Crestline mountain bikes are blowing up — their latest builds are so in demand they’ve completely sold out. Thanks to Singletrackbandet, I had the chance to capture one in my studio to celebrate his new sponsorship. This short highlights the design and build of the bike, all shot in a day at my San Francisco studio using the Kessler Second Shooter Pro and edited in DaVinci Resolve.
U-Turn Audio Turntable
I loved creating this short video, capturing the clean lines and modern aesthetic of this beautifully designed turntable. Its minimalist form and thoughtful details made it a great subject to showcase through motion and light.
I was able to use my programmable slider and geared macro lens, which added precision to the shots—both tools I plan to use much more in future projects.
Camera Sounds - ASMR
This is my Arca-Swiss view camera—clean lines, minimalist design, totally my vibe. I’ve been shooting with it for years, and it still blows me away with its timeless feel. This ASMR clip is my ode to a camera that’s as much art as it is a tool. Add a Phase One 150 MP back, and suddenly this it transforms into a powerhouse studio camera. Love that mix of old-school precision and cutting-edge tech.
Illumina - Part Two
To contrast the first set of images I captured for Illumina, we created a simple background with just a hint of warmth. Even with this simple setup, the sequencing machine really stands out.
Illumina - Part One
I had the pleasure of working with Illumina to capture images of their new sequencing machine. Their creative team did an incredible job shaping the creative direction, and having a custom-built set in the studio made everything feel so much more authentic.
FireBoard
FireBoard Pulse
Wow! That was my first thought when I was asked to photograph the new Pulse thermometer from FireBoard. I love the design and color choices. Its sleek, minimalist design and use of premium materials made the shoot a true pleasure.
Queen City Shoes
I stumbled upon Queen City shoes as one does while randomly browsing the web, and I instantly became a fan. Before the shoes could be worn in with the love of everyday life, I knew I wanted to create a short video. My goal was to keep the video short while highlighting the craftsmanship and attention to detail that make these shoes stand out.
Abbott
I worked with Abbott to capture some images of their FreeStyle Libre system. We worked over 3 days, capturing images that tell the story of how the product is used, along with images of the product alone. Both the solo photos and the people photos work well together because we kept the lighting and styling similar.
On the technical side, the photos of FreeStyle Libre alone are more complex than they seem to capture. There are two versions: one the size of a penny and the other the size of a quarter. To get the image all in focus, I used focus stacking, combining 30 to 40 images taken at different focus points to create one in-focus photo.
Watchmaker
I don’t often showcase my editorial documentary-style work, but my recent project with a watchmaker for Craftsmanship magazine felt like a nice follow-up and contrast to the studio watch photos I’ve been posting. Unlike my usual studio work, this shoot was all about spontaneity and natural light. There were no elaborate setups or art direction—just observe, wait, and capture. Working in an unscripted manner allowed me to capture the raw authenticity of his craft. I enjoy having jobs like this which contrast with my studio work.

Fitbit
Collaborating with the industrial design lead on Fitbit watches, I captured a series of images. The aim was simple: emphasize both the visual appeal and practical versatility of these products. The resulting photographs offer a clear depiction of how these watches seamlessly adapt to various user activities.
Motion With Light
How can you make an interesting video of a still product? I've taken up the challenge of adding movement through colorful lights and shifting the focus. Everything comes together in an eye-catching, playful video that's perfect for social media.
Doritos Bag
When I have some free time, I enjoy expanding my portfolio with new imagery. Recently, I decided to take on the challenge of capturing the essence of a simple item, like a small bag of Doritos, in a playful and creative way.
eBay Watches
A high-end timepiece can last a lifetime. As a testament to the enduring appeal of collectible watches, I recently captured a series of images for eBay, showcasing the website as a premier destination for purchasing high-end timepieces.
eBay Sneakers
The shoes are the star of the show in these images for eBay. The series was part of a campaign promoting the purchase of collectible footwear on their platform. The idea was to keep things simple, highlighting the shoes to appeal to collectors and fashion enthusiasts.
Fitbit Sense 2
I’m excited to share some photos I captured with Fitbit of their new Sense 2 smartwatch.
Lowercase Glasses
Video doesn’t have to be over the top, sometimes a small amount of movement is all you need. First I captured a high resolution photo with a still camera, then I switched over to a video camera to capture the video.
Lighting for both still and video used to be more complicated. Video requires continuous lights, in the past that would require HMI or tungsten lights. Now that the LED light market has exploded, there are tons of great options that work for both photos and video.
I was very happy to be showcasing Lowercase glasses, which are made in New York City. Now that I’m done photographing them, they will become my everyday glasses.
Says Chair
Sometimes bringing motion into a product video can be challenging, but in the case of the Sayl Chair by Herman Miller it was fun to let the chair spin and capture the natural movements. I wanted to showcase the details of the design and materials (by Fuseproject).
New Balance 990v2 Video
Version two of the New Balance 990. Unlike my previous New Balance video which is up and close and examines the details of the shoe, this one is a little more playful and pulled back.
New Balance 990 Video
I’m a huge fan of New Balance. I was excited when a tan version of the 990 came out. Originally created in 1982 they have stood the test of time and are still made today. I’ve created an up-close video to pay homage to their exquisite design and unique characteristics.
Cionic Lifestyle Photos
In my previous post I showed the photos of the Cionic Neural Sleeve that I captured in the studio. In addition, Cionic wanted to capture lifestyle photos to accompany the studio shots. The goal was to capture the images as the sun was going down. This gave us a small window of time to work with, so in anticipation we created a detailed shot list and scouted the scenes and lighting the week before. Fortunately we had beautiful weather and it all came together smoothly.
