This assignment was for an instructional video with the talented makeup artist Leslie Graham for Mineral Makeup application. To find the video go to Asethic Video Source webpage www.videoshelf.com.
Products made of all natural, finely ground minerals from the earth, without any of the chemicals, dyes, and preservatives found in traditional makeup. Fast-forward some 30 years: Mineral makeup is virtually exploding the beauty market. I noticed that to photograph the makeup it is more shiney and dewey. It goes on smooth and natural. I love it :)

Its one of those events which is way more fun to shoot then it is to watch. Unless im a dude that's into those things. It was a cool event- im in awe that these athletes do such crazy things at such a young age. Happy to see them moving and not playing video games! But I digress :)

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase Mountain Man? Someone who lives on the land and is well versed in living organically I suppose. Mel is popular with artists from painters, to sculptors, to photographers. Mels presence in his element is his own. He has a few buffalo heads hanging around the cabin. He raves about his buffalo Chile he makes from 15 year old frozen meat. He also jokes that I should go running and he'll catch me with a lasso. Im not 5 years old don't think that would be fun :)

This was a fun shoot which was a combo of stills and podcast video for Araine Borg at Studio Salons. She used Kevin Murphy products on all of the talent along with her makeup line Beauty by Nature. I have worked with alot of hair and makeup lines and I was fairly impressed with the product lines. The talent Lacy Rachelle, Shae Duggar and Brian Kelly were all amazing talent. I would recommend them on any job! The website that the images will be on will be coming soon.
Araine is an amazing stylist/ makeup artist. She has been doing my hair for the past few years. She reminds of Edward Scizzerhands making art. I am always lifted after leaving her salon. Her Salon is located downtown salt lake city 400 South 500 East in the Studio Salon Complex. To schedule an appointment call her at (801)759-2193.
Here are some of the images I shot for promotion:
Mattie & Carrie, is a short film Directed and produced by Thomas Cassetta.
The basic synopsis:
Its a story about a Grandmother and Granddaughter. The Grandmother is battling with the edge of Alzheimer's Disease. The family is up at Character Matties house to celebrate a family wedding. Mattie & Carrie decide to go out in the woods and end up getting lost into the night. The family frantically searches for them. Alas at the end it is clear that Mattie is stuck in a time continuum and is unaware of present time. The production journal can be found at http://blog.scopicstudios.net/
I traveled to Colorado to be on the production crew. We filmed in Evergreen Colorado which is a beautiful peaceful mountain town. During production I was recovering from a broken foot. I was on crutches traveling through the woods up and down mountains. Its intense what my body has gone through for this career as a photographer. I was quite handy with the crutches even when we were filming at night. Everyone on set was very helpful with carrying my gear and cracking jokes about my injury. However dodging steady cam man, the focus puller and sound guy was rough. Its like an obstacle course in the dark enhanced with a broken foot. Ha ha.
I was very impressed with the two leads Cathy Washburn as MATTIE, McKyley Bork as CARRIE. The film is very sweet and reminds me how short life really is.
Here are some scene stills I shot:
I was in Denver working on a short film. At night after work I was out on the roof of the building I was staying in. There was a fierce lightening storm that last several hours. Before getting too wet, I snapped off some photos.
