For the last couple of years I've mostly been shooting portraits on location -which has been great fun. Earlier this year when the New York sky was grey and uninspiring I decided it was time to get back in to the studio and shoot some new portrait work, where I, for once was in control of both light and the environment.
I wanted to capture portraits that felt "unstaged" (which is always a challenge when shooting in studio) and also allow the viewer to create their own narratives. More images from this series will be available through Gallery Stock.

Dada Life in La La Land
For the last seven years I've been having the honor to shoot the official band images for my friends in Dada Life. Each year, as they become more and more famous our shoots becomes more and more elaborate. This year it took place inside a huge wearhouse in downtown LA. It's a highly collaborative effort between Stefan, Olle (who makes up Dada Life) and myself, with ideas being exchanged for several months before we get on set. Anyway, here are some portraits from our latest shoot, more images to come soon.
