Form and beauty are some of the ingredients of great photography. Nothing is more beautiful than the form and beauty of the body.
Head Hand Feet w/Vetro Glass
Vetro Glass started it's furnaces in 1999. Since then, founder David Gappa has made countless globs of molten glass into delicate works of art. I was lucky enough to hang out with him, artists Eric and Spencer while they produced these one of a kind pieces. Metal, wood, wax, water, smoke, muscle and fire shape the glass quickly as all three artists orbit each other with crackerjack timing. It's an amazing choreographed dance always in the glow of the 2000°+ furnaces. Thanks for the experience Vetro and not letting me burn myself.

Femme Fatale
Nicole Kaspar plays the title role in this Fashion spread I shot in a seedy no tell motel. Styled by Julie Buckner and hair and makeup by Lisa Martensen.
Audacity Brew House
It's no secret that I love craft beer. Imagine how thrilled I was when Audacity Brew House commissioned me to shoot for their tap room. They wanted to give customers a glimpse into their working brewery and I shot with an idea of showing the grain to glass process. What a fun day hanging at the brewery combining two of my passions beer and photography.
Denim Days
I'm a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy and in this shoot the handsome @ColbyBrittain is decked out in the denim. These were from a Levi's shoot I did in Dallas.
NY NY
My home town. I grew up just north of the city and every time my feet touch the ground here it feels like home. These shots are the same ones everyone takes from the top of the empire state building except I used film. That's right film. Flawed, light leaked, amazingly imperfect film.
Denali National Park & Preserve
The trip through Denali National Park in the heart of Alaska is a grueling one. One dusty 91 mile road only open to park vehicles and specially permitted cars leading you on an amazing trail of breathtaking landscapes and wildlife. On a good day you get fantastic views of snow capped Mount McKinley the highest peak in North America. Luckily I had a good day. There was even a helicopter ride to a nearby glacier. What an amazing experience.
Wallflower Zine
Check out my work in Wallflower's latest Zine. It's the health issue and I shot the Physical Education Spread that starts at page 58.
Winter in Dallas
Every year it snows a few times in Dallas and the city more or less shuts down. I'm ok with that because it gives me a chance to get out of the studio and play around.
