WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’?: Bob Marley Documentary

20 Feb


There’s been a lot a talk for a while now, about the Bob Marley documentary, Marley,  Finally this spring on April 20th (fitting), the project by Academy Award-winning director, Kevin Macdonald, who did Last King of Scotland, comes out.  Macdonald is known for his documentary work, so I’m excited to see what sort story/angle he’ll portray of the reggae legend. From the trailer, the project seems pretty engaging, and the  beautiful shots of my homeland, Jamaica doesn’t hurt at all; it appears 4/20 is planned.

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN?: inspirational souls

25 Dec


Somewhere between my quick business trip to Barbados with Dj Dummy and returning to the cold of NYC, I got a bit of my mojo back!

As my return to NYC tweet last night stated, I’m back on my grind:

…oddly enough in the process of looking for some info and reading the January 2012 issue of Self magazine, I ran into this video featuring A-trak, Curtis Kulig, Carlos Quirarte.  The video is a piece on people grinding in NYC that went with HBO’s now cancelled show, How to Make it in America (I’m sad about the cancellation, but they needed better writers, and needed to stop showing the obvious and develop the not understood). 

As i digress, this is a great piece to get motivated if you lost a little bit of your mojo.

I found a few images in my archive of the last few months and decided to add them to my photography website Jado Images, which is desperately due for it’s 2012 facelift!

The images are of super chill rapper Noreaga, who I had to spend the day with for my job at Vlad TV this summer.  Then there is rapper and sometimes singer Lil Mama, who I caught a quick flick of at the Black Girls Rock concert.  And last but not least, and my favorite picture of the 3, is up and coming singer Raye 6 (you may remember pics of her from my event site Frozen Heartbeat), who did like a 3 minute mini photoshoot for me backstage of the Ghetto Metal  show at SOBs last month, I ended up loving this candid shot.

Enjoy.

I haven’t exactly been happy with my work over the last few months, but being in school means I’m forced to show things whether I’m ready or not.  So alas, I must show some work.

Come check out the 3rd Year BFA Photography Exhibit, tomorrow (Tuesday) at the Fashion Institute of Technology, 5pm, and see what my fellow juniors and I have been working on. (For those out of the loop for the last 2 1/2 years, I’m a junior at FIT, working on my 2nd Bachelor’s degree. )

Since last year, the rapper, Live Wire and I have been talking about a photo shoot idea involving power lines and lightening.  I wasn’t sure how to go about executing it, but I had the idea in my head and just went for it.  Above is the result.

This shoot made me fall in love with the 1Ds Mark III!

Check out this shoot for French magazine Madame Figaro that Cameron Diaz did.

I heart Cameron Diaz, but I do got to say that lighting and Photoshop are her best friends,  In this shoot it was more the lighting.

I tried to find out who the photographer was, but couldn’t find it anywhere on the net.  Boooo on not giving photographer’s credit!

Check out pics from the new Emporio Armani Fall/Winter 2011 campaign, shot by Mario Sorrenti.  I’m loving the magenta hues.

Plus a man in a great tailored coat, makes a girl like me salivate…that tight leather one though, not so much.

Love this shoot of Cassie in the newest issue of Blank Magazine! It has a vibe that i’d love to emulate in one of my shoots; it got my idea wheels turning in my head.  The roller picture is my favorite!

Shot out to Blank for putting me on to photographers Steven Gomillion and Dennis Leupold, i liked a lot of their work.


Right after the pics came out from this shoot, this behind the scenes video was released.  Makes me want to have a photoshoot ASAP.  Oh, and Cassie should just model and instead of be a ‘musician!’

Next week Tuesday, June 28th, some of my work will be shown at Aperture Gallery here in NYC.  I participated in a photo camp in May in conjunction with Aperture Gallery and Sony and this is the result of us looking into ‘Culture Now.’  Should be a good night of art and wine!
