Lefteris has been doing more writing lately, and he needed an updated headshot to go with a recent article. He needed it quickly, and we needed to take a minimum amount of time shooting it – minimum as in “while the baby is napping, and within earshot”. Translation: our back yard and the alleyway between Read more…
We’ve been seeing a lot of this sofa lately. Well, here’s one more session, but this time I did something different with it – added a backdrop, and lit it with an umbrella instead of window light. These are Lefteris’s parents, Perry’s grandparents, and two people for whom I am extremely grateful – for raising Read more…
I’m a sucker for a jumping shot. So with a beautiful setting like this…what else could I do? First I got Ina jumping. Then she turned the camera around (Ina is also a great photographer)!

We went through a few ideas of how to shoot him, Read more…
We found a small playground, I climbed up high, and Simon looked up at me. Poof: childlike and curious.
I shot Sam and Catalina together. Sam, to put it frankly, kicks ass. We call him “Sam the man” and so the concept for his shoot was a bit of a superhero thing. I didn’t want to go all the way to a costume – more like Superman in his office clothes. Location The most Read more…
After seeing the ZAAZ London photos, Simon asked me if I’d help with a gift for his girlfriend: some photos of himself portraying different sides of his personality. He is ADORABLE and super personable and I really looked forward to doing this! In the end we shot five different looks on one Saturday. I liked Read more…
