Sammy Salami

2009-06-16T23:37:00.004-04:00

Finally found some time to start posting again so I'll try and put some new stuff up this week! For now, here are some fun shots I took today of Sammy Salami and her owner Christina (my make-up artist extraordinaire) on a shoot.

Performer Holly Dunn

2009-05-11T20:48:00.003-04:00

This Sunday, I photographed Holly Dunn, a sweet and talented theatre actress and singer. Worked with Christina Natale, my fave make-up artist, and Mark Bustos, who does AMAZING hair.. as you can see below.

Comedian Julie Goldman

2009-05-11T18:31:00.005-04:00

Julie Goldman is a comic and one of the stars of the Big Gay Sketch Show on MTV Networks channel, LOGO. Here are some shots I took of her on her final day in her apartment in Brooklyn before moving to L.A. for Autostraddle.

Full interview.

(side note: Blogger seems to be messing with the images a bit today, a little fuzzy and whatnot, so bear with me. If you'd like to use them with credit on another site, please email me and I can send decent files!)

The Sounds

2009-05-01T00:08:00.003-04:00

In the downstairs of Santos Party House, a couple of skinny stylists are grooming new wave band, The Sounds. They are running late and we have about 3 minutes (which is sometimes as too normal for band shoots). There is no time for lights and adjustments, but luckily I've done this before and there are plenty of cool looking spaces to shoot a few on the fly. Then after, I settle in to listen to their interviews.

The Sounds are made up of five members, three of which are the songwriters and pictured below, are set to release their third album, Crossing The Rubicon this June.

Below is lead singer, Maja, and band mates Felix and Jesper, who are all songwriters and musicians.

The Cliks

2009-04-14T15:58:00.000-04:00

The Cliks are ready to release their new album Dirty King on June 23rd of this year. Sitting crammed into the humid basement of Mercury Lounge in Manhattan's Lower East, Canadian band mates Lucas Silveira (vocalist/guitarist), Jen Benton (bass), and Morgan Doctor (drums) talked about touring, the buzz around Dirty King, and Canada (of which they are very proud). I had photographed Lucas once before with Cyndi Lauper before last year's True Colors Tour, so you can imagine my surprise when Cyndi showed up to the show and even got on stage to sing.

The Presets, La Roux, and Larry Tee

2009-04-06T21:48:00.011-04:00

This Friday I photographed Larry Tee, La Roux and The Presets.

For those of you who do not know Larry Tee, he is the innovator behind the Elector-Clash movement. He's a DJ, a promoter and a producer who helped artists like the Scissor Sisters, Fischerspooner, and Peaches get their start. He's also had lots to say about drug-induced days his NYC party, Love Machine, being BFF's with RuPaul, and co-writing Ru's famous song “Supermodel (You Better Work)”.

Here is Larry with DJ Roxy Cottontail and electro-pop performer Mel Merio. They were all so fun to photograph.

Elly of the UK-based Electo-Pop band La Roux is a quiet, unassuming 21 year old. She is also ridiculously talented and has pretty fantastic hair.

My fave video of hers.

One thing that stood out to me about the crazy talented duo The Presets was that they are ridiculously funny. I mean, really, they made me laugh, like, a lot.

Love this song and this video.

Saw their concert after the shoot. Their whole sound and performance was polished and dancey and crazy fun.

Here are Jules and Kim in all of their glory.

Blue Streak

2009-03-11T13:26:00.004-04:00

When you work in photography, its always smart to come equipped with your own style team; people who you can trust to get the job done well, right and, if need be, fast. I found my style team when I started photographing for a production and consulting company, Blue Streak Entertainment, which is a company founded by Miss Teri Lea Yoest. Teri Lea is a producer, consultant, a nail technician, a choreographer and can dance with a bottle on her head, but that's a whole nother story. Our celebrity make-up girl is the talented Christina Natale. Christina is formally trained in make-up and all things fashion. Everyone you put in her chair comes out looking like a million bucks and feeling like a movie star. Dominique Mahler is a colorist, hair stylist, and wardrobe stylist extraordinaire. Jack and master of her trades, I not only recommend her to everyone I know, I'm also a client. ;) So these are my girls. The ones I would bring with me anywhere to work on anything and feel 110% confident that they will rock it each time. (from L to R, Dominique Mahler, Teri Lea Yoest, Christina Natale, and moi)

Women in Music

2008-12-11T15:42:00.007-05:00

I haven't posted in a long time. I've been in the process of moving into a bigger place, buying a new car, and holiday craziness but I attended the Women in Music holiday party to photograph on Monday and thought I'd share some images from the event!

Lady Gaga Live

Uh Huh Her: Camila Grey & Leisha Hailey

2008-10-29T22:17:00.004-04:00

Today I photographed Uh Huh Her, an uber-talented indie electro-pop duo from Los Angeles. For those of you unfamiliar, you may recognize Leisha as Alice Pieszecki of the Showtime series, The L Word. Before seeing the pair play in the downtown MTV studio following a LOGO interview and a brief photo session by yours truly, I had another short-lived celebrity sighting... Nina Garcia of Project Runway! ("don't upset Nina!") What a fun day!

Sarah McLachlan

2008-10-07T23:12:00.002-04:00

I'm not sure anyone understands my past obsession with Sarah McLachlan. There were points in high school when Mirrorball came out that I would literally listen to that album, the entire album, on repeat all day and leave it on through the night. Seriously... my roommate and I used to fall asleep to it. (I went to boarding school)

So here she is at the MTV photo studio in Times Square today!!! In all of her down-to-earth, beautiful glory. She was so sweet and nice and I can't wait to hear her new stuff!

2007-07-22T13:01:00.001-04:00

Blue of Noon... we had a fun weekend with this group of muscians/comedians from Atlanta who take their music, and little else, seriously. Talent, good looks and great personalities, they definately worked it for the camera this weekend with minimal diva-band moments. Thanks guys!

Midway Photo Shoot

2007-05-03T07:57:00.001-04:00

From a few weeks back... here are some shots of Staten Island based punk band, Midway. These guys were so much fun to work with. All three of them have totally different personalities so we really wanted to let those come out in the images. They have lots of energy and have great senses of humor... we were all joking around most the weekend. Definately wanted this to come across in the photos! Dommer the stylist did an amazing job with these boys and they were an absolute pleasure to work for! Thanks to Teri Lea for another perfectly planned weekend.

GLAAD awards

2007-03-27T21:46:00.000-04:00

Hilary Duff and Patti LaBelle at the 2007 GLAAD award show. Patti LaBelle was so much fun! Others there were Cynthia Nixon, Tom Ford, and Jennifer Hudson- who sang at the end with Patti and blew us away.

I'm so excited about my new career as a music video actress, I refuse to be reduced to a "video ho". ;) Also, Teri Lea hooked our band Midway up with a part in the video (pic above of drummer Rob and Redman! Got to photograph Redman (see below), who is hilarious, and swing around a frying pan. Watch it here!

Redman Video Shoot

2007-03-21T22:43:00.000-04:00

Last week I was honored to work with the talented Dale Resteghini of Raging Nation Films on the set of the Redman "Put it Down" vid. I even got to play a not too small role in the video so stay tuned and let me know how bad my acting is!

These are from a shoot with Jason Deutsch who is an amazing musician and a geniunely good person who kept me laughing the whole shoot! Jason is of course a Blue Streak client who has some really great things in the works! I was able to come along and help out on his video shoot- which was lots of fun! Good luck Jason!
