I have a few shoots coming up as well as a photobooth TOMORROW for the Keeping It Classy Adult Prom! Way excited. I also did a merch line photoshoot for BLKHEART GROUP so I'll probably post some of those as well so Keep your eyes open!

New Computer! Kinda...

2011-05-16T23:47:00.001-07:00

Damn I just typed a huge post and accidentally clicked away and lost everything. Fack.

Anyways. Since I've had a broken computer for who knows how long, I've managed to buy my friends little netbook off of him. It's TINY, and has a broken keyboard. But with my old 20 inch flat screen monitor, and an external keyboard, what is there really to complain about? It is pretty funny looking though... But at least I can get myself back into the game now!

Haven't done too much since my last shoot with SS(the post before this one) but this past weekend I did a shoot with Letlive as well as Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza and I'm pretty stoked on the results. I also flew out to Mass again to shoot the NEMHF last month. Photos from that will be out soon so keep your eyes open! But for now, here are some shots from my shoots this weekend! What do you think?

Tony Danza:

I have quite a few shoots coming up within the next few weeks so I'll be sure to keep posting more:)

Suicide Silence Promo Shot 2011

2011-04-04T16:14:00.000-07:00

Man, not having a working computer reeeeeeeeally sucks. I've been using my moms for a while now but it's the sloooowest thing on this damn planet so I just choose not to go on it a lot of the time. I should have my computer up and running sometime within the next few days though. Hooray!

Anyways, here is a shot from the most recent shoot I've done with Suicide Silence at the California Metalfest this year. Pretty stoked on the results! Click the photo to view it on the flickr page.

Allllllllllso, Guess what's coming up? The New England Metal and Hardcore Festival! I got my plane ticket and everything set and stone now. Who am I going to see out there?! It's gonna be a fun time.

Sumerian New Years Eve Pictures posted!

2011-01-10T18:19:00.000-08:00

Click any of the photos to view! :]

Not having a working computer is really making life difficult.

2011-01-03T15:21:00.000-08:00

Anyways! These past few weeks I did two photobooths. One for my buddy Pauly for his "We Dont Love Them Ho Ho Hoes 2010" and the other for Ash and Sumerians New Years Eve! Both were tons of fun. It's great to get back out into shooting since I've been so stuck with the crazy holiday hours at work lately. Anyways, I don't have the NYE photos up yet but I did just get Paulys photos up. Click the photo below!

ALSO, Here's a couple semi recent photos that I have posted on my flickr that aren't up on here, as well as a shot from my shoot with my boys in Conducting From The Grave!

Hey look, got the site back up.

2010-11-01T21:42:00.001-07:00

Hello peeps! So I got a new job at Sport Chalet as a bicycle technician and it's had me pretty held up. I'm still shooting though! It's just been hard to keep this thing updated. I soon plan to remake a legit website again instead of using this blogspot so keep checking!

Here is a photo that I took of Tristyn today. Check it out! :)

I really need to start updating this thing more often

2010-07-13T00:21:00.001-07:00

I shoot quite a bit, but I still fail at posting on my blog spot. Anyways! A lot has been going on. Just shot the Rockstar Mayhem Festival a couple days ago, and about a week before that I shot Warped Tour! My computer has been acting up a lot lately so the online postage of those two shows is taking more then usual, but they'll be up soon!

For the mean time, here are some sweet Lamb of God shots I took as well as some cool Asking Alexandria shots from their show at Chain last month.

Remember to keep checking up on my Flickr page, since I tend to update that a little more :]

Bands/models lets book a shoot today! + Bands playing Cali Metalfest this weekend!!

2010-05-11T15:54:00.001-07:00

Any bands playing Cali Metalfest want to set up a shoot? I'll be at both days!

Besides that I have a lot of time to kill this month so lets set up some shoots! Models as well! Here is some recent work of mine.

Hit me up if you're interested!! Please pass it along for me if you can:)

Tristyn and Comic Con, April 2010

2010-04-19T15:21:00.000-07:00

After attending Comic-Con and hangin out at the SG booth for a while, Tristyn and I went to a grave yard near my house and took some shots. Got some pretty neat ones but in the middle of shooting I stepped on and broke one of my sync cables so I wasn't able to take any more pictures. BOOOO! So now I'm going to have to fix it for the time being until I get some new equipment this Friday.

Here are some photos I took yesterday:

View a few more on the Flickr HERE!

Division Divide Collage

Here is a couple of the photos that I smashed together. I thought it looked pretty cool so I'm sharing it with you.

