Ghostly Bodies
And now for something different. This week’s photos started off as a class assignment and I used the occasion to try something new. I wanted to create some abstract nudes using long exposure with the help of two friends. I posted my eight favorites here. I was unable to secure a studio space for the … Continue reading
Portrait Shoot with Dazzletine
Hey everyone, Here are some sweet photos I shot for local Pittsburgh rock band Dazzletine. They’ve been getting a lot of buzz since they were featured in the City Paper back in November so lead singer Dan Koshute called me up for a promotional shoot. Although I’ve been photographing Dazzletine for a year this is … Continue reading
Photographing for the Jews
Good news everyone, After nearly a year on hiatus I finally got a photo published in a real newspaper. Earlier this week I completed my first assignment for the Jewish Chronicle of Pittsburgh. The J-Chronic, as I like to call it, doesn’t have the same international reach as the Pitt News or the Original Magazine, … Continue reading
Andre the Aspiring Stunt Man
Andre Crews is a bartender at a pub in Shadyside I like to frequent. Late one night a few weeks ago as I was getting ready to go to sleep I got a text from my friend Brendan. He was at the bar and said that Andre was looking to become a stunt man and … Continue reading
An Afternoon With Brendan
This photo shoot ended up being completely different than what I originally envisioned. Due to a series of technical mishaps what should have been a body paint shoot ended up being a simple photo session with my friend Brendan Sullivan. I had hoped to experiment with a multiple light setup but I’m not one to … Continue reading

Photo Shoot with C.H.R.I.S. and a Lambo
Here’s another photo shoot from earlier in the summer. It was my pleasure to work with Local Pittsburgh hip-hop artist Chris Mitchell aka C.H.R.I.S. (Coordinating Higher Riches Infinitely Shining). We did this shoot on top of Mt. Washington overlooking downtown Pittsburgh and were fortunate enough to have a Lamborghini available for the shoot. At first … Continue reading
Painting My Way into Fine Art
Last week I did my first serious entry into fine art photography with a photo shoot involving body paint. Earlier in the summer a friend asked me for some art work for his home and rather than print some old stuff of mine I decided to try something new. I had this idea to paint … Continue reading
Impromptu Photoshoot with SleepyV
So Saturday evening I get a text from my friend Derek (whom I shot earlier this summer) asking if I could take some photos for his band Sleepy V. They’re being featured in Smokescreen Magazine and needed some sweet band photos for the story. I wasn’t really sure how I was going to shoot these … Continue reading
Picture Time with the Dams
A few weekends ago I braved the heat with the Dam family for an afternoon family photo shoot in Frick Park. The Dams came in from Youngstown, OH for the day to visit their daughter Rachel, who you may remember from this photo shoot. Temperature aside, the weather was nice and everyone was please with … Continue reading
