Wyatt Clough invited me to come spend two days in the desert while he and Roger Galvez directed a narrative video for Silverstein’s“Whiplash”. It was just released yesterday, so I’m excited to share the BTS photo set- one of my favorite sets from all last year! The desert is my absolute favorite shooting environment, and it was so fun to get out and do something a little different.
I knew LAUV was something special when I first heard him at School Night in LA… about a year ago? I met up with him in his home studio a few months ago. We talked about life, coffee, music, and took some pics. He’s already selling out his own world tours, and I can’t wait to see what else he puts out.
Such a fun and crazy shoot! Captain Cuts released the music video for their first single “Love Like We Used To” today. Cougars, babies, cash on everything. Check out the video premier here on Idolator, complete with a lil’ cameo from yours truly, as well as Jax the porkie!
Abi has a powerful voice, personality and sense of personal style! I travel around the US with her this fall to document her shows and tour behind the scenes. She supported Pentatonix with Us The Duo on the US portion of their World Tour. We were accompanied by her talented band, Carissa (MUA extraordinaire), and her sweet parents/managers.

PENTATONIX:
I’ve never seen a more supportive and proud dad than Abi’s. This post is dedicated to Don, who is loved and missed.
I spent a day in the studio with Smallpools at the end of the Lovetap! Tour this summer to document the process of recording their acoustic mashup cover of Major Lazer’s “Lean On” with the classic song “Lean on Me” at the Red Bull Studio in Santa Monica. It was amazing to watch the process from arrangement to tracking (as well as hopping into the booth to contribute some group vocals myself).
Check out the track on Soundcloud with these BTS photos!
I had the privilege of documenting Grouplove‘s intimate benefit show (and first show of 2015) at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, LA. It’s been a few months since tour, so it was amazing to be back with this beautiful group of people! Read more about the concert’s cause here.
Finally posting Part 2 of Smallpools tour this summer supporting Neon Trees. This set starts at Chipotle’s Cultivate Fest in San Francisco and ending in my home state at Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, OK. Check out their upcoming headline tour dates here!
Check out the tour highlight video I did for Smallpools this summer and come see them on tour this fall! More photos to come, but you can see some of them in this post.
