South American Soap Opera Breakout Role!

Sorry I've been really bad about updating this blog. I don't think anyone even reads it.

Anyway, my former client Juan Pablo just facebook messaged me saying he is back in Venezuela because he landed the lead role on a new soap!

Here's the trailer:



It's looking like they might get picked up by Univision.

Exciting!

He actually had really long hair when we shot...



And I had tied it back and then photoshopped it to look shorter so that he could go out for more mainstream roles.



In the end they cast him in this soap but forced him to cut his hair anyway. He looks SO great in the promo.



J.P. is also apparently slated to play a "Sexy Male Angel" in some upcoming film.

I see a big future for this one!

He's going to be the next Javier Bardem. But even better-looking!

The Army Look - So hot right now.

My former headshot client Dave Hsin, who I photographed in NYC several years ago when I was just starting out, has made the move to Los Angeles.

He came to me today needing updated headshots. One of the shots his agents suggested he get was a army-type shot in camouflage gear or an army jacket or something because those kinds of roles are really popular right now.

So we shot an army look.



It wasn't so simple though.

See, the problem was that he didn't bring an army jacket or camo-gear.

So...we improvised...with shorts!



Yay photo-trickery!

Danny Smith - Hand Modeling Headshots

Danny Smith's agency (I think it's either Click Models or Vision Models) decided that they wanted us to go out and shoot some shots so that he could pursue additional work as a "parts model", specifically a hand model.

They told us to just be creative. Use props. Whatever.

Here's what we came up with:

Standard shots...




Point!



Thumbs up!



OK!



Squeeze the towel!



Twist the towel!



Wax on, wax off!



Hold the keys!



Pinky out!



Show me the money!



SHOW ME BIG BILLS!!!!



Talk on the phone!



Talk on the iPhone!



Great news!



LOL!



iPhone Paparazzi!



That was fun.

It's always neat to break from the regular headshot routine once in a while.

.......................

I still think Danny makes a great "real" model...

Just added his pics to my website.

Kristina Klebe Headshots

Kristina, has carved out a little niche for herself, starring as an ass-kicking chick in several horror/zombie thrillers such as Zone of the Dead...



And Escape of the Living Dead...



But she's probably best known for her lead role as the sexy young heroine (I'm actually not sure if she dies or not) in 2007's remake of Halloween...




And just this past month she was featured on the April issue of Serbian Maxim...



...............................

Anyway, she recently cut her hair real short. And came to me for some new pictures.



I think the cut gives her a really cool and edgy action star vibe.

Which is awesome because she goes out for a recurring role on next season's 24 tomorrow!

Something tells me she just might get it.

I think she'll get it.

She has to get it.

GET THE ROLE KRISTINA.

Jenifer Kingsley Headshots

Today I photographed another client of White Swan Management, Jennifer Kingsley.

She was really fun to work with. Had a very clear idea of the looks she wanted.

I really like the cop-like shot we did for her. Everyone's been wanting this look lately!

Deema Aitken Headshots

Deema Aitken is a 16-year-old(?) actor I shot in New York City.

He took direction incredibly well and could change up even the subtlest expression to whatever I said, be it "angsty", "lost", or "Disney channel happy".

I discovered a great new shopping mall location with lots of killer background lights...



I'll definitely be putting him up on my website. Fo' sheezy.

Jennifer Wren Headshots

Shoot location: New York City



Jennifer Wren is a hilarious, extraordinarily talented actress.

She's one of those really petite people with SO much energy.

She had a very clear idea in mind of the characters she was hoping to portray amd was very specific as to the wardrobe she wanted to wear.

Our shoot was so much fun!

Check out the very popular open mic night she hosts with Bill Zeffiro:

Big Night Out.

Lady Di joins a law firm / gets corporate headshots

Diana Wagnon just joined a new law firm and needed a new corporate headshot for her website profile.

She has fantastic hair. Shooting long hair is often tricky, but when the wind catches it just right it looks fantastic.

I worried that the shot might be to glamour shotty for a law website. But she disagreed and loved it.

Can you imagine going up against this one in court. How could you ever concentrate? Yow!

Shane Sinutko - Headshots

One thing I love about my job is the characters I meet and the incredible stories I hear.

Shane Sinutko, my headshot client today, needs to write a book.

From getting knifed in the back in his late teens to becoming a child actor to becoming homeless and living under a house and sleeping with possums to becoming Matt Damon's stuntman and traveling all over the world to shoot the Bourne Ultimatum, this guy has had the most incredible life, and he looks back on it with such humor and a great attitude.

We did some cop/investigator shots to complement his portfolio for the roles he's been called-in for a lot lately.

Melissa and Cody Gay Headshots

I went with Katie to Las Vegas this weekend. We went to the Celine Dion concert which was EPIC.

While there I photographed this hilarious couple, Melissa and Cody Gay. ("The Gays.")

Haha. :-)




She is a professional dancer. He is a musician/singer. They met working on a cruise ship, have been married less than a year, and were really the most adorable couple ever.



(They are one of those couples where the girl is a total knockout and the guy is cute, but clearly he has won her over with his wit and charm and fun spontaneous personality and it's obvious that she loves him because he makes her laugh and because in the long run they'll both be old and wrinkly but he will still be able to make her laugh until she pees her pants and then he will lift her out of her wheelchair and change her diaper and kiss her on the forehead and they will be together forever.)

Meredith Barnett Headshots

Meredith Barnett was my first roommate when I moved to Los Angeles.

The first headshot I ever took was hers. I guess I could call her a muse.

I mean...look at this perfect face!
