ONE skate magazine printed this photo of Milwaukee freestyle blader Dallas Kilpatrick in its latest issue. (For those in the know, here’s the caption: Soul grind on the bench, transfer to top soul on the wall.) Dallas and I discovered this spot during a low-key mid-day photo mission. We shot a few versions of this trick, but I prefer this frame because it emphasizes Dallas’ style and the split-second just before he fully locks the second grind.

Two things you should know about me, if you haven’t figured them out already: I’m a sucker for silhouettes, and I enjoy using strobes to create moody lighting that’s like what you’d find in the real world. With that in mind, here are two frames from a recent shoot with Inna, who was visiting from New York last month. We shot inside against a white seamless background, using a few lighting tricks I’d been itching to try.

Some kitchen action and a portrait from the Soup Market’s Bay View location. Published in, you guessed it, the Bay View Compass.


Steam curls through the air as employee Jim Krawczyk pours chicken soup into bags.


The bags are then transported to a sink…


…where they cool.  The bags then go to local sellers and wholesale accounts.
