Found some epic shoot locations out near Wharton, TX. Anyone want to make a great set, let me know. I'm free to shoot Tues, Weds, and Friday this week if you want to schedule a time. My fan page on FB = https://www.facebook.com/blacksmithphotos Lets shoot and get front page!

I've been tooling around with the warrior concept for quite a while now. So when I finally left Japan and arrived in San Diego, I had to get in touch with a great friend of mine who happens to be a make up artist. Jane is a friend of an ex girlfriend who I introduced to her husband back in 2007. She is a make up artist and hair dresser working in LA, I contacted her and we collaborated an this idea. I felt a bit strange going into make up shops, and buying costume jewelry. We created quite a few custom pieces that went perfectly with the concept, but ended up leaving them behind because I wanted to go drinking the night prior. Gotta love LA right? The pièce de résistance was the make up and the headdress which was custom made by Jane. It was amazing in the sunlight. I hope you guys enjoy this project of mine, I hope to revisit it again later this year. This was shot in SoCal in Cabazon, CA.

Knocking out a really exciting photo shoot this weekend in Cabazon. I've always wanted to use the windmills in a shoot. Shot these to show the model, and make up artist the location. (manly squeal) So fucking pumped! Will drop the photos when I'm done with them.

I've been working on this idea all day. Just can't seem to get it right in photoshop. The fabric won't blend together seamlessly, and I can't get it to flow off her foot naturally. The goal of photoshop is to make people wonder if it's photoshopped or not. To look natural. I'll come back to it tomorrow with a fresh pair of eyes. Any suggestions?

Lee and I went out to shoot this set a few years back. It never got off the ground, so I figured I post a few here for a throwback. Unfortunately I cannot put them in a particular order. Wish we could do it again.
