New Portfolios

I just spent the last 4 days making prints for four new portfolios. That is 204 prints. 23 ink cartridges. 5 trips to Calumet. 2 headaches.

Joel McHale and Gillian Jacobs

This is a shot that just came out in the new issue of BlackBook magazine. Mr. McHale (besides being hilarious for the last 5 years on The Soup)stars with Gillan Jacobs on the great new TV show COMMUNITY on NBC. The magazine said the issue was the "spotlight" issue, so, every picture had to in some fashion incorporate a spotlight effect. I wanted to do something funny and goofier then my normal somber pictures. I also figured the actors would have an easier time if they could goof around with each other instead of trying to be serious or sexy. I had this vision of Mr. McHale and Ms. Jacobs as rich, NY socialites who had t break out of prison. The idea being that they are caught in the searchlight trying to escape. We had so much fun doing this and had many crazy fits of laughter. I'm a big fan of this shot. It was also, believe it or not, the very first shot we took. I've included the visual reference I had which was the iconic WINGS Band On The Runalbum cover.

Claire Danes

This is a recent shoot I did with Claire Danes on in the penthouse of the Thompson LES hotel in New York City.
