again be surrounded by my special friends. Witnessing their joy and their love. Some of the purest souls on this planet dressing up, celebrating and tearing up the dance floor. I could use a few volunteers to help assist me with this. If you’re interested in photography or you’re just interested in being of service , please text or DM me. We will be meeting at the location in Anaheim at 2:30pm. This years theme is Cinco De Mayo. I can promise you it will be a night you will never forget. Attached are some looks at the photo booths we have created over the last 14 years. I will also put some of the images in the stories. This year with the help of @dreamclubunited and my good pal @albertandhisdreamboats we raised nearly $1k to help this event take place. If you can’t volunteer tmrw you can guarantee that there will be other opportunities to be of service with the Dream Club. So check them out! Also huge shoutout to Mark from @protog_rentals in Costa Mesa who has been supplying our lighting and assistance for appox the last 6 or 7 years! Feel free to tag or share! 💫✨

I haven’t posted on here in months and just wanted to check in . I shot stills for 12 TV shows that came out in 2022. That was pretty amazing to be a part of . Finally arriving into a career I’ve spent 20 years pursuing. Because of that work I was accepted into the I.A.T.S.E. International Cinematographers Guild - Local 600 as a Unit Stills Photographer! Joining the union really opens the door to the final few steps in taking my career to the point I’ve always dreamed of , working for major motion pictures . Still lots of work to be done to get there, but I truly feel as if I’m standing at the doorstep. The @icglocal600 has provided me a mentor to help me achieve these goals and I cannot be more thankful. They have even given me a direct line to some of my favorite unit stills photographers in the world, the best of the best, and they have all treated this rookie like he’s part of the team. Anyways I updated my Website finally. (Link in bio) The most I’ve updated in 7 years and here’s a pic I took of the lovely @kimkardashian holding a cotton candy unicorn (from @polarplayground ) in her home in Hidden Hills for @foodnetwork / Warner Bros. Discovery. Today I’m just feeling grateful to everyone that’s ever supported me, even everyone that’s ever hated on me, you both have kept me motivated and I want to stand as proof that if you stick to your dreams, you can achieve them. There is a reason for your passion and you must overcome everything that stands in your way.

Shooting unit stills for television is all about speed. You get a few seconds to capture some key images in between takes, usually with a immense amount of pressure from a over stressed AD breathing down your neck or the cast of the show getting hair , makeup, wardrobe corrections, notes from the director or checking their email, texts or Instagram. Litterally seconds and you have to be ready and you have to take what you can get. For that reason, I really think that the quality of work I’ve put forth over the last few years, as I’ve earned my place on set, has really been lacking something so import in a photographer’s work, himself… Myself. My perspective, my influence. My coaching , my direction. My lighting. Something that was so heavy in my work for the first 16 years. There was simply just not enough time to cover my shot list and somehow make these images my own … while learning the ropes. This show, It’s Compliplated on @foodnetwork was the first time I really felt I gained some of that back. All thanks to one very special person @iamtabithabrown . Coming from a different style of growth, self made, Tabitha was so kind and approachable. Always greeting me with a hello, a warming smile and a compliment and was so willing to take a second and let me try some ideas, all over the set , over the 6 day shoot. Soon those few seconds started to feel like minutes. A fluidity and flow that I wish every show had, bloomed. Here is some of the evidence . Also I can’t thank @maneetchauhan enough , a friend I’ve done 4 or 5 shows with now, because she really makes you feel at home and really helped set the tone. 🙏🏼 #ItsCompliPlated, hosted by best-selling author and social media superstar @iamtabithabrown is the first plant-based show EVER to air on @foodnetwork , premiering there and streaming on @discoveryplus Tuesdays at 1PM. Produced by @worldofwonder . For Warner Bros Discovery @wbd Directed by @annamminc
