Route 66

It's about the car, the girl and the road.

It's about the car, the girl and the road. All distractions we need. The open road gives us the freedom to stretch our wings and refresh. The car gives us the power we need to travel through miles and miles of thoughts. And the girl, the girl. Music reminds you of her, glimpses of her smile in your peripheral. She's the angel and the devil on your shoulder on an adventure we all need to take. Take a deep breath, this is what life is about.

Editorial - SOL

\ˈsäl\

Light and dark. Polar opposites that require many shades of bending and blending to reach either end of the spectrum. The day night cycle of Sol (our sun) follows this practice. Like the rising and setting of a sun, our lives and personalities find themselves in the same such dance. Between light and dark, the Soul finds itself. We transform as we grow, and every new experience either drives us closer to light or dark. Some need to experience true darkness before they realize the importance of the light. Others shine brightly to lead the way for others. What side do you find yourself on?

Mock Cover: Tristan Shire

I recently was commissioned by Tristan Shire to build his head shot portfolio. We built many different persona’s; rugged adventure, Billionaire/FBI agent, the friend, the cop and few more. Here’s one of the Billionaire shots. I then went ahead and designed a mock cover to see how the image would look. Let me know what you think of the end result.

I will be posting more of the images from this session soon.
