Tina Parol
May 28, 2009
Here are some of my photographs from round one with Tina Parol from Universal Motown Records.
I shot her new single cover (below) & you can see the rest of them everywhere including her new t-shirts and other merch. Round two of our shoot (not pictured here) was finished last night and passed to her label this morning, as soon as I have permission to show them and what they are for – I surely will.
Tina is amazing – her voice.. her spirit .. her everything. I am so excited to watch her career skyrocket to super stardom. Her song writing is inspirational and gets your booty shaking, her music is addictive as is her personality; she’s smart, she’s sexy, she’s down to earth, she’s fierce and shes going to be the next hot thing.
Check out behind the scenes and more info about our shoot here.

**I have stopped updating my website with new work since my new and amazing website is almost complete, and everything is sized differently (thank you Bo!!!) Can’t wait to show all the new work & launch the new site.

Tina Parol & Universal Motown Records
March 22, 2009
I had the opportunity to shoot one of the hottest new vocalists on the scene right now for her new single & publicity photos for Universal Motown Records. Tina Parol is young, fresh, fabulous, HOT, and smart beyond her years. She has already written songs for Brittany Spears (new Circus album), Timbaland, Danga, done backing vocals on other radio cuts, and now she paves the way for her new fresh sound soon to take over the airwaves….did I mention she just turned 21 a few weeks ago? I absolutely love her, and I think her first album will go double platinum quickly. Her whole team is made up of some of the best people in the industry & I think if ‘perfect opportunity’ had a baby… it would be Tina.
If my brains thoughts looked like a sketch pad, there would be a heart around the words Universal Motown Records – everyone that works with them that I’ve met is pretty much perfect. This time I got to work with the charismatic and sensational Tracy Zamot. There will be more to come as images get finalized and the shoot evolves, welcome to phase one.
The Vampire Diaries Hits Shelves
March 16, 2009
Here’s my first cover for the new Vampire Diaries trilogy by author L.J. Smith. The Vampire Diaries, The Return: Nightfall, is said to be a long overdue continuation to the original novels but well worth the wait. Already on the NY Times Bestsellers List, its no wonder that the rumors are flying that the WB will be making this series into a television show starting next fall. Those rumors have been confirmed by Perez Hilton (so it must be true 
) + the trailers have already started leaking all over the internet, the publishers have confirmed the rumors of the making of a pilot to air in September.
Model: Chelsea Hair & MUA: Roshar Art Director: David Caplan Graphic Designer: Jennifer Heuer Client: HarperCollins Publishers
Book Two is already finalized and and waiting for release, and book three has already been shot and will be finalized soon. Book two has my fabulous friend Pi on the cover, you might recognize him from last years Gillette commercials. He is also in another fashion spread & cover I shot hitting news stands in Mexico this April. The third cover is a gorgeous model who is just as captivating in person as they are on film.
Check out behind the scenes fun here.
Authors and Actresses

TASHA ALEXANDER
I have had the pleasure of shooting new publicity photos for world renowned author, Tasha Alexander. If you are of the few that haven’t read her books yet, her book; Elizabeth: The Golden Age was a very popular movie last year starring Cate Blanchett. Tasha is an incredible person, she exudes positivity, optimism and happiness. We had a great time on set, she is absolutely gorgeous and a total natural in front of the lens. I’m really excited to have been chosen to shoot her. Finished shot coming soon!

GINGER KROLL
I also just shot a new run of publicity photos for actress Ginger Kroll. You can see her in the Notorious B.I.G., soon to be released subHysteria & Secrets. This blond bombshell has an amazing spirit, a great laugh, and is beyond beautiful. Final shots coming soon!
