Giovanni Allevi during (H)itWeek in Los Angeles

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 19:42:46 +0000

Again I get to photograph a musical genius…renowned Italian musician Giovanni Allevi during (H)itWeek in Los Angeles. What a story! I’ll let you hear it from Giovanni’s lips. It’s amazing and I am honored I got to photograph him. And it was his first interview in English…ever! You’d never know it.

Here’s a little more info on this fantastic musician. And more at his official website. (makes me want to learn Italian!)

And last, but definitely not least, listen to his wonderful music. Can you believe he secretly taught himself? At age 5!

Photographing a Legend: Franco Battiato

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 19:15:38 +0000

I never know where my photography will take me. This year, I became a staff photographer for the online magazine i-italy. Who knew I would be asked to photograph an Italian Legend, Franco Battiato. When I told a few of my Italian friends what I was up to that weekend, I was amazed. Seems Franco Battiato is an Italian Mick Jagger or Paul McCartney. Wow! And what a nice man. So humble and sweet, you would never have guessed he was musical royalty!

If you ever saw Children Of Men with Clive Owen and Julianne Moore then you know one of his songs. And I think it’s my favorite version of Ruby Tuesday I’ve ever heard!

Take a look at Mr. Battiato’s website to learn more about him.

Riggins Sneak Peek {Top Dog Portrait Photography}

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 01:23:15 +0000

What a beautiful day it turned out to be! A big difference from last weekend. (our original shoot date) I almost never have to reschedule because of the weather. So glad I did, the day was perfect.

We decided on Griffith Park for our shoot. Our meeting place, the observatory. No one would be up there on a sunny afternoon. It’s a place to look at the STARS! Boy were we wrong. The parking lot was completely packed. I mean PACKED. Not to worry, we both had cell phones. Oops. I guess we forgot to think about cell reception. After a few lost calls, I decided to text Wendy the new location. Good thing!

I swear Riggins was a mind reader. Every time I thought of a new spot or was about to tell him to sit or lay down….He did it! Seriously. It was so funny. And what a good boy. So happy. So curious. And STRONG!

Wendy had a few changes and when she left for the bathroom, Riggins’ eyes followed her the whole way. And when he couldn’t see her anymore, he started to cry. Poor boy. I had to dig out my peanut butter jar to keep him happy.

All in all, a fantastic shoot. Thanks Wendy! I’ll let you know when the rest of the photos are done. Until then, enjoy your sneak peek.
