So right after we moved to Hollywood a few weeks ago I decided I needed another project to break up the insanity of self employment and the eternal search for my next meal ticket...... I came up with a series of Helmut Newton inspired shoots and a video installation. Now don't be confused with the Helmut Newton reference. He was a fantastic photographer....no question don't get me wrong....BUT this is only an inspired shoot.....I love the B/W, high contrast, fashion mixed with nudity. So I decided to start my own series. I actually started a few months back with a less defined vision and created some fantastic images....but I felt I needed to start over and see what I could create.
So I shot the first model at the new place in Hollywood out in the hallway of my new apartment and in the public laundry room...it was awesome! And of course I made the first of probably six video clips that will all be combined at the end. Then I shot a fantastic couple...male and female model at their place in Hollywood. I LOVE the results! Then we moved on to a couple of female models in my kitchen and finally I just shot a fabulous model at her house in Orange county. So far the results are out of this world! I'm super excited about them!
In the end I hope to have a gallery showing downtown LA and a video installation as well. So things are exciting for sure! I will most likely shoot 2 more of these in the series. I have a dancer that I am shooting and filming in an empty house next week. Should be great! She is an amazing dancer, so I should get some really good stuff! So below are a couple of samples of the beginning of this project.......the very beginning....not the recent reincarnation of the project.....did that make sense? I hope not.... those are yet to be revealed......soon
