Karel Sterba Jewelry.
Work detail: photography and website design [karelsterbajewelry.com]. Probably one of San Francisco’s top jewelry designers. One of the best I have ever seen! The massive ring in the images holds a very rare, very large yellow diamond of some ridonkulous amount of carats. With is 90+ inset diamonds, the ring is worth well over $800,000.

Work detail: Photography. SNOW 3rd year. For this event, I decided to move away from the traditional white on white and instead use color to literally illustrate temperature. I added heat to accent each model to bring the idea of the coming spring, the morning sun that thaws the ice.

SNOW 4 Fashion Show Promo: Winterkind.

Work detail: Creative Directions and Photography. We needed a concept to build a theme for this year’s fashion show.This series of images require that it be shown as a complete piece. I’ve placed it in a video because, well, I know how everyone wishes to just show what they did in particular without speaking of the experience as a whole and the story as a whole. And the story? You have to see it to experience it.

Promo Campaign for the San Francisco International Fashion Film Festival.
Work detail: Creative Direction and Photography. Aside from my work as director of the San Francisco International Fashion Film Festival, I also had to create the look of 2012’s theme, among millions of other things. The classic look I felt was the right angle. Simple, elegant and beautiful. FORD model Hanna Perry was key to making this happen. Her look spans the ages and I want to capture and remember it as artists did of the time. Hector Manuel of Acta Non Verba and Joseph Domingo were also essential in the mix because they are the few fashion designers in San Francisco that made clothing that really made women look like women through style as well as feel.
The quotes aren’t attributed to anyone because we seem to engage things that have names to them without ever understanding the context. Simply the name of the person who said it. This I’ve isolated the quote so that the layman reads it and may adopt it for themselves. Rest assured, they are quotes from reputable individuals.
