RECAP: Shimmering Lights
I have been working with Beverly Hills Lifestyle Magazine for the past few months and one of my favorite things about shooting content for them is working with art director Jamie Breuer. It was actually Jamie that got me connected to shooting for BHL magazine, and to date he is one of my favorite art directors to work with. Not only do we get along aesthetically, but our personalities vibe well with each other which makes for a very stress free creative environment. This particular editorial was for BHL's winter 2011 issue, which is normally their holiday issue. As usual, the conversation between Jamie and myself began with the crew he wanted to put together for the job. Since he and I frequently work with the same artists, the work environment becomes very comfortable and familiar. Stylist Holly Copeland (whom you may remember styled the BHL shoot we did in Joshua Tree as well as the Cote De Pablo shoot) came back on board, along with set stylist Ninaki Priddy, makeup artist Mathias Alan, and hairstylist Mitzi Gip.

The only thing about shooting editorial that I don't like is having to wait for the issue release before being able to share the images, especially when I'm as excited about a shoot as this editorial feature
Read MoreRECAP: Sandy Segerstrom
While I enjoy being able to photograph Hollywood and music celebrities, many times I also photograph a different kind of celebrity. While they may not be in the media spotlight or up on the big screen or blasting through the radio, they are equally important people who are behind some of the more well-known companies, charities, and organizations that we interact with every day. I also find them to be just as interesting as their more famous counterparts. I must admit, when Newport Beach Magazine contacted me to photograph Sandy Segerstrom, I had no idea who she was. The last name,...
