What a palette!

And the body is not bad either

James, That's pretty hot too, really well done.  Each shot of the vintage look I've seen from you gets better, superb casting, styling and set dressing.  Not to mention the light and color treatment.  Is this a job or personal project?  Jim

Thanks James.

This is an editorial we started a few months ago, but got caught up in other commercial projects, that were large and consuming.  The publication was nice enough to let us push it back for delivery.
It will be accompanied with a video.

This is a location in LA and lit with broncolor HMI's bounced in the room as a key, and small tungsten spots for the exterior doors.

No he's not. The australian Russell is a different person.

They both have blond-white hair, but One
Is cutted punky while the other hippy-surfer.

Both are talented.

Now that I read the credit again, it does say Russell James, re; to Donna Karan 2012 Fall Adv campaign.
   My bad & it was inadvertent mistake...

A little magic thrown in too?  Very nice!

One of my latest shoot. Clothes are designed by my wife and me, and she sew it as well. She's also the model

Quick grab yesterday with the 5d2.  One thing I love about the Canon is how fast I can move around a building.  I shot the overall primary dusk view with the Arca/P65+ and then ran around grabbing other stuff with the DSLR as the light faded into nothingness.

Been lurking, might as well throw my hat into the ring...

Nice images, MJS; wish my Fiesta's paint looked even 30% as nice. It did for about a week or so then vanished with the first delicate wash...

Often wondered how it would feel to own beautiful cars, but with my psychology it might simply raise the stress levels to implosion. I try to park in fields and disused aerodromes already. With a Fiesta. And there are no disused aerodromes around here.

Hi, Rob.

If you only want to own a car for it's looks, then buy a model... or go to a car show and take some photographs.

I have two nice looking cars ( both over 12 years old) but mostly I enjoy driving them... one for roadholding and one for comfort, both stress-free.

This is stunning work!

Good stuff, all.

MJS:  The new MacLaren!  Great shots.

Mr. Barrett:  I'm glad to see a bayou boy make good.  Great shot.  I really like what you've een doing with motion as well.

Master Cooter:  The frame with the bubbles is truly outstanding.

Master Cooter's other great shot, with the lovely posed with the phonograph, is geat.  For the newbs, please observe that the magic in that frame is NOT in the megapix, its lighting, set dressing, and art direction from Master Cooter's studio.  Its the attention to detail, the palette, the styling, the light, the posing.  This is what you aspiring shooters need to spend time on, not backs and cameras.  Its better to have a cheapish camera and good art direction/styling/linghting/set dressing/directorial skills than an IQ180/H4D-60/Aptus/Credo blah blah with shitty lighting and shitty art direction in front of it.

Thanks for this quote! In fact the camera is what matters less in all the pipeline, but...what often worries me is that it seems that it's not only a great quote to catch for the newbees...

Have you seen the latest film of Recuenco with iphones? it tells it all.

Yeah, the Coot stuff with the bubbles is truly wonderfull.
