Personal PROJECTS: 2022

Below is a roster of the main projects I’m currently working on for art exhibitions, wall art, books, zines, and more.

I kindly and humbly ask curators, gallerists and others from the art world to reach out if you’re interested in featuring me.

 

ALICE: Post Rehab

Alice came back from wonderland and landed in rehab. But that wouldn’t stop her! Eventually she just walked out on her own volition. Now she’s feeding her curiosity again.

She’s less interested in the drugs and spirits, and more interested in exploration.

Follow Alice as she discovers the corners of the world.

DETAILS

  • CASTING: Open to all who climb, crawl, swim, slide, and run

  • STYLING: You’re playing Alice! Be fun, free, and stylish!

  • LOCATIONS: City and some nature. It’s always helpful when others have a new place to explore!

  • TIMING: Day or Night Shoots

 
 

man eaters

Let’s all assume Marilyn Monroe lived. In fact she made it to to her 80th birthday in 2006. While she didn’t have any kids, her friends did. And along the way her closest friends gave her the title of God Mother. She owned that title.

Fast forward to today. They’re here now, on the scene. Bombshell vixens running the city. They were given blessings from their fairy godmother to own NY and LA.

The Hadid’s and the Kardashians can’t keep up as they create their own inner circle.

DETAILS

  • CASTING: Bombshell vixens

  • STYLING: Chic

  • LOCATIONS: All City (I will need help with locations. I’ve been shooting grunge since I arrived in LA)

  • TIMING: Weekday evenings

 
 

SWIM

A simple prtfolio of work to present commercial clients. This will be evolving over time.

DETAILS

  • CASTING: Open to swim models

  • STYLING: Bring 3-4 interesting bikinis. Partial and implied nudity are optional.

  • LOCATIONS: Malibu, Palos Verde, Palisades, Laguna or wherever. Please let me know if you have a special location!

  • TIMING: Weekday mornings or afternoons

 
 

HOLY MOUNTAIN CULT

The world was flipped on its head and a group of women and girls fled to the mountains. There they began something cute and sweet, which quickly turned in to a cult.

The women and girls break apart - some choose a more innocent and spiritual path, others a religious path, some find themselves committing acts of violence, whilst a few find lovers. We still haven’t found the cult leader, but we hear she’s hiding in the woods.

This series shows snapshots in to the lives of the feral women of the mountains

DETAILS

  • CASTING: Open to all who have a witchy side.

  • STYLING: Bring white dresses, things that can get wet and/or dirty, any props, and a strange imagination.

  • LOCATIONS: Nature (typically 60+ mins outide of LA)TIMING: Day or Night Shoots

  • RATING: R. References to violence, drugs, and adult themes. Nudity or partial nudity is optional

 
 

Narnia: A ballet story

This series will be completely different than everything else I do: simple, sweet, gentle, and kind.

Each of these shoots will have its own concept that would be suitable for a childrens book. I want this series to be of ballerinas, for ballerinas, and those who have always romantacized ballet.

DETAILS

  • CASTING: Open to intermediate and advanced dancers. I would like to include all ages (I really want to find some older ballerinas who would be interested, as well as both M or F)

  • STYLING: Everything ballet related.

  • LOCATIONS: Nature or City

  • TIMING: Day

 
 

THE FINAL ACT

A ballerina has been wronged. Now she will do everything to make things right.

We see the world through her victims. She finds her victim, seduces them dances for them, let’s them feel powerful, then takes her revenge when they least expect it. When she can’t get to them in their waking lives, she hunts then in their dreams. There is no escape from her or her wrath.


DETAILS

  • CASTING: Open to all intermediate and advanced dancers

  • STYLING: Everything ballet related. Pieces that can get ripped, wet, dirty.

  • LOCATIONS: Nature or City

  • TIMING: Day or Night Shoots

 
 

Cinema I

What if you opened a drawer and found images and you couldn’t tell if they were real, or scenes from a film?

That is the basis of this series.

Cinema (1) is focused on themes of surrender, emotions, fantasy, glamour, sex, death, and surrealism.

This series gives a nod to 60’s and 70’s art house films, as well as psycho-sexual thriller films from the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s - none of which would get produced today.

DETAILS

  • CASTING: Open to all

  • STYLING: Mixed

  • LOCATIONS: City and some Nature

  • TIMING: 24/7

 
 

Mother Earth

Not to be confused with the Mother Nature series (below), Mother Earth is a series full of questions:

“What if we misunderstood Mother Earth?

What if she’s just as fascinated and curious about the stars and humans as we are of her?

What if she loves our power and wisdom as much as we love hers?

What if she’s watching us when we look at constellations or check out our reflections in the water?”

Here we see her voyeuristic perspective as she makes connections between earth, people, time, and the stars.

DETAILS

  • CASTING: Must be 18+ and conformable standing still for 15 seconds for each shot.

  • STYLING: Nude

  • LOCATIONS: 90+ minutes away from the city so we can get proper lighting/stars.

  • TIMING: Ideally nights with 1/4 and 3/4 moon or less.

 
 

DREAMSCAPES

This series is the basis for most of my work. The idea is “did you ever have a dream that you couldn’t explain?”

Dreams are strange. This series (and much of my work) is playing with obtuse imagery that is connected to the dream world.

Your friends face started to distort and she couldn’t put it back? You were skateboarding through a cemetery? You lived underwater? You had sex with a friend? This is the space for the more imaginative and loose ideas.

The dream world is all about fantasy. And the dreamscape series explores some of our weirdest ideas.

DETAILS

  • CASTING: Open to all

  • STYLING: mixed. But ideally you will find some props to help the story

  • LOCATIONS: City and Nature

  • TIMING: 24/7

 
 

Vernon

Vernon is a project juxtaposing the temporary nature of youth and beauty alongside the difficult world of a blue collar industrial landscapes.

Here we witness blunt dichotomies:
Hard and Soft,
Human and Industrial,
Masculine and Feminine.

It’s a human centipede without the vulgarity. The images are a result of a unique situation where the talent can safely explore a dangerous world.

Due to the nature of industrial parks, these scenes each take time to locate and result in a moment where we see a flash of personal rapture for the individuals being photographed.

DETAILS

  • CASTING: Anyone open to going t the grossest place in all of LA

  • STYLING: Scandalous

  • LOCATIONS: Downtown. Please note that this is a live location scouting! Meaning: every night has different scenes, lighting and vibes. We scout until we find the perfect scene. This requires some extra driving around

  • TIMING: Weekday nights

 
 

Phenomena

This is a celebration of Father Time. It’s a meditation on our temporary shared existence with earth and space.

Common friends of this series are the moon, stars, earth, and the unexplained.

Find me shooting this in the mountains, in burnt down forests, on islands, along the ocean, in the desert and anywhere else uninhabited by crowds where I’m able to see the night sky.

CASTING: Open to Planet Earth, Father Time, The Moon, The occasional wanderer.

 
 

Home Alone

Home Alone is a simple series that explores people in their own homes. The images have a more open interpretation while the focus is on the model, her home, and her experience in the space.

DETAILS

  • CASTING: Anyone

  • STYLING: Whatever you would naturally wear at home.

  • LOCATIONS: Your place, or your friends place

  • TIMING: 24/7
