Tucker’s Point Hotel & Spa: Behind the Lens

A cancelled shoot and bad weather has really got me on my game for knocking out some new behind the lens videos (see also cabo).  This new video is from my recent trip to the beautiful island of Bermuda to shoot the newly opened Tucker’s Point Hotel & Spa.  Enjoy the new video.

Las Ventanas al Paraiso: Behind the Lens

Stayed up late tonight to edit together some video from the amazing shoot at Las Ventanas al Paraiso in Los Cabos Mexico.  As I’ve written in previous post (1,2,3) I’m in love with the resort and the people who make it so special.  Enjoy the video.

300 New Jersey: The Gallery + Behind the Lens Video

300 New Jersey: The Gallery + Behind the Lens Video

After a long week of post production and scheduling for upcoming shoots I was finally able to wrap up the images from my shoot at 300 New Jersey Avenue a couple of weeks ago in DC (read more here 1,2).  Along with the gallery of finished images I’ve also created another behind the lens video […]


Phoenix: Behind the Lens

I have to say traveling/shooting sick is no fun.  Right before I left for Phoenix this last week I started to feel a cold coming on.  Which in itself is no fun, combine that with it being 115 in Phoenix and you are pretty much guaranteed to be in trouble.  With all of that being […]

Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch: Behind the Lens

Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch: Behind the Lens

As promised I’ve got another behind the lens video to share.  This time from my shoot a few weeks ago at the magnificent Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch.  I have to say, I’ve shot this project during the winter time and now in the summer and there is something really amazing about this place in the […]

Times are changing..

and that’s not necessarily a bad thing depending on how prepared you are for it.  If you’ve had a pulse for the last 18 months you’ve noticed a growing trend, video on the web. Video for breakfast, video for lunch, maybe even a little video with your tapas if that’s how you like it.  I’m […]


Loews Lake Las Vegas: Behind the Lens

Finally got around to editing together (and I use the term editing very loosely) a new behind the lens video.  I’ve made a couple of changes/additions on this behind the lens video by adding some background music, a couple of finished shots from the shoot, as well as a new host for the videos.  The […]

Yacht Haven Grande: Behind the Lens

Still in the Virgin Islands although I’ve now setup shop in St Thomas shooting the Yacht Haven Grande. Situated at in the Charlotte Amalie Harbor, Yacht Haven Grande bills itself as a “Megayacht” facility. Even though it has been a fairly quiet time in the harbor I can attest to the Megayacht claim. I have […]

Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh: Behind the Lens

After a cloudy morning shoot today I thought I would post some behind the lens footage from Egypt.  It’s been a great shoot so far.  The resort has been very accommodating which makes all the difference in the world on a project this large.  Hopefully the clouds will clear for the next couple of days of shooting […]


White Sands National Monument: Behind the Lens

Here we go again, another video from my vacation a few weeks ago in New Mexico.  I posted earlier about our side trip to the VLA (pics, video) and now a little teaser from White Sands.  When we finally got to White Sands it was very late in the day.  We rushed out to the […]

VLA (Very Large Array): Behind the Lens

What better way to spend a cloudy Saturday afternoon then to do some much needed blog posts.  Let’s start the day off with a behind the lens video from my recent and much needed vacation to New Mexico.  My wife and I made a stop at the VLA on our way down to White Sands […]

Camelback Ranch Spring Training Complex: Behind the Lens

Camelback Ranch Spring Training Complex: Behind the Lens

In Glendale Arizona shooting the Camelback Ranch Spring Training Complex for the LA Dodgers and the Chicago White Sox. This place is a monster, it has more baseball fields than I have ever seen in my entire life. It’s about 150 acres dedicated entirely to baseball. Pretty impressive place. While heading over to another vantage […]


Lucas Oil Stadium March Madness: Behind the Lens

Tonight I was shooting the Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament configuration for the new Lucas Oil Stadium where the Indianapolis Colt’s play.  This weekends setup was a bit of a dry run for next years Final Four that will be hosted here in Indy.  Thought I’d break out the Flip Mino HD camera to give you […]

St Regis Punta Mita: Behind the Lens

Another behind the lens video for today.  This time it’s from the St Regis Punta Mita shoot.  As I’ve mentioned in my other posts (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) it’s a truly spectacular place with amazing people.  The video was shot from a reflecting pool outside of the Altamira Bar at the entry of the resort.  It was […]

Loews Ventana Canyon Resort: Behind the Lens

In the first installment of behind the lens video footage on the blog I have created something from my shoot at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort.  After a my shoot at dawn I setup for for the shot down the 9th hole looking back at the resort.  As luck would have it the maintenance man drove his […]


Coming Soon: Behind the Lens Videos

I often find myself in very strange places and positions to create compelling images.  Often the viewer has no idea what went in to creating them (hanging off of balconies, trudging through drainage ditches, climbing on top of construction equipment, ect).  After being inspired by several photographer’s blogs (kudos to Chase Jarvis, Vincent LaForet, and Zack Arias) in which […]
