This past weekend I traveled to Savannah, GA to work with some very talented people and shoot a lookbook for a project known as Cavalier, designed and directed by my good friend Taylor Pemberton. Here is a teaser image from the entire feature. Taylor's brief explanation on the project sums it well:

"Cavalier Essentials is a line of vintage products designed for the rugged, yet sophisticated gentleman. Cavalier was always briefly explained as--"If Steve McQueen carried a beat-up leather duffle bag on the back of his motorcycle; what would be in it and how would the products look?" This simple idea married an appreciation for lifestyle design and vintage accessories. All of the products possess a hand-made quality while responding to the modern influences of today's culture."

Being from Minneapolis, it was an awesome break from the frigid temps of winter to go shoot for a few days in the south. The first two days we spent location scouting and meeting with the models and stylists, then shot a full day and half. Luckily weather permitted for some incredible light and Savannah offered a perfect opportunity to shoot what we wanted. Taylor did a phenomenal job with assembling a great team for us to work with as well as coordinating schedules. Stylist Lauren Maring from South Magazine did a phenominal job coordinating makeup and clothing. Taylor and I are both extremely happy with the way the project turned out, and anxious to share the images.

I had a blast this past weekend shooting in Upstate NY with my good friend Mike Smith of Ash Imagery. We roadtripped about 6 hours north from Philly after playing some pond hockey and spending time with his awesome family (he has the cutest son and daughter ever). Make sure to check out his work, you'll be seeing more from our weekend soon.

Hope you had a great New Year and holiday season, cheers to 2011!
