One of my recent shoots a few weeks ago has been released so I can blog it. I have to say it's been one of my favorite lifestyle shoots thus far. My good friend Kyle Barnes introduced me to the owner of Aviator Nation, a rad California clothing line. Poppy colors fashion and board sport lifestyle make for some fun images.
Check it.

Great new work! I would love to see an article about how you direct a shoot. You always seem to have a great connection with your models. Thats one of the intangible elements of photography you seem to understand. I think it really sets your photography apart.

Nick these are awesome!! Love the story, and the images are each so striking. Do you do a shoot like that all in one day, or does it take place over a couple of days?

Awesome shoot man! Love the images!

Your lighting is absolutely spot on, and captures the whimsical, carefree spirit of the shoot perfectly - what a wonderful series - like a ray of sunshine as I look outside at the snow piling up here in the east :-)

Great story Nick! The lighting, models, and the way you capture the story are amazing! Like Michelle asked, did you do this shoot over a couple of days or did it take place all in one day?

Sick shoots Nick! The lighting is crisp and the images are oh so fresh.

Definitely one of my favorite shoots of yours. Ever image is a brand extension ... and somehow you manage to make them artwork, too. noice.

came out awesome...bummed I missed it.
They ought to be really pumped Nick. My wife owns a boutique and you would be amazed at how much rubbish comes our way in the way of bad photography...you instantly toss the catalog in trash when the photos are rubbish.
Well done, you have done them well.

If you are in not good state and have got no money to move out from that, you would require to take the business loans. Because it will help you unquestionably. I take small business loan every time I need and feel myself good because of it.

I love the aviator sunglasses. They're perfect for any outfit. It looks good on my idol Lindsay Lohan!

"In fact there was inflation—asset-price inflation, the assets being houses and common stock, and at times oil and other commodities.
Manipulation of commodities prices? See Mr. Buffett and silver. A bit more involved than interest rates and money supply, no?"

Hear, hear. In fact I think I'll go join Entropia Universe, set up an office and charge him for the therapy. The phrase "more money than sense" springs to mind.
