This is my photo tribute to the Ultimate Warrior, my favorite wrestler and one of the biggest inspirations I had growing up. This was a shoot I did w/ the amazing Christopher Sladic. I met Sladic at an athletic event and he was running around dressed as the Warrior, taking pictures with people.

May you run amok in the dimensions above and conquer kingdoms in parts unknown, Warrior! Live like a Warrior!

A photo shoot w/ the lovely Lily Dang. With this shoot, I wanted to create an abstract look to it all with the nature scenery. It was my first time really utilizing these new techniques so I was excited to see how the results would be produced. All in all, not too shabby!

I produced this music vid for the supertalented Ryan Higa aka NigaHiga. He, Andrew Garcia (American Idol) and Andy Lange crafted a ditty called "GTFO" which stands for... well, you can google it b/c it's kinda naughty...

Here's the obscenity-laced vid in all its full frontal baring glory:

TEE-HEE!

I was paid a visit from France by Guillaume Deutsch and Elizabeth, owners of my swimsuit sponsor, Aquadeus. After having a nice little breakfast at the local French/Vietnamese fusion cafe, we went straight into the photo shoot w/ our lovely model, Megan. Megan's a total pro.

For the shoot, we decided to do a mixture of grungy swimsuit-type looks, so we looked for anything that resembled gritty in the texture of the environment, whether it was graffiti on the walls, chainlinked fences or even the railroad tracks. Megan was a total trooper and was down for whatever I threw her way.

Special thanks again to Guillaume and Elizabeth for always having my back w/ the sexiest swimwear this side of the Atlantic! I'm proud to be repping them to the fullest and showing the world what hot digs they have. The ladies around here should be proud to sport these suits!

Paige Anne, ballerina extraordinaire, is something of a dancing wunderkind. She hit me up on Instagram after seeing how I photographed one of her friends, Juliana. With Paige, I wanted to take the concept and make it more of an edgy dance concept.

After a while of trying to work out our schedules, we finally got a chance to hit the railroad tracks and make some magic. She brought the attire and the attitude! Not only was she fun to work with, but she was a pro who brought it! In the end, I even had an idea for us to photograph atop a broken down train, and guess what... we climbed it! Climbed it and photographed with the sun setting in the back... you can only imagine the cars honking on the freeway warmly as they saw her perform a one of a kind show on top of the world.

Photo shoot w/ the US National synchronized swimming duet partners, Karensa Tjoa and Rebecca Moody! Currently, they're training for the Rio 2016 Olympics and just from working with them, I can sense that they're going to go straight to the top! These girls have nothing but a wonderful, hardcore work ethic that wowed me from the get-go!

We took it to the railroad tracks with this photo shoot! Brooke is the epitome of daring, sexy, and cool, so that's what I wanted to project with this shoot. We had the luxury of utilizing Aquadeus Swimwear for the shoot at the end too, that I coupled with the Masquerade mask. Overall, I think we produced some results for a shoot that gets the heat rising in any room!

I envisioned my model Juliana in a superhero getup, where she was overlooking Vietnam's dark and desolate landscape. We went for a sort of Batman Forever type of lighting scheme. I normally don't light like this, so I was excited that Nam and I could make it all work. In the end, we created imagery that boasts a vivacious undertone of a different breed of superheroine... and that's just the way I like it!

Here's the rest of the shots from my photo shoot with International synchronized swimming champion, Crystal Yap.

I was inspired by lots of cool, breezy, conceptual thoughts w/ this shoot. I felt the need to express lots of emotions through her character. I've known her for a few years now, and this is the first time I've ever actually photographed her. So, basically all these shots are a summation of everything that symbolizes her, whether it be trials and tribulations, or the dawn of what's to come.

The last shot is basically a homage to the movie "Gravity", wherein one of the scenes, Sandra Bullock comes to grips with her condition, and is reborn. I took that, and spun the concept to involve the Aurora Borealis, which is a phenomenon that Crystal and I are fascinated by.

The Grand Canyon... this is the first time I've ever laid eyes on this beauty... It's even more majestic in person than I had ever imagined. Thanks to my friends, Nam & Lily, I got to witness this spectacle as the sun died down. Let's just say, the colors congregate in a smorgasbord of cerulean and reddish hues that thunder the skies above.

You have to see it to believe it.

Plus, did you know that this detour from Arizona to the Grand Canyon to Vegas and ending in Orange County is a lot faster than going straight from Arizona to Orange County? About 2 hours faster. Crazy food for thought, eh?

Lexie Kelly in Aquadeus swimwear. I love my swimwear sponsor, Aquadeus. They're France-based and their style is sooo slamming, especially for swimmers who dig crazysexycool styles. I'm proud to be shooting their digs, and to top it all off, I got to shoot with the wonderful Ms. Kelly, who is just too cool. Thank you, Guillaume/Aquadeus for the swimwear!
