Celebrity Portraits
Press Kit for Letta
Letta is a singer/songwriter that flew to Chicago to work with me on her first album. We decided on a bohemian chic look for her branding, and used the Catalyst Ranch as our location. I was fortunate to book an amazing crew for this production, and my stylist Beth Berlin, was able to pull a huge collection of clothes and accessories for Letta to try.
Celebrity Portraits: Mondo Guerra
Mondo Guerra was the runner-up on the 2010 season of Project Runway and his creativity is really astounding. Working with him was a complete blast. And I was really inspired by our collaboration to do some design work on his portrait. To see photos of his fashions from our shoot click here.
Celebrity Portraits: Hannah Aitchison
Hannah was a cast member for three seasons on “LA Ink“, and she’s an incredible artist. She also does all my ink personally- we were really going for some classic pin-up inspired photographs. I built the heart in my studio and screen-printed the flowers onto it, and the lights are just old christmas lights.
Celebrity Portraits: Lady Starlight
Lady Starlight is Lady Gaga’s DJ. She was in Chicago spinning at Lolopolooza and we decided to do a cover and feature on her. She has a very cool (Joan Jett) vibe, and her music set is kind of classic hard rock.
Celebrity Portraits: Matt Alber
Matt is an incredible singer/songwriter, I especially like the photos of him with the guitar, they have this “traveling man” vibe that I really think suits him.
Celebrity Portraits: Ronnie Kroell
Ronnie was a contestant on a Bravo show called “I want to be a supermodel”. The feature we did on him was inspired by the movie “A Single Man” and I was really going for this underlying tension between the models. There’s never a moment when they’re looking face to face. The fashions were provided by Cram and Goorin Brothers.
Celebrity Portraits: Scott Herman
Scott is starting his own fitness empire. His fitness videos are crazy popular on youtube, and he was a cast-mate on the Real World: Brooklyn. These photos were originally shot for the November 2010 Mini Mint and I was going for a retro underwear ad look. I’m especially happy about the shot with the Calvin Klein underwear.
