Holiday lifestyle editorial shoot for Fine magazine located right here in north county San Diego, was a blast. Fine magazine is available free, in San Diego, Orange County, and LA, so pick up a copy and check it out. It was fun for me, as is often the case when I get to do lifestyle shoots, to be somebody I'm not for a day, meet interesting people, and call it 'work'. I'm a boardshorts & flipflops kind of guy who wears airline pilot uniforms every day. I have some sense of fashion but my wardrobe emphasizes function over style and is about as boring and one-dimensional as it gets. Uncharacteristic of most models, I'm also as non-pretentious and non-materialistic as it gets. I drive a 12 year old pick-up and don't believe in 'status-symbols'. My status symbols are owning a backyard skate bowl and home-gym, and a 2 year old surfboard. And a good dog. Dude, all my time & money goes into my family and kids! I used to own a really badass British motorbike but had to sell it to pay for skate-bowl repairs - major bummer. At least I still fly jets.
My co-talent was Caroline Amiguet, the photographer was Jonah Gilmore, the editor and stylist was Whitney Butler (from Fine magazine), and hair & make-up were by Julz Lujan and Marisol Nunez. The location was the Kona Kai Resort & Marina on San Diego's Harbor island.
Did I mention I have the coolest (real-life) wife ever, for encouraging me to go out and have fun on shoots like this one, knowing I always keep it professional?
