My Interview with Nik Radio

I had the honor/privilege of being interviewed by Scott Shepard for Nik Radio from Nik Software this week!  Hopefully I didn’t ramble too much, and you can learn a bit about how I approach art in general.  After the podcast airs I’d love to do a follow up post and explain more of my thought process and creative approach.  It’s something I learn more about every time I shoot and I love sharing my thoughts.  You can catch the free podcast on iTunes here:

Also, for anyone new to my sites or my work, I’d be honored if you’d hit me up on my Facebook photography page!  With FB recent update to high res images, I recently uploaded a full high res gallery of my work for you to enjoy!  Please “Like” my page so you can follow all my latest updates!

Kevin La Rue - Israel – Thanks so much for joining us on Nik Radio. VERY inspiring interview that I’m sure audiences will dig – love your thoughts on pre-visualization and the cinematic approach to photos and producing photographic series.

I hope our paths cross again soon (next Photoshop World?).

Cheers,
Kevin (Nik Software)

B-Movie Horror Queen Jessica Cameron | Los Angeles, California Editorial | Modeling | Portrait Photographer

I had a real blast meeting and photographing actress Jessica Cameron in downtown Hollywood the last time I was in LA.  Jessica is a very dedicated and hardworking person, and her resume shows she’s going places!   We had a great time shooting at a very unique house of a good friend of hers.  Some of these images have truly become some of my favorite.  Crazy, crazy, and more crazy!  I think the guitar exploding composite is one of the busiest, most colorful, and “loudest” pictures I’ve ever taken, but I dearly love it for that.

Keep an eye out for Jessica, and if you want to see something that she did recently, look for her in the SyFy Channel movie “Camel Spiders!!”

Peter Dobson and Bob Spillman from “White Mule” | Los Angeles, California | Editorial and Portrait Photography

 

I had the privilege of shooting actor, writer, producer and director Peter Dobson and actor Bob Spillman from Peter Dobson’s recent short White Mule when I was last in LA.  I was actually able to attend the premiere of the film at the Regent’s Showcase Theater the same week I was there, and I thoroughly enjoyed the film and everything that went into it!

The goal of this shoot was to capture a bit of the ethos of White Mule and the golden era of the auto, from 1950-1975.

You can see the trailer for White Mule at the end of the post!

Sebastian Siegel || Los Angeles, California || Modeling and Cinematic Portrait Session

Sebastian Siegel is an actor, writer, artist, and filmmaker.  Some of you may recognize him from the shows LOST, HAWAII Five-0 and most recently THE FINDER.  Read more about Sebastian at  http://www.sebastiansiegel.com/Site/Bio.html

Sebastian and I had the privilege to meet and discuss shooting a couple years ago.   With my recent trip to LA we were finally able to make it happen, even though both our schedules were filled to the brim!  We woke up well before dawn and shot on Highway 1 in Malibu on the Pacific Coast.

 

Please enjoy this Road Warrior / Steve McQueen style shoot, Sebastian was a big part of helping to plan and finalize the look you see here, and his input was invaluable. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did working on it.

Barb Kellogg - Crazy awesome!!! Love your style.

Vivica Hallow | Baltimore, Maryland Modeling Session

This January I got to work with the amazing Vivica Hallow from Charlotte, North Carolina!  Vivica is a very cool model who does a lot of different types of modeling, and I always like to mention that she recently had a part in the big-budget Hunger Games film.  Our session went really well and there were so many great images from our work together, it is truly a shoot I can return to in the future. Thanks to Graffiti Warehouse and Ren Garczynski for the studio space!
