It’s been far too long since I’ve updated the photo galleries on my website. While I’m proud of my photography, it’s rare that I’m hired to just shoot stills. I usually break out my camera when there’s a brief moment to do so. Here are some new and classic highlights from the four galleries.
Hopefully you have a moment to peruse the full galleries. First up: PEOPLE.
I sniped this shot in the Coyoacán neighborhood of Mexico City on 12/31/23. You can capture great candid moments on the Canon 70-200mm/2.8L IS II. After all, it’s a top choice of paparazzi worldwide for a reason.
In this latest round of updates, I added a section featuring the most interesting BTS moments I’ve gathered over the years working “on set.” I restricted that gallery to photos clearly taken on a film shoot (generally, you’ll see gear in the shot). Along with wide shots that show how the sausage is made, I often grab stills that can be used for publicity or poster art. I love this portrait of Bruce Nakashima (taken on 11/17/18), the star of the documentary The Volunteer.
Shooting ANIMALS is a passion of mine. As a vegan, I strive to capture the depth of character non-primate species possess in order to encourage proper treatment and conservation. To celebrate my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, they invited the family on a cruise to the Galápagos Islands. Naturally, it inspired me to make some upgrades to my stills package. Using the Fujifilm GFX-50SII with the GF 20-35mm F4 R WR lens (at 35mm), I got quite close to these blue-footed boobies on Isla Española (6/22/25).
While driving through rural Scotland on 1/3/16, we spotted this group of Highland cows and had to stop. This picture just makes me think, “friend, not food.” What do you think?
Landscapes, aka PLACES, make up the third album. My friend, Cody William Smith, is a wonderful DP/photographer, and he introduced me to the Hasselblad XPAN system. As someone who loves the widescreen format, I fell in love with the camera instantly. After almost a 20-year hiatus, I missed shooting 35mm film enough to purchase an old Canon A-1 on a whim in November 2024. After viewing the lackluster results, I craved more resolution. I returned the camera to B&H and sprung for medium format. The delicious 65:24 aspect ratio from the XPAN lends itself to triptychs on Instagram. I shot this trio of images from the iconic Hummingbird Highway in Belize (near Billy Barquedier National Park) on Kodak Portra 400 (12/30/24). The camera achieves its high resolution by exposing two frames of standard 35mm film.
Who says you have to travel far to take a great photo? Griffith Observatory is one of my favorite places on earth, and I feel like this image captures it in a unique way. I always recommend people visit about an hour before sunset to soak in the sights and maybe grab a couple of pictures. This was taken on 3/31/11.
For the newly minted ON SET gallery, here’s a shot I took for American Greetings of Rob Lowe and their hilarious e-card product, Smash Ups. Sadly, we didn’t have a conversation, but he holds a dear place in my heart for his role in one of my favorite films growing up, Tommy Boy. I also like this standing pose. We filmed these at AG headquarters in May 2025.
I love this shot of Mel Brooks in his office taken during production of Peter Bogdanovich’s final film, The Great Buster. I couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant interaction with him. He showed a genuine interest in me and the origins of my name. I told him the embarrassing truth that I was named after a character from the TV show Dallas. I also love this still of Peter “in the zone” from another day.
As a proud dog dad, I have to end this post with my best girl, Iris. On her 11th day living with me (4/3/20), she stood in the most perfect light. Most 10-week-old dogs don’t stand still for long, but I thankfully had enough time to sprint downstairs and grab my camera. Photography is all about noticing these moments and having a camera nearby, right?