Long day shoot with Division Divide and then Sunken City with friends

2010-03-25T14:47:00.001-07:00

I met up with my friends in Division Divide yesterday for what seemed like the longest shoot ever, but I had a great time! Drove around to a few different spots and took a bunch of rad pictures. I'm in the works of getting them up online, but for now here is three of the shots we had taken.

Also a few days before that I went down to Sunken City with a few friends and took some photos. This place is rad and I say you should check it out if you have never been. Here is one of the photos from then.

All these photos + more(from this set and others) are all from my Flickr page. View that here!!

The Bled/The Greenery @ Chain and Carnifex Behind The Scene Photos For Hell Chose Me

2010-03-11T05:21:00.000-08:00

So 2 days ago I went out to Chain Reaction to shoot some live photos for my new friends in The Greenery. What a great show they put on. If you ever want to go see an in-your-face live band, this is definitely one of them.

Here are a couple shots from the show, as well as a photostrip of some of The Bled shots that I got.

The entire photoset for both bands will be posted within the next couple days!

As for the Carnifex Music Video shoot. Victory had asked me if I were able to take some behind the scene shots for the music video. It was at this spooky old hospital in East LA called Linda Vista Hospital. It's old and abandoned but most of the stuff is still inside since it's still owned and rented out as a filming location. Here are some of the shots I got of that as well.

All of the pictures I posted in this blog are hosted off of my Flickr page. Those can be seen here.

Sumerian Records PT.2 Party Pics!

2010-03-09T18:58:00.001-08:00

Here are some of the party pictures.

No Bragging Rights Promos and Sumerian Party!

2010-02-11T05:33:00.001-08:00

Rick from No Bragging Rights hit me up about doing a shoot with them. 3 days later, it happened. The photos are plastered all over their myspace now and it looks great. Everyone check them out! They're one of the best live bands I've seen in such a long time.

Here is one of the finished products I did with them:

Also, last Sunday I went up to Sherman Oaks to shoot the long awaited party that Ash was having for Sumerian Records. After shooting the Emmure/Terror/After The Burial show at Chain Reaction in Anaheim, pretty much everyone booked it up to the hills to attend this party that started at midnight. I got home at about 630 hah. Good times! Here are some of the photos.

Click here for the rest.

I have quite the busy weekend coming up! On Friday I have a shoot with I, Omega. Then right after that I'm going to bust over to Hedz or Tales in La Habra for Paulys 3rd party there! Here is the flyer for it. EVERYONE COME!!!

Then on Saturday I have a photoshoot booked with my friends in Abacabb. Should be a fun day! I always laugh at their name. If you don't know what Abacabb stands for, think back. Way back. 1993 Mortal Kombat. If you enter A-B-A-C-A-B-B it unlocks "full gore and fatalities" How cool, right?

Will post more soon!

New Years Resolution, update this more!!

2010-01-21T06:08:00.000-08:00

I have a lot of stuff to post, but in the mean time I have a couple pictures taken in Long Beach during our recent rain storm. Waking up to rain is one thing, but waking up to hail certainly isn't what I expected. I heard a helicopter hovering over my house for quite a long time, so I turned on the tv and skimmed through a couple news channels to find out that just one single block away from my house in Long Beach, was flooded flooded up to about 4 feet! I couldn't believe it. When it all died down, some cars were practically sitting on the grass/curb because they have floated up there. Crazy stuff.

Dead Swans, Comeback Kid and a bunch of other photos posted!

2009-11-23T18:32:00.000-08:00

I'll re edit this post later on.

Gooooood weekend!

2009-10-13T15:57:00.000-07:00

So I've been pretty packed this weekend. First A Day To Remember and Parkway Drive played the Glasshouse in Pomona two nights in a row on Thursday and Friday. Then The Black Dahlia Murder played the Glasshouse as well the next day with Children of Bodom. After that show I drove down to Azusa for my friend Dans 26th birthday party and did a photobooth for him and all of the friends were there. Made a lot of new friends, and saw a lot of familiar faces. It was a good time. The next day The Black Dahlia Murder played a free show for Ding (You know those fancy little stickers you can put on your phones and laptops and such) at the Slidebar in Fullerton. It was capped out at 200 people and well over that came out. It was nuts, to say the least.

Here are the photos from the Ding show, and the birthday party. I'll get the others up in the next post :]

The first 3 are from the party, and the last are from the BDM Ding show, which was also a party.

The rest of the pictures can be found here.

And the rest of these can be found here.

Thanks!

