Images from a recent photo project with Rising Sun & Co. Clothing. Really had fun with this one, and used their strong brand vision as theme for the photo shoot. From their website:
“Rising Sun & Co. handcrafts indigo clothing that capture the optimistic spirit America is founded on, from a time when jeans were not merely made but crafted … We often think of ourselves as actually working in the early 1900′s with our 21st century minds intact. We believe in the meticulous pattern making and sewing techniques employed by master tailors of a bygone era. We believe in crafting garments that are certain to last just like in the old days when clothes were tools that helped people provide a living and build a nation. For us the workmanship is crucial.”
Just wrapped a shoot for Rising Sun Jeans, shooting at this amazing bike shop, SouthBay Customs. This is Hank, who stole the show!
Just completed a second round of shooting for the new Canadian-based clothing line, Mango Baby, whose website will launch this spring. This shoot focused on the emotional bonding between mother and baby during the first year of life … from newborn to crawling to walking.
Portrait of my incredibly hip friend Tony and his magnificent mustachio. Tony founded Mustache For Memory, a non-profit focused on supporting Alzheimer’s research and those living with the disease. Visit the website to get a wearable mustache business card, and drop him a like on Facebook, in support of good cause.
Happy to be included in the recently published Newspace Retrospective Book. To celebrate the move into their beautiful new gallery space this summer, Newspace Center for Photography (Portland, Oregon) published a book of the last 9 years of exhibitions. The book is a limited edition of 250. Pick up your copy here.
