S. Florida Christian Jazz Artist


This shoot was for Herb Conway, an experienced Jazz player releasing his first project on his own titled "Start the Fire". It's cool to hear of a Christian Jazz artist...that's good too! I've listened to his tracks myself and they are quite impressive...in fact they are "regulars" on my iTunes. In this shoot, Herb wanted a classic look with a focus on his guitar in the shots, so we shot this in studio using some natural light and some unique angles to achieve the look he was looking for. This is one of the shots that will go into his CD insert for the album that our design department (www.aslan-studios.com/print/) is currently designing. Herb was a great guy to shoot, and we hope the best for his new project.

Shooting Local TV Personality


This is from the shoot with Alicia Gentile, a local TV host/VJ from South Florida that is just getting launched into television sets across the country. Alicia came to me needing to get some new headshots done in a "L.A headshot" style. She has just finished working for NBC, and is now on to hosting her first major show called "The Gun Girls" for Guns America. Alicia doesn't seem like a "gun girl", but i guess that is the very reason they picked her...they wanted a girl that girls can relate too! We hope her the best in her adventures and look forward to working with her again.

Gospel Artist Duane Manns


This shoot was for our now good friends over at So Alive Music in Maryland...they came to us originally for a different purpose - for Aslan to do two websites - one for the label and one for their artist. These 2 gentlemen decided they were going to start a record company called So Alive Music and would be launching Duane Manns, their worship leader of their church, as their first artist.

So in the meanwhile of talking about the websites, Patrick had told them that I did commercial photography, and about my background in the record industry, and they decided to come down to our studio in West Palm for a shoot. We ended up doing the shoot and it was a big hit, and we got some great shots out of it for the Album Cover and insert. We also ended up doing all the design for the marketing materials for them which is always fun for us since it allows us to brand an IMAGE for the artist from their label...from album to every marketing piece they have out. The image that they went with for the album cover is in my portfolio on the site right now. I really like how the whole shoot came out and the final images...they have a certain emotion to them.

Lauren Wheaton's Wedding

I don't do many weddings - I don't love shooting them. But for friends and family I give in! This was a beautiful shot that came out of shooting Lauren Wheaton's Wedding in her home town, small Hamilton Alabama. Lauren is a friend mine and I'm glad we could get some great shots of her Wedding.
