Images from two shoots for Jelly Belly Candy Company.
Styling by Shannon Tompson and Rosy Strazzeri-Fridman
Shot at Rosy's house in San Francisco and at my home in Alameda.

My stylist friend outdoes herself.

Recent still life tests. Shannon Thompson styled the shots and came up with eight of them in two days, including finding most of the props. Freaking crazy to pull that much together that fast!

I strive to provide the highest quality working environment for my crew!!! Kidding, I swear she picked this spot to paint!

     Out looking for props and ideas. I really want to do a black set and at the same time I want to to do some very high key almost white. Not a lot of time to test right now so it may have to wait a few more weeks before I start collecting new props.

Scouting pics of the location for the last Jelly Belly Candy Company shoot. This is the home of stylist Rosy Fridman.

I recently found these fabrics I really like, deep indigo from Mali and some rough cotton from France. On the left are set tests I shot with those new fabrics and on the right the final images that those test inspired.

At the Alameda Flea Market there is a seller who always has great table top items, Elsie Green of Elsie Green Home. I decided to drop by her store/warehouse in Concord because she just got a huge shipment in from Morocco. There are so many beautiful things I hope I can figure out something to use them for before they are all sold.
