Author headshots of Gillian Flynn for new novel GONE GIRL. New York Times bestselling author book jacket photos

I had the honor of taking Gillian Flynn’s author photos for her new book GONE GIRL which comes out JUNE 5th, 2012. You can learn a little about her by reading a snippet from her website.  And here is a bit about the new book….

New York Times bestselling author Gillian Flynn (SHARP OBJECTS, DARK
PLACES) will leave you breathless with this terrifying masterpiece of
a marriage gone wrong. On the morning of their fifth wedding
anniversary, Nick Dunne’s clever and beautiful wife Amy disappears
from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi. Under pressure from
the police and the media-as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents-the
town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and
inappropriate behavior. But even though Nick might be weak and Nick
might be bitter–is he really a killer? With her trademark razor-sharp
writing and virtuoso psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a
fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously-plotted thriller that
proves she is not only at the peak of her powers but also one of the
hottest writers around.

Fall outdoor family photos of mom, dad, and 2 daughters in awesome Chicago location

With the suggestion of a client, we located an awesome spot for outdoor family photos in Chicago. The place really goes well with my style of shooting which is more editorial, documentary, and left of center than your average photographer. I like to photograph families in interesting and unusual arrangements instead of simply centering everyone in the middle of the frame with forced smiles. I like to utilize the whole frame and attempt to create dynamic compositions and arrangements that show movement and harmony while at the same time capturing precious emotions and moments.  I think making interesting and dynamic family photographs is one of the most challenging things to photograph but with this beautiful family I think I have succeeded.

Wedding album pages from wedding photos at theWit Chicago Illinois. Made with Asukabook’s neoclassic album

This is a new album I designed from Asukabook called the NeoClassic. The pages are super glossy and white and the look is very elegant and modern. This album is from a wedding I photographed last year at theWit in downtown Chicago.  I designed the pages and Asukabook printed it.  I am showing a few pages from the final book below.
