SHOTS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE

I like photos that leave you a little uneasy. Not to the point of “disturbing”, although that can be good at times too. Just that slight feeling of “strange” that might provoke a question. i am always clipping out images that I like and posting them on my INSPIRATION BOARD in my office. And some of them always make me stop, look deeper and ask questions.

I was going through a recent shoot’s out takes and found these. Its funny to see the INSPIRATION BOARD working. I can see the influence and they even give me that ever so slight feeling of uncomfortableness an curiosity.

THE FIRST 3 FRAMES

I always have a Nikon FM with me. And because i don’t know exactly how many times to wind it when I load it…the first few frames are always interesting.

Here’s the first 3 from a day at Kolohe Andino’s house.

WIZARDS OF OZ

by the way…my last post was #100. yahhh, it only took me 2 years.

So, its a been a great year so far. I’ve been busy, traveling a lot, finishing up 2 campaigns in multiple sports. I promise to update some photos and info once I can divulge more about them.

For now, heres a few photos from the Art director on our last shoot in Australia. This was during the scout day. We were jet-lagged as hell but found our way through some really nice spots. Thanks Jesse.

Below that are some shots that I took randomly during the shoot. They could be misfires, tests etc. I’m not really sure, just like them.

our room looked out over snappers to kirra.
