I just completed a grueling marathon shoot of the new LS Hybrid with Aussie (by way of London) photographer Anton Watts (shown below with coffee all over him). Something like 28 shots in 12 days. Many in the studio, and some on location. A new world record! More images after you click.

Oh yeah, I did the retouching myself while on location. See the rest of the photos.

Here is a detail from a Princess Cruises poster I composed for of Saputo Design. I had to get old school and take some photos of water bubbles with my digital camera to add realism. Check out the “before and after” images in my portfolio player to see what went into this image. I think you’ll be surprised! More images after the click.

I just added two recently directed 2006 Lexus IS photos taken by German photogapher Thomas Strogalski. They are the first two images in the slideshow (Just click on 01 or 02 to view them). "Orange" was taken in downtown Los Angeles, and "Blue" was taken inside a parking structure. I was extremely excited to shoot with Thomas, and the results speak for themselves.

After the stills were taken, the IS shots were animated for the U.S. Lexus website. "Orange" is displayed on the Lexus Home Page, and "Blue" is on the 2006 IS Model Page. There is also a Wallpaper version of "Orange", and a Screensaver of the "Blue" animation.

Just a little image I put together to present the new IS anchor (that I shot with Thomas Strogalski) and strip images to Lexus. The strip image is created from two stock images and a CGI vehicle. I did the strip retouching to match the photographic anchor image. It’s fun to color coordinate, isn’t it?

In addition, here is the final Anchor Animation and Home Page Animation made from the still photos.

Saputo Design asked me to retouch their new GMC Canyon images. Dig those rich blue-blacks. More shots after you click the image.

I just finished retouching six Kia Amante images for Saputo Design. Each image is composed of six to twelve photos. Spectacular imagery, thanks to photographer Uwe Duettmann. Certainly an excellent start for the new Kia Amante.

Kia was launching the new Sorento. Saputo Design needed the action imagery to be graphically clean, hard lit, and cutting edge. More images after the click.

Saputo Design needed to create Professional Grade GMC Truck brochure covers that combined studio photography with a technical blueprint background for an engineering feel. I did an entire series of vehicles.
