Kylie Minogue

A few shots of the amazing legend that is Kylie Minogue taken during an interview with Logo. (Don’t judge me based on these pre-lit for video snapshots!) I was so excited to be there though that I had to share these. Doesn’t she look amazing? Check her out being adorable and hosting PopLab on Logo!

Maybe someday I’ll do an actual photo shoot with her! Lets make that happen!

Jeffery and Cole

I was given an assignment recently to shoot the stars of the hilarious web series Jeffery and Cole Casserole for MTV Network’s channel, Logo. Working with a smaller budget for this web series, I made use of a large softbox attached to one stobe and used hot lights to even out the background and backlight the subjects. We had a prop table, provided by Logo, which helped animate these two already hilarious characters and added a new dynamic to the shoot.

Women in Rock

Robin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 04:17:56 +0000

I photographed two impressive mainstream crossover rockers, Kaki King and Lissy Trullie, for Logo/MTV Networks. Kaki King is both an amazing guitarist and songwriter, becoming the first woman to be published in Rolling Stone’s list of “Guitar Gods”. She was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score for the music she played in the film Into the Wild. Lissy’s already dense career as both a musician and also as a model continues to thrive after the release of her debut EP, Self-Taught Learner, in early 2009. Here they are!

Candy Slice Comedy

Robin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 15:39:24 +0000

Recently I had the opportunity to photograph the hilarious ladies of Candy Slice, a NYC all-female comedy troupe of eight who met in the improv program at the famous Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater and named their group after late comedian and SNL-star Gilda Radner’s “Candy Slice & The Slicers.”

The troupe performs their monthly variety show, “Up Late With Candy Slice,” in Manhattan, and their self-produced videos have garnered over a million hits on YouTube, including their very own behind the scenes spoof of the Beyoncé and Lady Gaga video for “Video Phone” (which also appeared on Perez Hilton):

The most amazing thing about that video? They wrote the parody BEFORE the actual “Video Phone” video was released! They’re obviously oracles. (Also, does anyone else think that Beyonce totally ripped off MIA’s look in that one shot? You know which one I’m talking about.)

In the era of Tina Fey, Wanda Sykes, Amy Poehler and Kristin Wiig, Candy Slice is an example of a growing trend of confident, funny ladies taking over the comedy scene.

For the shoot, I had the help of talented wardrobe stylist, Sara Medd, who brought the bright threads, accessories, and lots of sweet props. We listened to Gaga, played with hair fans, and ate a lot of candy. See the full interview here.

I took photos of my grandmother Kittie’s shoes around her house over Christmas. Her house is the perfect vintage backdrop for this kind of still life shoot! Here are the results.

Fame Monster photos

Robin — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 02:51:52 +0000

I’m so honored and excited to share a few of my photos from Lady Gaga’s The Fame release party, Fame Ball, published in the limited deluxe edition of Lady Gaga’s release of The Fame Monster! Not only am I a huge fan of Lady Gaga, but I’ve had the privilege of photographing her twice. Once at Fame Ball and once at MTV before her very first televised performance at Logo’s NewNowNext Awards. Below are the photos from Fame Ball that were used in this limited edition art book. If you haven’t already checked out Fame Monster, its an amazing album from an very talented musician and performance artist. Also, “Bad Romance” is one of the most visually stunning videos I’ve seen in a very long time.

I love that she wrote about Monster hands on my picture!

I'm thinking about wearing the piece of her wig. What do you think?

Adam Lambert

Robin — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:56:50 +0000

I had the honor of photographing rock star Adam Lambert yesterday and wanted to share a few images before I left for Thanksgiving! Adam is one of my new favorite people. One of the producers brought his three little girls on set and it was so fun to watch Adam interacting with them. When asked about his performance at the American Music Awards, Adam was rightfully unapologetic and spoke about a double standard in music and being gay, male, and a performer. I was obsessed with his metallic nails so I had to take some hand shots! Check out Adam’s new CD, For Your Entertainment.

Tegan and Sara

Robin — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:58:15 +0000

Canadian indie rock/indie pop duo consisting of twins Tegan and Sara just released their newest album, Sainthood and its sooo good.

I really love Tegan and Sara. I love their music and I love their dynamic. Tegan & Sara interviews are hilarious. Their banter on stage is not only part of their performances, it seems to be part of their everyday dynamic as sisters and a band. So when I was offered the chance to take some stills of Tegan and Sara, I snuck in to hear two interviews first. Did not disappoint.

I had a 15 second time slot at MTV to pop off a few shots of the twins against an already set up backdrop before they were whisked away for a series of interviews and shoots that took them from 9 in the morning into the evening. Popular girls.

Phaidra, USA Rugby

Robin — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 02:12:34 +0000

Phaidra Knight is an unbelievably powerful combination of brain, brawn, and sweet Southern charm. One of the best female rugby players in the world today, Phaidra has played on the US Women’s Rugby team for 10 years, competed in two World Cups and earned herself a prestigious spot on the World Team. A former lawyer and a current businesswoman as well as a full time athlete, Phaidra is a force to be reckoned with, but sitting down and talking with her in Carlytron’s backyard, she’s the kind of person you feel like you just want to hug and tell all your secrets to. Her personality, she says, changes when she “hits the pitch.” For as aggressive as she plays on the field (she’s a “Flanker” — one of the stereotypically crazy and on edge players who get to tackle a lot), Phaidra is pretty chill off the field.

I photographed actor Paul Gosselin down in the trendy and fabulous meatpacking district by my new favorite location The High Line. Despite the heat, Paul modeled through it like a champ and a true professional and was tons of fun to work with! Paul’s credits include The Muppet Christmas movie Letters to Santa, Saturday Night Live, Damages, Rescue Me, Bored to Death, As the World Turns, One Life to Live, Guiding Light, and more!
