This job was a prime example of getting hired to do what you do. I was super stoked to work with Art Directors Luis Aguilera (check out his sites: http://www.dadadroids.com/ & http://defithenorm.com/ ) and Jamie Tao from Miami on a one day shoot in LA. Obviously you can see that this job was right up my alley. Again, with my LA crew we had a ton of fun on set.
Here are some behind the scenes shots and a vid as well as some outtakes from the shoot.
A little BTS vid by my lovely producer Jewely Bennett at Porkchop Productions:

And here's the photo that came from that:

Really cool series of photos. Great use of natural light (I especially dig the backlit ones) and the processing fits the look really well. Thanks for sharing these!

I do not think that every single student in whole world has got a passion of sample essay composing! Nevertheless, people that do not like writing have to take a support of distinguished paper writing service and enjoy a result.

I received 1 st home loans when I was very young and it aided my business a lot. Nevertheless, I require the student loan also.
