Ricorso Branding
Working with Rhea for the initial branding for Ricorso was such a pleasure. Ricorso is the evolution of the Kirk James label, and the hallmarks of their company are classic silhouettes with a modern edge for elegant and sophisticated style.
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.
Fashion Photography featuring Lara Miller designs
Lara Miller is an incredible green designer and all her hand-loomed garments are crafted in the USA from sustainable fabrics. I photographed her Spring 2012 collection at Macy’s and worked with model Valentine. Lara also has a habit of naming her designs after people she knows – so check out the “Bret necklace” here – which is fairly cool.
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.
Fashion Photography: Kirk James Collections at Dana Hotel Chicago
I loved shooting at the Dana Hotel, the space is this incredible marriage of texture and impeccable design. The fashions were the perfect counterpoint to the space.
Fashion Photography featuring suits from Zeglio and Hart Schnaffner Marx
This was one of my favorite fashion shoots for Mint Male, the suits were flown in from New York with the shoes. I was really going for this 50’s election party scandal thing, and it came together in a great way. I also like the subtle Chopin vodka branding.
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.

Fashion Photography featuring the 2009 Kirk James Collection
This shoot had one of the biggest crews I’ve ever managed, but I think the styling turned out amazing. Kirk James is one of my long term clients, I love their clothes because the models are always very happy. The taxidermy animals were just a bit fun.
Fashion Photography featuring Richard Dayhoff underwear
This was my first shoot for Mint Male Magazine and I really wanted to do something high concept. At one point I had twelve models going through hair and make-up, in this empty mid-construction condo building. I’m a big fan of manga, and I dreamed up this story about a post-apocalyptic ninja fight club. Richard’s underwear is a very high end product and it looked great on the models. The props and concept came together in an amazing way. The motorcycle was especially fun, we had to idle it into the space and it helped make the perfect cover image.
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.
Fashion Photography featuring the 2011 Kirk James spring collection
I’ve been shooting collections for Kirk James for a few years now, and we recently have moved to working with a model in the garments at my studio for their lookbook. I really like the diptychs as a design element, it’s sort of a mini fashion story.

Model Photography: Chris Hill
Chris was another of my featured models, and a really good sport. It was a cold day at the beach and he jumped right into the lake to get a great photo.
Fashion Photography featuring American Apparel underwear
Another editorial spread for Mint Male. I wanted the photos to have a retro 50’s sun-drenched look, the underwear from American Apparel and the Adidas gear finished it nicely.
