Yuko Takahashi for Canon

Many of you are familiar with Yuko Takahashi's work in countless shoots with me like the Susana Monaco Campaigns and dozens of shoots on my website.  She even did the makeup in yesterday's blog post for the new teaser shot.  Of course, Yuko works on hundreds of cool projects.  Recently, she brought me in on one of hers.

Canon Cameras are a staple in my studio.  We have the 5D Mark III, the Mark II, the 1DS Mark III, and even a couple of Canon Rebels and a G12 for fun.  So it was a pleasure when Yuko asked me to help her on set while Canon featured Yuko for huge TV commercial campaign in Asia.  Produced by TK Digital, the commercial follows Yuko doing makeup on set and using the new Canon S110. 

Now you can't really see me in the commercial, though I think Spencer Kohn and I are blurred in the background at one point.  Though I think it just might be my butt!  You do get a beautiful glimpse of my Broncolor Para 88.  Yuko is amazing in it.  Of course I can not find a direct link to the video, but there is a link and then you need to navigate by clicking an arrow at the bottom toward the right until you see Yuko.  Here is a screen shot of what you are looking for and then click "Special Movie".  Here is the link to when you have to click the arrow.


Here are some screen shots from the video.  Yuko is clearly a star.  It is all in Japanese, but if you ask me her acting is awesome.   You also see stylist Lisa Jarvis.

Here is a behind the scenes photo with Yuko, Lisa, and Damian Monzillo styling the model's hair.

You can Follow Yuko on Facebook and Twitter.
Thanks!

The New Bubbles Shoot Preview - Susana Monaco

Black Friday brings out the best in all of us.  Or at least in this case, as Susana Monaco rolled out a teaser shot from our new photo series to promote 30% off savings on some clothing on the website, http://susanamonaco.com.  Maybe don’t stand in line at a big chain store this year and buy some cool stuff from a cool company?

I can’t wait to release the whole shoot.  I am really excited about this one.  I am calling it my new bubbles shoot. You can see why.  We had the gorgeous and just super fun to work with Celia Becker from Muse Model Management, makeup by Yuko Takahashi, and hair by Wesley O’Meara of the Wall Group.  We had help from the Bubble Man Stephen Duncan.

Shot on Canon 5D Mark III with an 85mm 1.2Lens and the studio lighting is with the Broncolor Scoro.

Thanks!

Melanie Iglesias - Sports Illustrated's 10 Best Videos of Summer

Totally random, but a little birdie on Twitter told me that my Hula Hoop video of Melanie Iglesias is listed as a top 10 video of the summer by Sports Illustrated.  Head over to the feature on SI.com.  The fun video of Melanie currently has 700,000 hits on Youtube.  Of course, Mel and I have worked together on dozens of cool projects as she starred in my Flipbook series.  Here is a link to all things Melanie on this blog!


Be sure to catch Melanie on Guy Code every Tuesday at 11pm on MTV2!

Vogue india - Chef Aliya LeeKong

It was such a busy last couple months that I almost missed my photo in Vogue India!  It is for a feature on an amazing New York Chef, Aliya LeeKong.  She is the chef and culinary creative director at Junoon; a Michelin starred restaurant serving haute Indian cuisine.  I took this portrait of Aliya in Soho.  And my only regret is I should have planned an idea where she was making some of that amazing food!!  Boy, did I miss out.  You can follow her on her website, Facebook Page and Twitter.

Of course, this isn't my first shoot with one of the Vogues.  You can see my shots with Fluvia Lacerda and DJ Kiss for different features on Italian Vogue.com.

Thanks!
