Work Updates

The past month has been a busy one. I've been relishing my spare time like no other.  Here are some photos of jobs I've worked the past few weeks.

When there just HAPPENS to be a camel on location, a picture is necessary.

I swear, this camel was up to something.

Look at that skin!

Shooting a press kit for The Dahls with Tyler Parker. 

Here's a sneak peak of the shoot. Make-up only by me.

Ah, yes, the studio warehouse floor of Naimie's. I know thee well. Bobby Pins by the pound and every product a person could think of.

Such a hot day to be chic in a long black dress and docs, but the photos are going to be so cool. I'm so excited for her next art series.

Crazy camera aparatus

I've discovered my love for Rockaholic (TIGI) smoothing cream. I did hair for a couple of tween/kids fashion shows at the D23 Convention.

Things that are necessary after working with kids in a high stress environment for hours.

Having a total fan moment with the new OPI Muppets collection.

Taking a picture with the poster, like the big ol' nerd I am.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

I've had the opportunity to work with the Peppers a few times in the past couple months. For their featured Hoppus On Music episode, Fuse Presents Red Hot Chili Peppers Live at the Roxy and On The Record: Red Hot Chili Peppers. Here's a couple behind the scenes shots of those escapades.

The elusive crew pass, I'm not going to lie, no matter how many of these passes I collect- I still get stoked every time I get a new one. One of these days, I'll post a picture of the huge box I have full of them. They are the best keepsakes of the best gigs.

I fell in love with the belt wall in the headliner dressing room.

Marquee

Surprisingly this was my first time at the Roxy.

Setting up the stage. My day started at 7am in a cushy hotel room, the crew dudes started at the same time and their work did not end till hours after the show.

My view- keeping an eye on talent and walking backwards simultaneously is a gift.

Juliya's mean shoe game.

When they started loading in the crowd and my day was ending.

On The Record: Red Hot Chili Peppers

Fancy Rug.

Fancy chandelier.

Fancy location, does not always equal fancy station set up.

 

I do Mark's show when we film on the West Coast, here's a clip from Chad & Flea's interview on Hoppus On Music. 

Most of the time when I'm working with dudes, the product usage is very minimal. Here are some of my male grooming essentials that I couldn't live without. 

Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets

I can't tell you how many of my clients have walked away with this in their pockets. But it really is my favorite and the price point is very affordable, so it's worth it to pick up a few for the kit and let clients who love it walk away with it.

This is my favorite liquid foundation for men and women- it's perfect for spot coverage, to add a bit of color and it never looks like make-up, just skin and when you are working with dudes, it's essential.

Cover FX Matte FX powder is a newer addition to my kit, but it's perfect for touch-ups that are time sensitive and when you've only got 10 seconds to get somebody camera ready.

OCC Skin: Primer is the male host's BFF.

Lupe Fiasco

A promo for one of the episodes of CeeLo's show on Fuse called CeeLo Green: Talking To Strangers. I was hired to groom Lupe Fiasco, he was an absolute pleasure. Check out the episode on June 22nd.

Here are some promo shots from the episode as well:

Scenes from the Set

I have a bit of a fascination with on-set pictures... as you can tell. It's been a busy couple of weeks, so I will just do a basic picture dump with captions.

Interviewing the lovely Yvette Nicole Brown.

Did I mention how into Jao products I am? I would bathe in the hand refresher if I could.

Feet on Set: This is a music video I helped out my girl Christina Guerra on. It was super late and there was lots of pyro- good combination, no?

Set bag view from another job, I was kind of obsessed with this carpet.

Sometimes I get so surprised at the places I get to go to- this is the fitness room at the Ritz-Carlton, how motivating.

Always the sign of a good shoot to come.
