Yael Cohen, Founder of Fuck Cancer for Fast Company

Fuck Cancer - pretty much says it all. I shot this video with Yael Cohen, the founder of Fuck Cancer for Fast Company’s ‘100 Most Creative People In Business’ issue. Her whole thing is that while we don’t have a ‘cure’ yet, early detection gives us our best chance at beating it. ‘No one talks about cancer until they have it’ she says. We need to change that.

Looks best if you view it in the HD version.

And some stills…

AMC President Charlie Collier

A few weeks back I shot AMC’s President Charlie Collier for The Hollywood Reporter. I’m a big fan of  the shows Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and The Walking Dead - so it was a real treat to meet Charlie and browse through some of the cool stuff he had in his office. He even had a couple life-like zombies from The Walking Dead that we were able to work into a shot.

Big thanks to Carrie at THR for the great assignment, and also to Charlie for being such a good sport.

El Paso Project

I’ve had a few jobs in the past 2 years that have taken me to El Paso, TX. It shares a border with Juarez, Mexico which currently sits at the #2 spot for ‘Most Dangerous Cities In The World’. From talking to cab drivers and other locals it wasn’t always that way. In fact it’s changed quite a bit in recent years. It used to have more of a ‘Tijuana vibe’ with people crossing the border all the time to check out the restaurants, night life, etc. Not so much any more with the violence that’s plagued that area. Ciudad Juarez has been called ‘the most violent zone in the world outside of declared war zones’, and El Paso’s close proximity to that has had a damaging effect.

It’s a unique city where the people are still warm and friendly. I really hope that one day it can get back to what it once was.

You can check out a series of my images from El Paso here.

The Portraitist

A few months back I was assigned by Barron’s to photograph Everett Raymond Kinstler, one of the best portrait painters around. He’s painted the last 7 Presidents(his portraits of Ford and Reagan are the official White House portraits) and countless other dignitaries and celebrities. We did the shoot at his studio at the National Arts Club, which is amazing. Great light and cool stuff laying around…I wanted to move in and never leave. Big thanks to Ray for his time, was really a great experience to meet him and get to hang out for a bit. We even did the old ‘portrait of you taking a portrait of me’ at the end.

Monkey Business

We took our 4 year old daughter Emma to the zoo yesterday. When we got to the monkey section they were very curious and even seemed like they were posing for their portraits.monkey_blog01monkey_blog031monkey_blog02

But then I guess they thought it was a different type of shoot. Crazy monkeys…
