Journal Page: Kristen Bell & Kim Smith
Kim Smith is a former Guess? Jeans/ Victoria’s Secret model originally from Texas who I was shooting for the cover of a NY magazine. We were shooting in an old motel on the Venice Beach boardwalk. We were having a ton of trouble with the stylist that day and when we got to the cover try at the end of the day (I won’t ever do that again) We were at each others throat. The stylist...

Meg Ryan

Joel McHale and Gillian Jacobs
This is a shot that just came out in the new issue of BlackBook magazine. Mr. McHale (besides being hilarious for the last 5 years on The Soup)stars with Gillan Jacobs on the great new TV show COMMUNITY on NBC. The magazine said the issue was the “spotlight” issue, so, every picture had to in some fashion incorporate a spotlight effect. I wanted to do something funny and goofier...
