Jersey Shore

Raising Hope season 3

I shot the key art for another season of Raising Hope. I also shot video of the swing set up and hope to be able to show that soon.

Greenbay Packers

I went to the Lambeau field again, this time to shoot Aaron Rodgers and some of his team members for the cover of ESPN.

Kamau Bell is totally biased

and he is totally funny, and totally nice! I shot the poster and publicity material for FX at the taping of the show in Brooklyn.

XX

The XX shot for Q magazine at Terminal 5 in New York. I had full access shooting during sound check in the afternoon, then shortly after shot these images in the middle of the venue, with a mix of flash and existing stage lights.

Drinkers

I spent a day on the Vegas strip with a 400mm lens.

The Darkness

The Darkness is back! I last shot them 8 years ago. We shot in the French Quarter a few hours before their show in New Orleans. I hired a horse drawn carriage because I thought it suits them. We used the carriage to get around also. I rented instruments from a local music store, but ended up asking jazz musicians on the street also to lend us their instruments. Some of the musicians assumed the roles of traffic coordinators.

Empire

Empire is a new show on Broadway produced by Spiegelworld. I shot the performers in and around the tent on 45 th street.

NBC's Do No Harm

I shot the key art for NBC's new drama "Do No Harm" with Steven Pasquale (of "Rescue Me"). He plays a doctor with a dangerous alter ego. Steven had little time in between filming on location in Philadelphia. The main poster image was shot in camera, the image on his hands was shot just minutes earlier, then fed to a projector to do the double image illustrating the character's split personality.

Penn's new book

Penn continues his atheist mission with a new book published by Penguin. His driver and bodyguard was art directing. We had a fun low key day at Smashbox in LA.

Marlins on Showtime

Ozzie Guillen and 6 of his best players of the Miami Marlins shot at the new Marlins stadium in sharp suits for the poster of Showtime's second season of The Franchise. That was a long sentence.

Mastercard

The guy under the sheets

Chris Elliott for his new book cover, published by Penguin

Sir Mick Fleetwood

I had great fun spending a day with Mick Fleetwood at one of his houses on Maui, high up on the slopes of the volcano.

The FIrst Lady of Kawanzaa Cake

There is a lot of buzz around Sandra Lee. Many colorful ingredients went into her dishes and into my shots.

David Cross

I got to meet Tobias Funke, sort of. It was hard shake the perception.

Bruno Mars

This is Bruno Mars on the cover of Playboy's Music issue with April playmate Raquel Pomplun. I think I nicked that pose from an old Helmut Newton photograph.

Ron Swanson

Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson on Parks and Recreation) is an enthusiast (and semi professional) woodworker.

music on the go

To illustrate an article in the New York Times Sunday magazine about new apps that enable people to play instruments on their i pad or i phone on the go, we gathered some 50 musicians one Sunday morning at Astor Place. The result was loud.

Dance Moms

New poster for the reality show "Dance Moms" shot in Pittsburgh with BPG.

Sir James Dyson

Sir James Dyson, the inventor of Dyson vacuums, photographed for Wired UK at the Dyson headquarters in Malmesbury, England. His company is announcing a new product: an electric space heater.

Mark Murphy, President and CEO of the Green Bay Packers, doing the Lambeau Leap, celebrated by packers fans who are the shareholders of the team.
