I know Brandon Barr through his brother Justin, who was my best man. Many years ago I did a headshot for Brandon, and he came back asking about doing a photo shoot and cover design for his upcoming book, American Midnight. He had a great model in mind, and we had a lot of fun with the photo shoot.

Brandon and I wanted something that was of emotion. Our model, Christine, represents the main character, Tania. Dark, emotional, fear, and anxiety were the words that we tried to convey through the shoot.

Here is my personal favorite from the shoot,

And here is the finished cover, used some images from iStockphoto.com.

Head over to Brandon’s blog to find out a little more about the book, and what he does.

Hi all. Sorry for the lack of posting lately! Contrary to what you might think, it’s not that I haven’t been busy, it’s that I’ve been SO busy that I haven’t made time to post. I wanted to drop in with a baseball shot I did for iStockphoto.com.

I always try to stay a few months ahead of the curve with my stock work, hence putting baseball images up now (baseball season starts late March/early April, with spring training in February!)

This is an old, dirty baseball, and I thought with the right light it could turn out pretty cool.

Thanks for stopping by, and keep tuned in to see what 2010 holds! It looks to be an exciting year!
