Film Camer-RAH

The shots below are photos from 2 different rolls of film. These photos include shots from my first 2 months here at my new place in DTLA. Enjoy! 00000008

Jacob and Melanie Barlow 10.29.2011

I shot Jacob and Melanie's wedding 2 weeks ago and it was amazing. When Jacob and Melanie told me that Jacob has a million people in his family (no exaggeration), I preemptively got a headache thinking of all the bossing around I would have to do... But both families were great to work with. Everyone was very nice and took direction very well, despite myself being horrible at giving directions. That day I shot with my Nikon D7000, D200, and my Minolta Maxxum 5. I've edited some of the photos I took with my digital camera and posted a few on Facebook, but the shots you see below are from my film camera. The only thing I altered on the photo is the exposure (making the picture brighter) and the photos look great. Hope you enjoy them!!! 00000002

St. Vincent at The Music Box at Fonda 10.18.2011

St. Vincent came around last week in support of her 3rd studio album, and one of my favorite releases of 2011, "Strange Mercy". Those around me know how big of a crush I have on Annie Clark aka St. Vincent so I was very excited to get approved (last minute) to shoot the show.  The night was amazing and I was pleased with the photos I got.
Hope you like them too!
Enjoy!

WU LYF at The Echo 07.26.2011

This post is WAY WAY late... but that's okay.
As I was making some more room on my hard drive I came across these shots I took of WU LYF back in July. This show was definitely one of my favorite shows of 2011. Just picture The Echo in Echo Park jam packed, sweaty bodies dancing around, and a massive smile on my face intermittently covered by my camera each time I took a shot.

WU LYF's album is "Go Tell Fire to the Mountain" is one of my favorite releases of 2011 and really excited to see them in November at The Troubadour and I highly recommend checking them out if they come to a venue near you.
enjoy!

YACHT at The Echo Plex!

YACHT, comprised of Jonah Bechtolt and Claire Evans, performed at The Echo Plex last Friday night as part of the Filter Magazine's Culture Collide Festival.  They went on shortly after midnight, but you couldn't tell by how energized the crowd was as YACHT ripped through a 45 minute set. It was really fun to see YACHT evolve from just Jona and his laptop to a full band featuring Claire and great video visuals projected in the background. One thing didn't change... and that's Jona's energy.  Make sure to check out YACHT if they ever come around... you will not be disappointed.
In the meanwhile check out the photos from last Friday below!
Enjoy!

Dum Dum Girls at the Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa

In my opinion there aren't enough girl groups out there that rock like Dum Dum Girls.
These gals dressed all in black, took the stage, and rocked a good 45 minute set. As always with the small club shows the lighting was a little iffy, but I think i did alright... Tell me what you think!

BQH Headshots

A couple weeks ago my friend Brighton asked me to shoot some head shots for her upcoming acting auditions and today we finally got them done. We went down to the Arts District in DTLA and found some cool spots to shoot. You can't really tell, but the photos where Brighton is wearing a mustard colored shirt is the same location where they shot scenes from the movie Drive with that Ryan Gosling character... not sure if you know who he is.
ANYWAY...
Here are some of my favorites photos from today!
Special thanks goes to The Senator for helping us out!
If you need some head shots hit me up and I can schedule you in! 626-290-7351

311 in Santa Barbara County Bowl

311 in Santa Barbara County Bowl was amazing... I've had so many great memories at the county bowl that all include 311.
One memory that's fresh in my mind took place on 05/26/2000 and the Los Angeles Lakers were playing game 3 of the Western Conference Championship series against the Portland Trailblazers. I remember the anxiety not being able to do both things. Anyhow, during the show Nick Hexum announced that the Lakers had beaten the Trailblazers 93-91 and the whole place erupted. I was jumping up and down and my friend Derek and I were about to embrace when he accidentally knocked my glasses off and they broke upon hitting the ground. I picked them up and watch the show holding my broken glasses on my face.

That was an awesome night in more ways than one... and last Sunday was no different.
Here are some photos from that show if you forgot how amazing the night was.
Enjoy!

311 in San Diego 08.19.2011

Last weekend I flew up to San Francisco to shoot a ton of cool bands who's energy was amazing and palpable... and it was amazing. Last night that same amazing energy came from two bands Sublime with Rome and 311. Unfortunately the traffic getting to San Diego was so bad that I missed the first 3 songs to shoot Sublime with Rome. No worries there... i'm shooting them tonight and tomorrow night as well. I did however shoot 311. And if you've never seen 311 before, they're like a musical defibrillator. They make you come alive with their music and last night was no exception. Check out my photos from last night's show below!
Enjoy!
