I had the pleasure of photographing Guide COO, Leslie Bradshaw, for the November Issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine. Leslie is part of a “Lean In” group, in which her former female colleagues (all of whom are spread across the globe) meet via video conference, once a week, to chat about business and get feedback related to issues they may be experiencing. To maintain authenticity, we actually set up the photo shoot to take place during one such meeting. Although I tried […]

One of the many things I love about making portraits, is getting to help relay the diverse stories of so many interesting people. Maria Mejia, the subject of my POZ Magazine shoot, definitely has a striking story to tell. Diagnosed with HIV at the age of 18, she chose not to retreat from life, but rather to stand strong, educate herself, and share her story honestly. Armed with courage, a great deal of knowledge and empathy, she is able […]

At the beginning of August, I was approached by Marissa, of Haute Body Nutrition, to do some healthy-living, outdoor portraits for her website and marketing materials. As a nutritionist, she wanted portraits that conveyed her fresh, non-clinical approach. We also managed to squeeze in some fun, active lifestyle, surf shots on the beach, just before the rain rolled in. In the end, my camera may have gotten a little wet, but the combination of dramatic sky and turbulent waves added […]

Back in April I was asked to photograph Wayne Chaplin, President and COO of Southern Wine & Spirits for Forbes Life magazine. The editor at Forbes was looking for a shot with a lifestyle-y feel. With this information in mind, I picked a spot on the FIU campus, just outside of the new School of Hospitality & Tourism- A brand new building bearing Chaplin’s name. The finishing touches were just being applied inside the large building, which was funded largely […]

It may not be obvious by looking at me, but I sort of fancy myself a race car driver- that is to say that I not only like to drive, but like to drive really fast. (Just an irrelevant fact I thought I’d share since I’ll be talking about cars.) Okay, now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I can get to the real point of this post- photographing the real estate billionaire, turned car collector, Michael Dezer […]
