Ring Out The Old, Ring In The New

So as one can tell by my last post, this has been a hecka year for moi. HOWEVER there was another issue lurking in the background that you haven't known about and that is it was time for me to change my representation. I am greatly indebted to my first rep for being the one to take that first chance on me. I've learned a lot about the 'biz and about myself.

With that, I am proud to announce that I am now represented by Ford Artists out of their San Francisco office. As many of you know, I work between SF and LA so this will allow me to more fully be of service to my clients in both cities. HOORAY!

In short, 2008 should be a Rockin' year and I hope you're all there to share it with me. Tell your friends too! It's gonna be quite the hootenanny!

So what work have I been doing? Well, despite all the drama, quite a bit actually;

* I've shot editorials for Renew, Vision and Real Groove magazines.

* Mucho local commercials and corporate industrials.

* More delicious beauty editorials from Teen. Here's the latest that was actually a story focusing on hair rather than makeup. Images © N. Horne; Hair was done by the outrageously talented Eric Sebbag of the Cloutier Agency;

Happy Holidays to all and Best Wishes for a Prosperous New Year!

Welcome - part deux

Let's try this again.

Hello! And welcome to my Blog. I had a Blog before, but it was boring, I didn't keep it updated, etc. Let's hope I do a better job of keeping this going this time! :)

To begin, I'll be posting a "Greatest Hits" of what all has happened in the last 12 or so months. Thanks for visiting and reading! :)

Rollin' and Tumblin'

I had a couple of jobs of note for the fact that I got to travel to some beautiful spots to do them. The first was a job in Portland for HGTV's "My House is Worth What". I don't have any behind the scenes shots of that, but Portland is a gorgeous spot and I fell in love...

I went across the bridge into Washington State for no reason other than I could...

Portland is - needless to say - significantly far North so it stays light FOREVER in the Spring/Summer (or dark forever in Fall/Winter). Being from SoCal I wasn't used to that. I never knew what time it was! This was 11pm

and then in the Spring I travelled to Sedona, AZ where I shot a multi-page fashion editorial for an international fashion/lifestyle magazine based out of Canada. The editorial was featured in the upcoming Summer Fashion issue. Here's some BTS of the fab crew I worked with;

I'm very proud of these to say the least! :D