I've been doing a LOT of stuff lately, here are some highlights

2009-03-12T14:53:00.000-07:00

First off, I shot Slipknot last Saturday and man, was that a good day. I had a lot of trouble getting in because of how the venue had everything set up, but I walked around and found the right person and made it in to shoot the show. I did miss Trivium because of all that, but oh well. I've seen them about 17 times before, so I'm pretty positive I'll see them again very soon.

Abigail Williams played the coheadliner slot with All Shall Perish at a sold out Chain Reaction show. I managed to do a shoot with them.

About a week before that, my friends in Oceano flew out to LA to film a video for their song "District of Misery". I went and hung out, and took a few pictures on the set.

What did you do on Valentines Day? I went and shot the Bleeding Through/Acacia Strain tour and had a blast. Here is a promo I did with Acacia Strain before their show.

I also managed to shoot Circa Survive at one of their sold out Chain Reaction shows. Soooo many people were there. It was a good one. Here's a shot from that:

These last two photos below are promos I did with Despised Icon and Beneath The Massacre when they were out here a couple weeks ago. Took them both in the pouring rain, outside Chain Reaction after they played their show. Great dudes, and what a blast that show was.

If you would like to view more pictures of the sets above, or any of the other shows that I've shot, follow this link. They were all taken from this page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/heavymetalsource/collections/72157605449776676/

Leave some feedback! :]

I've done some really good shoots lately...

2009-02-03T04:31:00.000-08:00

All Shall Perish, Hate Eternal? Whaaat?

2008-11-26T15:19:00.001-08:00

So the life of being backed up continues, but I managed to pull a few photos out of these promo shoots I did. Chris Storey from All Shall Perish had me come out and do a shoot for his guitars. On top of that, I shot all 5 of the bands that played that night, along with doing 4 promo shoots. I was running around like a madman, but it played off. Here are some of the shots:

Hate Eternal

Chris Storey, All Shall Perish, Dean Guitars

All Shall Perish

Annotations of an Autopsy

As you can tell by the tags, I worked on all these photos at different times. Hahah.

Leave some feedback. I'd like to know what some of you think.

Thanks,

Saturdays "Rock and Shock" photos posted, and Bleeding Through @ Chain Reaction and my birthday.

2008-10-28T16:39:00.001-07:00

What a better way to spend my 19th birthday then to shoot Bleeding Through at Chain Reaction. It was a pretty fun night, and the band played amazing. They've changed a lot, and I didn't like it at first. But now it's one of the only things I've been listening to. I like it a LOT, now that I gave it a chance. It's some pretty good stuff.

I wanted to post up a few pictures from the show, and the link to the rest of them. So here they are:

That first one came out pretty cool. There was another photographer on the other side of the venue, and his flash fired at the same time, causing that bright white light that you can see in the backround.

For the Rock and Shock photos, go here, and click the links titled "Rock and Shock 2008" next to the band name.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks!! :]

Probably one of my favorite promos ever.

2008-10-19T19:02:00.001-07:00

I did a shoot today with a local band named "This Present Darkness". Here is one of the shots that I took and worked on.

I like it a lot. Let me know what you think!

New photos posted on the Flickr. aaand ROCK AND SHOCK 2008

2008-10-18T19:46:00.000-07:00

So I flew out to MA to cover the Rock and Shock Music Festival/Horror Convention and let me tell you, that was pretty damn fun. I have some of my photos posted on my photography myspace under the album titled "Rock and Shock 2008". I'll post some of the photos up on the flickr account, along with a full blog on here about my trip soon.

Though I'm so held back on EVERYTHING, I busted ass and got all of the photos up from last nights show at Chain Reaction. Check them out here:

The Faceless
Abigail Williams
Decrepit Birth
Veil of Maya
Nueraxis

Also, here are some random sets that I have shot in the past couple months:

Austrian Death Machine @ The Nitty Gritty
Trivium @ The Dome
Trivium @ The Whisky(Myspace Secret Show)
All That Remains @ The Dome
Through The Eyes of The Dead @ Chain Reaction

Please check some of them out and let me know what you think!

Also, be ready. A whole new entire website is in the makes!!

Sooooooooooo held up.

2008-09-20T17:17:00.003-07:00

Okay so not only am I held up, but now I'm mad. I've already written this blog twice, and somehow lost it and now I have to do everything all over again. A;lkdjfasdf.

Anyways, Yeah, About 2 weeks ago I shot 5 shows in a row, and did 4 promo shoots in between. Since then, I've done even more. So now, I'm SO held up on all my photos and I really just need to vanish for a day so I can finish them all. But then I would probably go mentally crazy, so I'm not going to do that. But for the mean time, here's a shot from each promo shoot that I've had. Please leave some feedback, I would like to hear what you guys think! Thanks a lot:]
