Dolly Parton has sold 174 million albums worldwide. She is releasing her 83rd album this year. I went to Nashville for the shoot, but Dolly was sick. We rescheduled in London. I surely did a lot of flying for this picture, but I got to meet Dolly.
I shot Louis CK at Milk Studios in a set built manhole, then relocated the image to Cortland Alley. The rat is taxidermy, Louis CK did not want her near him, but eventually warmed up to her and ultimately started petting her.
Governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina for the New York Times Magazine. My first shoot with her was in a run-down-vacant-wood-paneled-strip-mall-office-turned-campaign-headquarters. This time we shot in her beautiful offices in the Capitol building in Columbia.
Seth Green is a busy man. Most know him as an actor, but he is voice actor and television producer as well, writes comics, hosts wresting matches and much more. In my shoot I worked with mirrors to multiply him as a metaphor to his many roles and his interest in Sci-Fi and comics.
Ten o'clock live is a new show on Channel 4 hosted by some of Britain's funniest comedians, David Mitchell, Jimmy Carr, Charlie Brooker and Lauren Laverne, who comment on the latest news in a format that is itself a spoof of how the news is presented on television.
I went to a beauty pageant in Texas. It was a very interesting day, experiencing the efforts that go into the making of a beauty queen. I shot throughout the day. After the crowning I photographed the winners: The money shots are my money shots.
This is a story for ESPN about how the Badgers overturned many of college football's core beliefs. It was shot in a cold hallway of their stadium in Madison. I take the prop styling credit.
This is actor Josh Radnor of "How I met your mother" turned writer/director of a new film called "HappyThankYouMorePlease", shot at 5th and Sunset in LA.
I did the ads and publicity for a new show called "Mad Love" on CBS with Jason Biggs, Sarah Chalke, Tyler Labine and Judy Greer, shot at Smashbox in Culver City.
I went to the California desert to meet the Mojave Vipers, a local chapter of the Young Marines. The Young Marines is a youth education and service program for boys and girls, ages 8 through completion of high school. The Young Marines promotes the mental, moral, and physical development of its members. The program focuses on character building, leadership, and promotes a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.
After the "shoot" I had a little fun shooting myself, M4s, M16s, pistols, shotguns, you name it.
