As promised and mentioned last night I had the pleasure of shooting the PHILTH FEENS “ALL GLOWN UP Vol. 2” party… Definitely the MOST fun I’ve had at a party in a long long time… There was a lot of energy all over the place and it was all cool… here are a few flicks… there rest are here.

Just Left the PHILTH FEENS “ALL GLOWN UP” party Pics’ll be up in a JIFFY… I had a blast! Best time I’ve had at a party in awhile!

…all of the videos that I’ve shot have been heavily inspired by music and mostly promotional, but this is the first time that footage shot from Compulsion has been used for an actual music video. As I’ve mentioned previously, Philadelphia is brimming with a powderkeg like EDM scene that’s been steadily moving from basement parties into the public consciousness…

~NeRo | PhiLLy | 3/30/12~

I’ve been a maniac for NeRo since the first three minutes of their Essential Mix for the BBC.  I was just getting into dubstep really heavy then, hitting up bassment parties on the regular and taking photographs for local djs. I even used that first three minutes for the first CompuLsioN (an indoor street art party that features dubstep djs) slideshow. You can see it here. That very same night I met legend in the making, dj, and street artist GetUp. Last night NeRo, the dynamic EDM duo played the ElecTriC FacToRy here in Philly… The show was epic. The stage was amazing! And I’m certain I probably never want to hear dubstep again unless its on speakers bigger than my bedroom. Listening to EDM at a venue this huge (my first time) is a MUST for any fan of EDM. Even as the photographer who took these photos I have to say that I didn’t do them justice… But I tried my very best WHILE trying to thrash and enjoy some of my favorite music of 2011. 

This was ALL made possible by the very generous GetUP, please check out his page and cop some of this dude’s art, its really dope..! Thanks my dude, I’m ETERNALLY grateful.

I hope you enjoy the photos.

…worked with local designers Chrisida Kahlo and Kitakiya Dennis, creators of Crochet Hermit Accessories and Intuitive Creations respectively with some accessories from the Compulsion brand by feyasterlinginc… great shoot with one of my favorite models Jaz Amber and new model Mel Housin. More photos can be found on facebook.

In an undisclosed location, in an unspecified time…

Created by R.P., The AfroFuturist Affair, in Philly over the Halloween weekend spawned a ripple effect of creative opportunities and an awareness around the AfroFuturist aesthetic that did not exist prior to its creation…

Weeks before the event we met up with models Andromeda Skyy & Jaz Amber for a shoot to promote the show. The shoot would be published in the first issue of TLW an alt-cult mag aimed at exposing abstract, underground and little-known art, philosophy and ideas thru a wickedly intelligent and comedic lens… The L.Park ProJecT & DiLo DeMille, teamed up with designer feyasterling to bring you our version of beauty in a semi apocalyptic future… To learn more about the people who put this together be sure to follow the links leading to their sites…

Everyone knows that the city of Philadelphia has as many creative and beautiful people in it as there are beautiful places to take photographs. On a cold day in December on her birthday weekend I met up with Zunyda, a student & local painter from NJ, & her companion Kenzie, poet, artist, student. 

In the end we photographed in some pretty familiar Philly sights… The aim was to give them a different “look” without going thru any intense effort to change the surroundings… here’s a handful of looks from the shoot… enjoy… and share with your friends… 

…this is ONE photo from my very first REAL photoshoot with models… for the TLW Magazine and the AfroFuturist Affair…

Power in the hands of the reformer is no less potentially corrupting than in the hands of the oppressor.
Some photos from day one at Occupy PhiLLy. A movement that as of now 10:04pm Friday night has been co-opted and coddled by the shrewd negotiations of Mayor Nutter and the Philadelphia local gov’t, in an effort to the city a “national peaceful model for peaceful protest”… 
A projection screen showing the Phillies game is a wonderful way of showing solidarity with our brethren the globe over that we are in this struggle with them and bringing attention to the issues that plague our area of the world.
