September 21, 2018 by kwakualston

My photo crew and I arrived at an empty Warner Brothers soundstage, where a build team was unloading a box truck filled with platforms and seating to arrange for the Hollywood Reporter cover photo: a 30-35 person group shot of LeBron James’ staff from his companies SpringHill Entertainment and Uninterrupted.  Our concept for the Hollywood Reporter feature focused on LeBron’s business ventures and rise in Los Angeles.   A few days before the shoot I scouted the Warner Brothers Back […]

Directing Comedy: David Spade

July 20, 2018 by kwakualston

    Behind the scenes photos by Victor Campos   My photos are never really humorous or conceptually funny—I tend to take a more straightforward approach to portraiture.  Be it a conceptual piece or a simple one light portrait, I prefer to let the subject bring their own personality to the photograph, offering occasional cues or direction about the attitude I want them to convey. Christian Martillo, Audible’s Creative Director, helped come up with the creative strategy to create content […]

Our treatment had a wide range of concepts, from a comedic take on his […]
