I took this video of the live performance of the General Monks ( Planet Asia and Tri State ) Performing at the ESBE grand opening event in Chino Hills.  There was a lot of energy special guests included Rogue Venom, Killer Ben, Jansport and more.

As a photographer behind the scenes being shot by another professional photographer is a very enlightening experience.  Opening oneself, feeling vulnerable by being ones self in front of the lens feeling like the subject can help a photographer shoot more effectively.  Natasha Kozlova showed me this after she captured me then I captured her.  During our session I captured her playful side. Her ability to make people comfortable outside of their normal manner is incredible.  She’s an amazing photographer who truly knows her stuff.

“Used Quality Cars at a Competitive Price” – Southern California Auto Sales

I was booked through Genius Driven Corporation to shoot  video blogs for California Auto Sales .  California Auto Sales goal is to share their knowledge to help customers have a positive experience buying used cars.  The short video series starts as an introduction to the Car Dealership, what they offer and their philosophy and the last video demonstrates how to quickly inspect your prospect car before having a mechanic check it out.  The people at Southern California Cars were pretty friendly and worked with me to ensure the videos came out great. I’m looking forward to shooting more with them.

“Selling Quality Marble and Granite “

I was booked through Genius Driven Corporation to do a video shoot for Quality Marble & Granite for the Stone Contact TV .  It was a fun corporate project. The Founder of Quality Marble & Granite  Evan Cohen president of Quality Marble & Granite is on point with his knowledge and he is truly  passionate about the Stone Industry. His ideology and philosophy about natural stone is commendable but that will not unfold until later in his series of episodes that I’ll be shooting.

I had a great time with the whole crew this is the update of the 2nd set of the photoshoot Stacey Naito.

Dr. Stacey Naito half white and japanese is a fitness model and doctor.  Her passion about health and maintaining physical wellness will have people who live unhealthy lifestyles reconsider.  The great moments of some of these pieces and how I had her do her gorgeous glare was I said “look inside the lense imagine that special person asked you out for dinner at Mr. Chows” .  Recently Stacey won a fitness competition in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

I must admit I never was too much into sport but watching the The California Eagles play sparks my interests.  They’re determined, dedication, focus and team work watching them behind the scenes and getting to know them more personally each game is teaching me that sports is more than a game but a joint effort of people coming together using their abilities to win against their opponents in healthy competition.   This assignment really opens my mind more towards sports.

This game was in San Diego, Ca the eagles went up against the bears.  Though they did not win the game they played hard and I know next time they’ll be ready .

I love good hip hop and when I say good I mean great delivery with a solid message.  That’s what I experienced with the General Monks ( Planet Asia and Tristate”  Performance.  Planet Asia been around for a while, once was signed and now is doing his independent movement Gold Chain and the combination of Tristate’s steady delivery and Planet Asia’s hype energy brings a strong dynamic for the group General Monks.  A perfect example of that energy you’ll see in their live performance below “Morris Code”.  Morris Code is one of my favorite live tracks, it paints a picture and has leads to knowledge one can unlock doing research.

I was invited by ESBE clothing and 86clothing launch party event. General Monks “Planet Asia and Tristate” for their new album titled ‘Walk With Us” Each Step Becomes Closer Elevated.   It was refreshing to hear live Hip Hop modern day pure positive hiphop uncut. The General Monks along with the special guests such as Killa Ben, Rogue Venom and more  did a powerful  performance at the event.

“Bar Season” Planet Asia Tri-State( General Monks)

There was once a time you could turn on your local radio station and hear very talented local talent.  Those days are almost if not gone. I love music and growing up on a steady music diet of  Michael Jackson, Prince, and Shalamar reinforced that feeling.  I personally have no music abilities whatsoever, but my gift supports such causes, taking on independent artist projects always excites me.   The challenge of spreading that artist directly to the people excites me.

Rap music artist Shug has been doing the music game for a long time and has came back out with his new Single “Summertime” and “He’ll do What” .  The song summertime is a west coast feel good song a joint I believe is easy for people 25 year old in the west coast can relate to.  I had a lot of fun shooting this project and implemented new methods of lighting to better match my vision of lighting through photography.

Details:

Bigg Sixx, Greedy Greg and I went out to Arizona to shoot two singles for Shug’s new album Crucial “He’ll Do What?” and “Summertime” . We met some wonderful people big thanks to our talent Carla Romero, Wayla, Destiny, Hillary Limond, and  all the great talent that participated.  Here’s a little Pre-Release Peak of the Music Video Summertime :
