WSJ- T Boone Pickens

I shot T Boone Pickens the other day for The Wall Street Journal.  He's a pretty big deal, and I didn't know how much time he was going to give me, so I was really prepared.  I had locations picked out, lights up and tested, topics of conversation that would be interesting to Mr. Pickens.  The shoot went very well.  His personal assistant actually said, "Wow Justin, he must really like you, this is the most time I have ever seen him give a photographer".  Granted the time given was about 20 minutes, but I appreciated that.

The WSJ story was on his natural gas car.  I did have to sneak a cool shot of just him for me though.

DCEO tears

Alright, I apologize for the lack of blog posts in Dec.  It was a very busy month with a lot of traveling and I just had to focus on those jobs for a while.  I will be posting a lot of those assignments here soon for you to check them out though.

Here are some tears from a few shoots I've done recently for DCEO magazine.  Always a great magazine to work with, shooting interesting people.

The Mill

I did not make this video, or have anything to do with it.  I am just really inspired by it and thought I'd share.

Catfish Noodling

I had the amazing opportunity to go catfish noodling a couple of months ago.  I was commissioned by DITLO (Day in the Life of) to go up to Oklahoma and shoot the family that stars in the Animal Planets TV show Hillbilly Handfishin'.  My two assistants and I had the best time with the Bivins family.  Here are a few of my favorite shots.

Then of course my awesome assistants (Matt and Brenda) and I had to get a shot with the catch of the day.

Jack Black Skincare

This was such a cool project, that I was able to work on with the Jack Black team.  I Directed and DP'd on these videos.
We shot this first one at the amazing barber shop in Deep Ellum, Robs  Chop Shop.  I scouted about 6 different barber shops in Dallas, but we knew it had to be this one.  It had such a cool vibe and the decor was amazing.  This first one is their "Anthem" video, the one that shows the look and feel of their brand.

This video is the "How to" video that teaches you how to use the Double Edge Safety Razor, that we shot in the studio.

TIME magazine - Obamacare

I was real excited when I got the call from TIME magazine to go down to Houston and shoot some portraits for an Obamacare story they were working on.  The article was about people in different walks of life and the effects that it will have on them.  The two days of shooting went so well.  The locations were very inspiring (creatively) and the subjects were very cool and easy to work with.  Good experience all the way around.

Here are the tears, but also a few others that didn't make the cut, that I liked a lot.
