Saba

I was lucky enough to creative direct (and photograph!) a set of promotional photographs for Los Angeles-based musician Saba. Check out her music on MySpace!

Barcelona, Absolutes 2009 Release

I originally did the packaging and photography for Barcelona’s 2007 release of Absolutes—seen here—and was happy to hear Universal Motown wanted to re-release their record and feature the original photo I shot.

Barcelona, Absolutes CD

I had such a great time making this. I even included photographs shot in Charlotte, NC! This record was designed and printed to have substance, weight and an ethereal feel.

I used some great uncoated paper and also did a little something special with the disc to make it look foggy! Additionally, I created a custom identity for them and designed their website.

Slushai

This has to be one of my favorite projects ever. In addition to being the still photographer, I designed the movie’s site as well as elements you see in the film.I had lots of fun in processing these, including lighting candles, adding a little fog in a couple shots, and giving the photos their beautiful tone.

Slushai Site

Set in the future, Slushai (meaning “listen”) is a beautiful short film about a man stuck in a police state. He slowly begins to realize what life has become for him and decides to overcome.

I designed and built the site to meet a few goals. One was to give a more theatrical experience when watching the trailer, so I provided a custom Flash video player to stream the video from their site that also dimmed the lights while you watched.

Another was to have a new twist on the “futuristic low-fi” feel. I used a few techniques to effect the images and used lots of nice textures to flesh out everything.

I was also responsible for the promotional photography and designing other elements in this film.

Telephone Line Echoes

This was a very fun adventure in processing and technique. It’s just a few degrees shy of a 360º panorama! One fun thing about this photo: that sky wasn’t added after the shot. Page ahead for more views.

Endy, NC

Shot in Endy, NC, these were more experiments with color and processing. I wanted to share the before and afters with you here.

Brooks Wood Band EP

With this record, we wanted to show love growing in unlikely places.I was responsible for the creative direction, photography and design of this. I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Chinatown, CA

A series of photographs I took in Chinatown, CA. It’s full of unexpected and fun things, and I felt I should document it accordingly.With that, I took to Photoshop and had a great time experimenting with and treating these photographs.

Cliff

A wonderful scene in Big Sur, CA.
