Jessica and Thomas - 2017.

I'm fairly certain I met Jessica and Thomas when we shared a room at DragonCon a few years ago, but for all I know (and I even asked) we could have met before. 

Sometime later Jessica became a huge supporter of me and my photographic career. We always talked about shooting, but things never seemed to line up. 

When Thomas asked for Jessica's hand in marriage at this year's Con, the decision was made that it was in fact time for us all to work together. 

And because you can't get a bunch of nerds together without having a moment of "we should dress like Mortal Kombat characters and run around a park". It was decided that some additional fun had to be had. 

Congratulations to you two, here is to many loving years together.

Oh, and Thomas. FINISH HER...or something. 

Much Ado About Nerddom V: A Geeky Variety Show - 2017

After stumbling upon a last minute photo gig for Much Ado last year, I knew that this was something I'd love to be a part of once again. I ran into Dani at the Game of Thrones show last month and asked if there was going to be another Nerddom event this year.

I'm super happy that she remembered the photos from last year and gave me an excited "yes" when I asked to shoot this one too. 

"If we’ve learned anything from "Empire Strikes Back", it’s that the 5th one is always the best! 
Much Ado About Nerddom: A Geeky Variety Show celebrates its 5th birthday this year at the amazing Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse! Not sure what to do with yourself the Wednesday before Con revs up? Well, come on down and let us psyche you up for the insane weekend ahead!
We’ve got burlesque, we’ve got puppetry, we’ve got stand up, we’ve got music, and we’ve got TWO BARS! "

Hysteria Machines: Winter is Stunning GoT Nerdlesque - Promotional Photos

Below are some photos and unused promotional materials I created for Hysteria Machines' Winter is Stunning Game of Thrones Show. 

Having worked with HM in the past on various projects, I was so excited to be brought into the "Inner circle" and asked to document some of the wonderful costuming going into the production. Many of these photos have been waiting to be posted since April and I am happy that they can finally see the light of day.

Zy_Gote - 2017.

Zy_Gote was brought to life by producer Stan Pavlov, fusing mixtures of different noise and industrial genres, molded together like Dr. Frankenstein constructed his infamous monster. Invoking dark atmospheres while unleashing distorted soundscapes aggressive beats and unsettling samples all at once upon the listener. 

Check out his debut album Potential for Destruction below.
