Liz @ Wolfsmouth Vintage Clothing

What do you do when one of your friends needs your help and asks you to shoot her vintage dresses? Well, if you're me, and your friend is Liz at Wolfsmouth Vintage, then you agree, but only if you get to make fun of her turban hat, can force her into ridiculous poses and run the risk of getting in trouble for slight trespassing. The shoot was fun, the dresses and cloaks and hats looked great, and neither of us got in any trouble with the law. Great success.

Comic-Con

This was the second year in a row I went to New York City's Comic-Con, but the first time I had my camera. In 2009, I was so overwhelmed and geeked out by EVERYTHING I saw, I couldn't even think about taking photos. This year, after an 18 month wait, I was still pretty geeked and overwhelmed, but I was determined to capture the spirit of the 'con in stills. From Erick Scarecrow (founder and genius at ESC Toy and overall great guy) to Jesus and Sexy Nurse posing for me at the closing of the last day, these are a few of my favorites. You can see more of the images here.

Janet in the Studio (Hair-Blowingly)

As a favor, Janet asked me to shoot some shots of her blowing hair out of her face. This led to the following cinc-tychs (???) and an effort by both of us. It seemed she was more successful.

Janet in the Studio (Unexpectedly)

After a hard half a day shooting casting photos of 50-60 year old men in workout clothes at a nice NY studio, I was allowed to use the space for myself by the gracious and glamorous Karen of Difficult Egg Productions. I invited my friend Janet to come downtown. Not fully aware of what she was signing up for, she still kindly agreed to model for me. Here's a few of my favorites:

Brad

My friend Brad was kind enough to trek down from the Bronx to assist on a portfolio shoot with a model. When the model canceled through a proxy (who didn't even tell me until I asked him about her) an hour before the shoot, it was too late to send him home. Improvisation took over and I shot a couple of Brad. These are the less racy images.

The Conveniences of Modern Living

I had the pleasure of shooting Daniel John Kelley's hysterical black comedy, "The Conveniences of Modern Living," at his run-through. Here are some stills from it:

The New Great Depression

Last year, I had the pleasure of meeting and collaborating with Kewhan, a male model, and Levon, a fashion stylist. He was eager to do an editorial fashion shoot, and get some images for his comp card. The idea behind the shoot was the New Great Depression, updated for modern times. I was very pleased to hear the entire card is images I shot with him that day. Here are some of my favorites:
