A few takes from a recent portrait/ lifestyle shoot with real estate guru and fellow Denver native, Ryan Dykstra. It was fun (and rare) connecting with a local who grew up in the same South Denver stomping grounds as myself.
Always fun to see recent work in print locally. Even better to view it from a rooftop 2 blocks away.
Keep a lookout for a few pieces from a recent campaign with Ortho Colorado and the fine gentlemen at FJG Advertising in the latest issue of 5280 Magazine and arbitrary roadsides throughout Denver.
Artist, friend, mentor, and brother from another mother, Quang Ho and his family have had a huge influence on my life and artistic path from a young age.
Amidst a holiday dinner and with the aid of a quality single barrel scotch I was able to convince him to step outside and paint with a flashlight for a portrait idea I had in mind for him.
I ran these exposures manually from around 20 seconds to a minute long, depending on the duration needing to complete the light painting. Incredible watching him blindly scribe the area with a basic flashlight to create these forms almost effortlessly.
Good fun and quite an honor collaborating with the humble master.
