Here are some of the images being used for the new Pilatesmith website and for their marketing collateral. Please visit their website to see the images in action and to learn more about what they’re about.
I uploaded a video and several stills to my Instagram account featuring key moments from my first solo-show in NYC. A special heartfelt thank you to everyone that attended that evening. It was an amazing experience to share this evening with old and new friends as well as with the City of New York, especially given the unique nature of this high visibility gallery on the High Line Park Walkway. Last but not least, a big heartfelt Thank You to XPOSED gallery, my first solo show, which was a smashing success!
It’s with great honor and joy to announce that I was invited by XPOSED Gallery in NYC to do a solo show at their beautiful space located in High Line Park. My show will be on display for all to see from October 3rd through the 17th (7 PM - 10 PM nightly).
I’ll be showing my new short-film featuring stylized visuals of free form dancers along with thought provoking messages to uplift viewers as they are passing by.
It feels so good to be doing what I love!

It was a joy working with Sergio Carbajal and his clients on a recent beach photo shoot. Even though the ocean water and the gusty winds were icy cold! We managed to create many powerful images. I had a blast doing this shoot! Visit the Photography | Advertising section to see the high-resolution images.
I recently uploaded my old 3D Animation reels online as an homage to my career as a digital artist. I feel very fortunate for the opportunity to work with many amazingly talented artists over the years on numerous TV Commercials, IMAX Films and Feature Films.
I had a blast working as a still photographer on this shoot located up in Big Bear, California. The shoot was for a cross promotional — two minute TV commercial featuring ESPN SportsCenter and Ford. We were fortunate to enjoy the first snowfall of the season during filming. I've included the final commercial down below and some stills for your enjoyment.
This past weekend I traveled to north east of Las Vegas to attend the second annual RISE Festival. It was an amazing experience. Back in 2007 I saw a film about the annual Lantern Festival in Thailand — after watching the film, I knew that it was something that I'd love to do one day. Here's a brief video and a handful of photos from the festival. Enjoy! #RISEfestival
The multi-talented spiritual teacher Patille Kebabjian hired me to envision and create a captivating image / postcard design to promote her new series of three powerful workshops specifically for teenage girls. The number three became a driving design element in the image design—everything from the three-sided triangle... to three natural elements: earth, water, air as well as the three spirits. With three as a design element — it becomes a metaphor for the stages of transformation, hence "self-work is a process not an event."
The downward pointing triangle is sometimes referred to as the chalice. It is the symbol of water (as it flows downward), the grace of heaven, and the womb. and it is one of the most ancient symbols of female divinity.

Back in '91 after I listened to Lenny Kravitz's album, "Mama Said"... I was hooked and have been a loyal fan ever since. I knew that one day I'd like to see Lenny live in concert. Tonight—it happened and up-close! I'm amped that I captured several great shots—all taken with my iPhone 6—I've included them here for your viewing pleasure. If you get a chance to see him live—do it! Thank you Lenny for your magic and an incredible show!
JustFab reached out to me to film and edit a series of interviews of their executive leadership team members for two in-house videos. I had a blast collaborating with the JustFab team while creating these videos, which were sent out to JustFab's 2,000+ employees worldwide. Here are some stills from the videos.
The wonderful people at de Grisogono and the March To The Top Foundation hired us to film and edit their high-profile fundraiser in Beverly Hills.
