Going back to my roots a little this week with a dramatic headshot of a Clone Trooper. I’ve been thinking a lot about what and how I want to photograph my models and toys and came to the conclusion that this is the kind of shot that makes me happiest. It just feels right, you [...]

Happy 4th of July! To celebrate, I gave my assistants the day off (aren’t I a good boss?) and they decided to pool their money to buy a firework. If only you could have seen their faces, trying to decide which one to buy! They settled on a sparkler, so I lit it for them [...]

Have you guys seen this? Going out and mining asteroids is soon going to be a real thing. Where do I sign up? I think I’d make a great space trucker, despite the isolation, radiation poisoning, and madness associated with long space flights… Ok, maybe not. While I have your attention, did you download your [...]

Another short post this week, but the good news is that this is the last week of my deadlines. Next week things will be back to normal! Until then… did you hear something? While I have your attention, did you download your copy of my FREE ebook, Heroic Scale? Be good, -Dave The touching is [...]

A short post this week, guys, as I’m staring down some rough deadlines. To make it up to you, have a Master Chief …sans poncho. While I have your attention, did you download your copy of my FREE ebook, Heroic Scale? Be good, -Dave Am I better yet?

Now that Heroic Scale is done (barring a temporary printing glitch) and things are getting back to normal, it’s time to deep clean the studio. Sweep the floors, clean the windows, and remove all the dust and dirt from my camera gear. In order to really get in there and dust everything really well, I [...]

Now that Heroic Scale is done, it’s time to get back to the weekly grind. Clients need portraits and bills need to be paid. I have one more Heroic Scale post planned for next week (along with a super secret announcement), but for now… So in order to make my deadline with the book, I [...]
