I’ve been waiting for this to come out. Shot the Simon Baker story this summer out on the beach in El Segundo. Had a great time, and my lovely team pulled out the stops to get it done, and a great job at that!  My favorite stylist, Melinda Tarbell,  and I had to put our heads together to do some quick onset problem solving to iron out a few humps along the way. A big part of photography is being able to solve problems on the fly to create a favorable outcome. It’s like a puzzle.

In case you don’t know who Simon Baker is, he was in The Devil Wears
Prada as mysterious writer who hits on Anne Hathaway throughout the
movie. He also had a TV show called The Gaurdian, and stopped by for a
spot in LA Confidential.

Marie Claire was super excited with the results. So excited in fact, they decided to do a contributer feature on me, which I’m proud of. (Thanks to Kyle Barnes for giving me a photo to throw in the mag last minute)

They did a little behind the scenes page so if you look on the bottom left of the below scan, you’ll see a few photos from the set.
