On photoshoots, what I am looking for is moments of peak experience or flow.  Those moments when an individual is 1000% invested in their activity and nothing, literally nothing has their attention except the task at hand”. That is “Direct Experience”and it is the driving force behind the work that we do.


“Direct Experience” is the reason I love to photograph athletes. Athletes understand total commitment and focus.  The photo shoots that we produce give these athletes both creative freedom and the time opportunity to move into a peak state of flow as we shoot.  It’s spontaneous, nothing is posed and the result are images that are powerful and authentic.


Direct Experience is also a major component of our creative process as a team during our photoshoots.  If you’ve ever been on set with me, you’d know that it’s a bit of a three ring circus.  If we’re doing our jobs right, the team is also working in a state of flow.  It’s not always pretty to watch and it can be pretty chaotic but I’ve found that some of the best ideas come from others on the set.  It never fails that when one of my assistant or stylists yells out hey… look at the light over there the whole team is scrambling over to that location and shooting frantically to capture it.  And that’s where the magic really happens. Because at that moment, the shot list goes right out the window and our team and the talent are working spontaneously to capture a  moment and you know that you’ve got it because no one is saying a word.  Well, except for me maybe because I tend you yell a lot when I know we got it!


We’re launching 2020 with a greater commitment to “direct experience” in our commercial and personal work than ever before.  What that means is pushing our creativity on every shoot. It means stretching the capabilities of our equipment and testing new ideas on every shoot. It means faster lenses, larger capture, drones, video and incredible, cinematic locations both here in the US and Internationally.


Whether you’re with a large, medium or small company or an individual looking to create new, brand specific imagery I hope you’ll come shoot with us. You’ll have a great experience!

Los Angeles Fitness Photographer shoots for CW-X Compression Gear In Colorado – Spring/Summer & Fall/Winter 2019

Once again CW-X Compression Gear gave us the opportunity to shoot both their Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter Campaigns for 2019. Our athletes this time came from Denver and Los Angeles. We had Maggie Ecker who came to us from Wilhelminadenver and Courtney Hope(Actress – The Bold and The Beautiful), Chris Reid and Nick Denbeigh, all from one of my favorite talent agencies to cast from It Model Management in Orange County, CA. Seriously, if you’re looking for great talent and some really great people to work with please call Linda or Marlene at IT. You won’t be disappointed. Hair/Make-up/Men’s grooming provided my immensely talented wife Dawn Randall. We shot at two amazing locations; Project Move Gym in Denver, CO and the always awesome place to shoot, Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater in Morrison. CO.

All of our talent was extraordinary but I have to say the some of the moves, jumps, twists and turns that Courtney pulled out just blew us away. I’d say something lame like ” try something different” and then I couldn’t shoot fast enough. Unfortunately, much of the line hasn’t been release yet so I can’t show a lot of the insane work that our talent did… watch this space for more.

As usual we were in a “run and gun” situation all day long, both days which meant we had to keep equipment to a minimum. I shot with Nikon D750 (to keep the size down) and a AF-S Nikkor 24 – 70mm F2.8G  zoom lens and a AF-S Nikkor 70 – 200mm f2.8G ED VR II exclusively since, once again there was little time to be changing lenses all day.

For lighting at Project Move we used four Profoto B1X 500 Air Monolights along with one Profoto Beauty Dish, A Profoto Medium Soft Box and two Profoto strip lights with grids. My assistants were Drew Bennett and Frankie Spontelli. BOTH of these guys are insanely talented shooters so check our their respective web sites and Instagram Feeds.

At Red Rocks we shot almost exclusively with two Profoto BWX 500 Air’s. One bare bulb and one with a Profoto Beauty Dish. This setup allowed us to work super fast while shooting the action plus the high speed sync and using the heads without modifiers allowed us to compete with the sun and produce some beautiful shots.

Special thanks to Karina Connelly (the brilliant Brand Director at CW-X ) who gives me these amazing opportunities and puts up with my impatience (on occasion). Thank you so much Karina. Also our incredible talent and my awesome assistants for going way up and above what I expected and for making this shoot so incredible and finally to the great folks at Project Move and the folks at Red Rocks who let us take over their venues and play for the day.

As indicated previously this is just a small sample of the images we made over two days. Watch this space for more..


Los Angeles Fitness Photographer Shoots Yoga in San Diego

Yoga Photo Shoot for Tennyson Red. Tennyson Red is Yoga Apparel Company focusing on these beautiful hand made headbands. This shoot took place in Vista, CA where they have these amazing murals all over the town. Take a look at the entire campaign here!

Yoga Photography from our advertising shoot for The Bay Clubs in Los Angeles, CA. We were hired by AMF Media to create a library of images that The Bay Clubs could use for collateral, mailers and on their web site. They gave us the task of photographing five different locations in 3 days. Not an easy task in Los Angeles since it took a couple hours each day just to get from one location to another.

These yoga images are from a shoot we did for Jessica Valant in San Diego, CA. Jessica is a wonderful yoga and pilates coach and personal trainer. Check out her You Tube Page here.
