the sea of jeans

what a productive week! the concept for this shot was to use denim and replicate the surface of the ocean. to break up the shot a bit we used various tones of denim which gave it some really nice lines. we also included some of the details of the jeans which helped visually tell the story of you are looking at. for this image i had the pleasure of working with an up and coming product stylist by the name of gabriel trivelas. more denim to come...

the classic revisited

as a student my favorite project was an assignment called "objective-subjective". the concept was to force yourself to look at things in multiple ways and not settle for the first idea that came to mind or at least that was my interpretation of it. over the years this has been reoccurring theme in my work. yesterday and todays images can be found in the advertising section of my website.

lately, it seems like its all about bringing it back. from wayfarer sun glasses and converse sneakers to neon colors and vintage soda bottles, i can't but stop and think, hey, i've seen this before. i suppose thats the mark of a good brand, the ability to stay relevant as generations change and allowing the next crop of consumers to feel like they have stumbled upon something original. the icons of pop culture have always had a lasting effect, like something out of a norman rockwell painting, and who doesn't want to be a part of that? here is to keeping the class in the classics.

traveling on the ferry's can be a lot of fun. there is always a good view to be had and always some interesting characters to be seen. what's nice about it is that you are some what forced to take a break from your day and observe the world around you.
