“..IT WAS TO BLUR THE LINES BETWEEN
PHOTOGRAPHY AND ILLUSTRATION. I
WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE A DOUBLE TAKE
WHETHER OR NOT IT’S A REAL PERSON
OR A DRAWING.”

just to mingle about. I’m there as a
fan more often than not.
While photography is all about the
art, people often like to know what
gear you take on a typical shoot to
create your images. Tell us about
that.
I switch between a Canon 5D Mark
3 or a 1D-X depending on the situation. But over and above the camera
gear, I always carry my initial set of
eight strobes to most shoots. It could
add up if the concept for the shoot
calls for it.
How do you get your style of photography, is it a natural evolution
that comes over time or is it something you’ve set out to create?
I would consider it to be both. As
much as you’d want it to happen naturally, you also have to set a direction to where you want to take you
craft. I wanted to make our images
come into full circle with the original
medium where all these characters
originated. With that in mind, it was
to blur the lines between photography and illustration. I want people to
have a double take whether or not
it’s a real person or a drawing. That
objective enabled me to learn lighting techniques in conjunction with
collaboration from other industry
professionals to make it happen.
