Here’s new work of mine that was published in the Winter 2008 issue of LTD Magazine. Which is available at limited retailers, but more details can be found at www.ltdmag.com. Essentially, it was a project to display the “Best Spots In Miami” through the eyes of Miami-based clothing/sneaker store Shoe Gallery. I took tons of photos of great restaurants, retails stores and celebreities for the project. Above is a snapshot of the tearsheet. Below the tearsheet are a couple photos that were shot for the project that didn’t make the final published version, but nonetheless are great photos.

Here’s a photoshoot with North Miami based Musician/Producer by the name of Shiv. We chose to use a wall installation created by Obey located in Miami’s Overtown area. The post production of this shoot involved a couple various retouch techniques and per request of the client, and these specific versions shown above show a granier and over-sharpened effect.

This is one of my favorite photos. This was a photoshoot for hip-hop/rock artist Quote-7. The trick to nail the shoot was to take a photo that can speak what Quote was about. Quote was as equally a hip-hop artist as he was a rock artist. So with that in mind, I took him to this wall that a friend was commissioned to paint (the skull with speakers graphic) and the rest was history. And for my nitpickers reading this, the washed out detail on his left arm and watch was done intentionally in post-production.

Here are a couple product shots of the final “numbered” Air Jordan sneaker to ever be released. Entitled the Air Jordan XX3 “Finale”. Retailed for $230 with only 529 pairs sold worldwide.

Here are a couple photos from a photoshoot I did with Sarah. Sarah isn’t aspiring to be a model or anything, she just wanted photos for herself and from what I assume, to use on her Myspace profile. Both shots were taken using natural light at around the 3PM in the afternoon.
