BTS: Kyle Kinane

Apparently Mr. Kinane has some fans. There was over 700 views of my last blog post before 10 AM just this morning.

As promised, here are a few behind the scenes shots. This is the kind of hijinks we get up to on a Tuesday. Did I mention how much I love being a photographer? That's the lovely and talented Sienna DeGovia pouring the honey.

 

 

Kyle Kinane has had me in a conundrum... in the land of milk and honey

In March, comedian Kyle Kinane volunteered to be the latest subject in a personal series I'm working on called Food is Funny. We shot in Hollywood at Tulino Design Group's studio and teamed up with food stylist extraordinaire Sienna DeGovia.

The premise for the series is simple: my favorite comedians photographed with food. The artsy catch is that it must say something about their comedic style. If you don't understand the artistic choices below I hope you'll check out Kyle's comedy. His album "Whiskey Icarus" is my favorite comedy album right now.

Often times I see exactly what I want in my mind's eye before I shoot. Other times I give myself options - and then add a subject like Kyle, who ultimately gave me too much of a good thing - and now I'm left reeling trying to pick one image. It's a good place to be, don't get me wrong.

Here's a taste.

I'm leaning towards this one, though. Tomorrow I'll post some behind the scenes.

I managed to coerce one of my colleagues - architectural photographer extraordinaire, Rebecca Daniels - to step in front of my camera this week for a cover, no less.

Michael Ian Black is a handsome man

I got an opportunity to shoot Mr. Black a couple of weeks ago while he was performing in Sacramento, CA. He was an amazing subject and I am really happy with the results. A big thank you to my incredible assistants and friends who jumped in on a moment's notice to pull it all together: YOU ROCK MY WORLD!
