Nils Winter '09-'10 Ad Campaign

Last week I was hired by Nils for a hair and makeup job up in Big Bear, California. It was a lifestlye shoot to advertise their new 2009-2010 clothing line. Kat Borchart ran the show as she led us all over Big Bear Mountain in the slushy snow in 70 degree weather. The makeup was natural with rosy cheeks and berry stained lips. When we shot the resort wear, I smoked out the eyes and darkened the lips for a more seductive and sophisticated look. Our crew of 8 stayed in a 3-story lake front cabin on Lake Arrowhead. We were definitely not rouging it!

ATP World Tour Campaign 2009

The campaign includes TV spots, billboards, online banners, virals, merchandise, fan giveaways and PR stunts.

Last week I had a chance to be apart of the new multimillion dollar campaign for the ATP World Tour featuring all of the top players like Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and James Blake. The purpose for the shoot was to showcase the sport’s core values as a one-on-one gladiatorial battle of world class athletes, full of intensity and passion. My job was to make that competitive intensity more realistic, so I smothered each player with baby oil, spayed their whole body with water and finished up with a touch of gloss on their lips. The shoot was photographed by Getty Images sports and celebrity photographer Clive Brunskill.

Beverly Hills 213 Magazine Cover Shoot with Veronica Kay Baker

On March 3, 2009 photographer Joe Scarnici, stylist Jim Olarte and I were hired to shoot the cover of Beverly Hills’ 213 Magazine, Health and Beauty Issue. We shot my good friend, pro surfer and model Veronica Kay Baker at my home in Laguna Beach. The makeup was glowing and fresh and the hair was messy yet structured, inspired by a “modern day active woman who still takes the time to look her best.” Veronica’s background with Roxy made it an effortless shoot filled with good laughs and some awesome images!
