BEHIND THE SCENES ON FOREVER THE SICKEST KIDS COVER SHOOT

September 23, 2008 · 5 Comments

Recently I shot new music sensation Forever the Sickest Kids for their first cover with AP Magazine. We’ve kept this a big secret, along with a few other secrets coming up in the next few months….. Now that the issue’s release is only weeks away, and the cover shot has been released by AP’s myspace team, I can finally put up some behind the scenes fun with the boys.

FTSK consists of Jonathan, Kent, Marc, Kyle, Austin and Caleb. They are Texas natives, and probably one of the sweetest groups of guys you could meet. Their music is carefree pop rock n’roll with catchy rhythms and beats that you can’t help but dance and sing along with. Known for having the wildest and loudest crowds on this summers Warped Tour, there’s a reason, aside from their killer tunes, these guys have such a following….there hearts are pure gold! Plus they all have incredible senses of humor and kept us laughing all day, and is it any reason the girls pass out when they enter the room? These boys are gorgeous!!!! 

FTSK loves their fans with all their hearts, they are grateful for where they are, they are genuine & sweet with a wild edge. I totally love these guys and was amazed by their diligence to share the spotlight in the photos (although lets be real, Kyle is a lover of the limelight and being in front of the lens)


AP Magazine, one of the best magazines in the universe, listened to the fans on this one, and it was the enormous outcry of support that got FTSK the cover. 

The magazine comes out on October 7th. I have not seen which photos are appearing inside yet. More photos to come of FTSK in October.

Alexis Dziena…..

September 14, 2008 · 1 Comment

Before the this blog began I was hired by AP Magazine to shot the beautiful, sweet, talented and fabulous Alexis Dziena for promotion for her role in the movie Fool’s Gold. [ Read AP's article here. ] She was in the midst of filming Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist (out in October), and we were challenged with the ever changing production schedule of the film to get some one on one time with Alexis. Alexis arrived on set with her sweetheart Nick (front man for the band Lexicon), and we took some couple shots for fun when we finished AP’s setups.

I love seeing people succeed, and I think Nick & Norah’s will be another hit for Ms Dziena.


You can see the whole shoot on her fan page here or on my website here.  (Above is an outtake from our shoot.)
