Character Portraits - Phil
So much of creativity is just trying new things with new people and looking for the things that light you up. Whether you are shooting videos or portraits, collaboration and trust are key when you want to create photos that make you feel something. Shooting with Phil is so much fun and he is such a great collaborator, our portrait explorations ranged from conceptual to classical, he was an inspiring subject and these are still some of the photos I’ve shot.
Without further ado, here is my session with Phil!
Creating My First Short Film: CIALT
What started as a “small” personal project eventually grew into a short film with over 30 volunteers, 5 Actors, A drone, 4 shoot days, Key Art designed by a 4-time Emmy-winning art director, and a score composed by an award-winning composer. So much for keeping it simple!
It all started on Threads in the sweltering heat of the Madrid summer when I answered a post from Screenwriter Sophie von Rheden looking to connect with directors and filmmakers in Madrid…

Fashion and Editorial Portraits In Madrid with Model - Nandi
A great model can bring so much to a photoshoot, and working with Nandi was an amazing day to experiment and explore creative ideas together. We split our day together into two parts: a creative portrait session in the studio and an outdoor editorial session at Matadero in Madrid.
NEW Music Video Launch: “Toxicidad” by The FO’s
I'm incredibly excited to share the launch of the newest music video by The FO’s! There is no better way to start the new year than with a busy couple of weeks and the launch of a new music video: "Toxicidad." This was a dream assignment -- They basically gave me the keys to the studio and let us play with lights!
The best challenge was the harsh reality of the lyrics with an impossibly catchy song that perfectly captures the merry-go-round of toxic relationships and cycles of abuse while trying to find your own voice.
Portrait Experiments In Silhouette
That obsession was how powerful a silhouette can be in a photo. I was enamored with the idea that it could be aesthetically, beautiful, but also very personal. It struck me that you could identify these individuals quickly with nothing but their silhouette if you knew them, and it really sparked the idea of storytelling within portraiture, and playing with absence, and of course, shadow, because if you know me, you know, I love a good dark shadow.
Studio Portraits in Madrid - Nandi
A great model can bring so much to a photoshoot, and working with Nandi was an amazing day to experiment and explore creative ideas together. We split our day together into two parts: Outdoor Editorial at Matadero in Madrid and this session in the studio.
