I had the pleasure of being the Producer on a Shabazz Palaces short film we shot this past year. It was an incredible experience working with such a talented group of people to create something for a band whose music means so much to me. Originally it screened as part of the FRYE Art Museum’s Moment Magnitude show but is now online for everyone to view.
Sub Pop Records Official Press Release:
We’re pleased to share (Sparkles)…Recollections of the Wraith, a new minifilm from The Black Constellation featuring music from Shabazz Palaces. The film is part of a thirteen part adornment, performance and object based ritual that began in the fall of 2010 dedicated to transitioned science fiction writer Octavia E. Butler. The video was initially shown as a large scale projection on a continuous loop for four months as an installation during the Frye Art Museums “Moment Magnitude Art Exhibition”. The (Sparkles)…Recollections of the Wraith clip was conceived, written and directed by visual artist and TBC collaborator Maikoiyo Alley-Barnes, produced byphotographer Kyle Johnson and shot by Miles Burnett/Ben Kasulke at various locales throughout Washington State.
I recently shot still profiles to coincide with several short videos about profiling some notable men as a collaboration with Nordstrom’s mens denim department. Here is a few favorites of Kia Karimi; who works on vintage Harley’s as well as Whiting Tennis is a well known showing visual artist. It was a blast working with my old buddy Alvin Stillwell again who styled the shoots.
My first coverstory for Seattle MET is out on stands. I had the fun assignment of running around Seattle shooting the best bar’s that feature equally as good of food as their cocktails. I did my best to restrain from trying every drink they made….I cannot say the same about not trying each plate of food. Needless to say, my photo assistants were stoked.
The Murphy’s Oil Soap 2013 Campaign I shot launched on their website & Pinterest yesterday. It was hard to beat the classic Grandma Church Ad but we did our best.
I had the chance to shoot Glenn Kelman for Bloomberg Businessweek’s latest issue. The article talks to the CEO’s of the leading online real estate company’s. He was a super interesting guy to talk with and turned out to be an investor in my favorite Seattle breakfast spot.
GET READY PEOPLE.
Kyle Johnson and I got an apartment in Billyberg and we’re coming for NYC with new portfolios (hopefully) and a few bottles of whiskey. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife.
If you would like to schedule a meeting with us (yes, tandem meetings, we’re freaky like that) please reach out and we will gladly show you our sexy photos, have drinks or chill out with you in any fashion you see fit.

Had the fun task of shooting some of Seattle’s best seafood in town. Featuring everything from Beer battered Fish & Chips to EEL (that mouth watering opening image from LARK) & Raw Oysters. I cannot deny that I did indeed eat that entire plate of Oysters.
Some of my favorites from a fun shoot with real families for Winter 2013 L.L Bean Gear.
