Dirty Durty Diary

New celebrity photos of actors/comedians published in the new issue of the Dirty Durty Diary Magazine's Funny Issue.

Resource Mag

I have some new photos that were just published in Resource Magazine's latest issue. I was asked to take a portrait of Tyson Smyer, the Studio Manager at Edge Rentals in Los Angeles, CA. He's a great guy to know if you are in the LA photo industry. He runs the photo studio and has also worked with top photographer's such as Greg Gorman and Craig McDean.

Lilith Fair

I had the privilege of hanging out with my good friend and super talented musician, Jes Hudak, during this year's Lilith Fair in Los Angeles, CA. Jes was the winner of the Ourstage.com Lilith Fair contest and was hand picked by a panel to perform alongside artists such as Sarah McLachlan, Emmylou Harris, Miranda Lambert, The Weepies and Brandi Carlile at the Los Angeles show on July 10, 2010. It was really cool to see an amazing talent like Jes on stage with some of todays biggest female stars...I guess she is now officially a star herself! So proud of this girl. Check out all the photos here!

Coachella 2010

I just finished editing photos from an amazing weekend at the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, CA. It was my second year in a row to go there and cover the event. This year I was asked to shoot for the Do LaB, an amazing group of musicians, artists and performers who I camped with and documented during the whole festival. This year seemed to be more jam packed than last year. There was so many people that it was a little more difficult to get around from show to show, but the ones I saw were well worth the wait! Some of my favorite performances of the week were from The Dead Weather, Fever Ray, Beach House, Thom Yorke and Flea, Grizzly Bear, Les Claypool, Muse, Hot Chip, The xx and of course the Do LaB. You can see all my photos from the festival here! Long live Coachella ;)

Amy Paffrath

New photos of the lovely and talented Amy Paffrath, the newest host of E! We shot at Smashbox Studios for N. Brown Clothing's new women's t-shirt line.

Elle Magazine

Elle Magazine just published my photos of Janelle Monae, Perry Farrell & Crystal Castles in their August 2009 issue! I took photos for the Chloe Party at the new Milk Studios in LA. I am so stoked...next stop is Rolling Stone! You can see all of the photos from that evening here!

Christina Murphy

I shot with Christina Murphy almost a year ago. She's an amazing actress and just so happens to be incredibly funny. Who would have thought this time last year she'd be one of the newest rising stars in Hollywood?! Apparently the Wayans Brothers did because she plays Nora in their new satirical comedy “Dance Flick!” The film is in theaters tomorrow, May 22 and it's already getting great reviews. I'll be there with camera in hand. This movie is gonna be hilarious, I hope to see you there!

Coachella 2009

Ahhh...Coachella. What an amazing music festival! I shot Coachella for Redefine Magazine. Matthieu Duquette, a talented writer and good friend of mine, is collaborating on the story with me. My friends and I all drove down to Indio, CA together to partake in the three day event and exciting festivities. The first night we arrived late, but were able to catch the entire set of Paul McCartney. I am so glad I can say I saw him perform in my lifetime, it was almost like watching the Beatles! That night we met a guy who needed to borrow my cell phone b/c his ride left him behind. We gave him a ride to his house about 10 minutes away and he ended up letting us camp out in his yard the next two nights. My friend got me free VIP passes on Saturday and then I got a backstage pass on Sunday! I got to hang and photograph MIA, Devendra Banhart, The Horrors, The Kills and many more. The Cure performed a 3 hour set and literally had their sound cut off by Coachella b/c of curfew. Overall it was an amazing experience and I can't wait to go back next year! Big thanks to Alex, Vivian, Guy, Carmen, Tommy & all the people who helped make this trip possible.

Milk

Thursday night's boutique opening party for Chloé was held at Milk Studios in Hollywood. The star studded event's celebrity guests included Kate Bosworth, Chloe Sevigny & Maria Sharapova amongst many others. The stylish venue and posh crowd had a very NYC vibe. After a special performance by Janelle Monae, Perry Farrell, from Jane's Addiction, and Crystal Castles performed. The crowd was jammin to the sounds of Perry Farrell who DJ'd and then sang a few songs. The lead singer of Crystal Castles hit the stage around midnight lit only by a hand held strobe light and belted out some sweet vocals.
