Matt Kleiner is currently directing RUSTY’S new signature film due out early next year. This short film is made up of just some of the “leftover” clips that the team filmed over a 4 day period while the light and surf was perfect. Man, I wish my leftover clips were this rad! Matt calls this [...]

Adam Taylor is a very talented photographer that I have followed here and there for the past few years. His portfolio has really grown as he has created some fantastic work in his campaign portfolio.

Graffiti-covered walls, derelict operating rooms and spooky wheelchairs ad-nauseum. But every once in awhile, something comes along which [...]

This is a great behind the scenes video from Timothy White as he does the promotional photography for Cowboys and Aliens. I’ll warn you, there’s not much about the technical side of photography, a lot of these shots are done with natural light, but you can see most of his lighting set ups when he [...]
