[CLIENT] Six Twenty Seven

Just a little behind the scenes from the lookbook of the SIX TWENTY SEVEN clothing line. The client flew in from New York and shot at TYE Studios for some product photography and then off to Fort Lauderdale Beach for their "fall/winter" lookbook. The images and theme for the book was a "cold" beach similar to L.A. winters. Moody, cloudy, and secluded.

[NEW] TYE Studios Blog

Good day everyone. Just wanted to keep you posted on a new blog that I've had the pleasure of taking over and revamping for the past week. It is for my resident photo studio and rental house, TYE STUDIOS. The blog needed a fresh new look and updated entries so I thought I'd add some additional time to working on that blog and sacrificing a bit of my blog for the time being. Not to say that I will be ignoring my blog. Just dedicating more attention to my home. TYE Studios is everything to me. It is what made me, ME. I as a photographer, am everything and more thanks to the studio. Like I once stated before, I am a product of the studio. Without it, I would not have gotten this far in such a short time.

Check it out and follow me, photographers Andre Rowe, Michael Hansen, Donna Peplin, Marcus King, and others who've used the studio at:

Enjoy.

Polaroid Fever

Last night's spontaneous shoot with SKINNY INTERN was the jolt that I needed for the year ahead of me. I've been wanting to slow down and reorganize my structure as a photographer. I wanted to go back to shooting with medium format film for sometime now, but have not found anyone "worthy" of "film". It takes a new level of patience and focus for me as a photographer, and the same goes as well as the model. I never was the type of photographer who likes to click "just to" do it or to move the model. If I can do a shoot with with just 3 rolls of 120 film (1 roll per look), I'll do it, but the model needs to show me that she's giving me 100% or more. I need to better my craft, my precision, my control of lighting, composition and more important, my direction as a photographer. I don't need 1000 images from a photoshoot to go to the trash bin. What does it say about me as a photographer? Do I get lucky with my shots, or did I make it happen? I would like to say, "that I envisioned the shot and that I created the environment, mood, lighting, etc, and with the click of my camera and the help of a talented model, I CAPTURED THE MOMENT"

There will only be one ORIGINAL. Long live film and polaroids......

Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott

The inspiration never stops. A classic duo. I love their cross processing and high saturation in their images. Their photos just seem to pop.

Steven Meisel - Photographer

"One of the reasons the world has been slow to recognize his contributions is that he is an absolute chameleon," says Charlotte Cotton, the photography curator of the Los Angeles Country Museum of Art. Cotton, who considers Meisel the commercial photographer of our time, says he belongs in the pantheon of image-makers with Avedon, Penn, and Newton. "It's a remarkably risky position to take."

As I think of the photographer I would like to be like in the year of 2009, I think of Meisel as one of favorites. I have not been doing serious fashion photography for long (last January 2008), but as I develop a style or lack of it, I still need to look up to other photographers for inspiration and goal set my career in the world of fashion. Meisel's many different styles is what I would like to become. I don't want to be fixed to just one style or look. I want change and hopefully my next shoot will change it all. I "NEED" a MUSE.
