Here is the latest one with Lady Gaga shot by the great Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Seeing Above

 

 

I have been taking a little bit of a break from blogging and photography.
Getting a new perspective and collecting new inspirations.
Be back soon, with a million photos.
Stay Colorful.

Chase Jarvis

Here are some sweet pics by the always inspiring Chase Jarvis. Something I love about this guy’s work is the range. He can do raw portraits, dancers, crazy snowboarding jumps and beautiful landscapes to name a few… One of my favorite sections on his website is his iphone photos. There are just certain artists whose eye I just love, when you have that creative eye, it’s almost impossible to take a bad picture.
Check out his website and blog and  feel the inspiration.

Color Genius

This is a designer profile shot I did for designer Meg from Spaces Design. This woman is amazing with color.
Check out her website and blog for design and color info and inspiration. seespaces.com

Let your colors SHINE.

If only we all had the confidence to KNOW and BE our true selves.
To think of no one else’s opinions and judgements and just let our true colors shine out.

Shine bright. Shine free.

OLD is BEAUTIFUL.

This is a beautiful old tree I saw while in New Orleans. I edited it with a picture I took while in Florida underwater of the sun.
Tree of life.

Matt Barnes BLOG kicks ass!

I’ve followed this guy’s work for a while and it’s obviously SICK!! If you haven’t seen it, check it out here www.thatsthespot.com.  What inspires me most is his BLOG… the pictures are so good but what I REALLY love are the videos. I love that they are uncensored because let’s face it… censored art SUCKS. Dicks, boobs, weed, blow it’s all there.  These videos make it look FUN. Don’t get me wrong, I can tell they work their asses off but I watch videos of behind the scenes photo shoots all the time and it’s always missing the element of FUN.  For someone just starting out in the industry and someone who loves photography as a fine art… this renews my interest in commercial photography and gives me some INSPIRATION and HOPE!

THANK YOU!!!!

Colors, made by nature.
