A second video for the stylish and funky Rapt New York, this one featuring models Rose Rosenfeld, Dr. Chanel Barnes and Stella Drews-Sheldon, all of whom were wonderful to work with. A shoot becomes so much easier when talent is this good.

​The music, by performance artist Katrina Stone, is commercially licensed through artlist.io.

I’m a big fan of European directors with a distinct visual style and have always wanted to try something like this. 

The handbag is designed by Nicole Levy for her company, Rapt New York. It’s handmade in New York’s garment district. Check it out at www.raptnewyork.com and

A special shout out to the model, Rose Rosenfeld, who did her own hair and makeup. 

A short video featuring models and wardrobes appearing at the RLC Fashion Runway Show, photographed at the Santa Anita Race Park in September 2025.

At the RLC Fashion Show held in Santa Anita, California. I shot video this time out, in a 2.39 aspect ratio, and this is a still frame from the footage.

Usually isolating a single frame and turning it into a photograph isn't a good idea because of the softness of the image, but I think the lighting, color, shallow depth of field and modeling are interesting enough that it works. 

Pictured is model Kilana Vaughn.

In the photo studio with recording artist, actor and model Nadia Lanfranconi. 
The video for her new song, “It Sucks To Be You,” featuring actor Kevin Dillon, and directed by Andrea Jako Giacomini, has launched. It’s written by Nadia Lanfranconi, Mario Fanizzi and Francesca Bombino.  Check it out here:

I’ve been fortunate to work with some really high-caliber talent this year, including recording artist, actor and model Nadia Lanfranconi.

There’s a great book called “Twentieth Century-Fox: Inside the Photo Archive,” which is filled with behind-the-scenes stills from the studio’s illustrious history. This shot reminds me of one of those photos: a glamorous and hard-working actor in between takes. Come to think of it, that book is dedicated to the late Patrick Miller, who used to run 20th Century-Fox’s photo archive. I would sometimes fill in for him when he went on vacation. A great guy who loved movies.
​
During this photo shoot, it was fun listening to Nadia, who is from Italy, talk about the differences between native-Italian and Italian-American cuisine. Thanks to her professionalism, she made the session effortless.

My first studio photo shoot in the Los Angeles Fashion District.
 
I was lucky enough to work with Zoey Bittner, who has a lot of experience modeling for fashion shoots and walking runways for clothing designers. 

I first photographed Zoey at a fashion show in downtown Los Angeles. She was modeling this same dress, which was designed by Elena Roesler and was one of my favorites of the show.

This was my first time working with more than one model. It could have been a double headache but it wasn't, thanks to their professionalism.
