WHAT’S GOING ON AT CAFEGLOW
So I had this idea… You know what would be cool? If I shot a video that felt like it was playing on an old broken TV set with scanlines and flickering. You know, really lo-fi. So I shot this film with Sophia Santi giving a deep and dark...
If you’ve been watching the poll we posted a few weeks ago on the right side of the pages of CafeGlow you might be surprised. The poll question was “What type of man or woman r u?” And here are the results. Out of 188 votes: Ass...
Venezuelan Playboy model Tatiana is one of those tall brown hotties that wears anything well. I shot with her a while back and released many of the photos on the CafeGlow Tumblr. I put her in a nude fishnet bodysuit and gold accessories. God I love...
First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!! LOL! Today, January 29th 2012 CafeGlow.com turns 1. It has been a long and hard road getting here. This milestone did not come without it’s sacrifices and causalities. I have never shot as much as I shot...
I have started to work on the CafeGlow trailer, Volume 2. It’s a hella daunting task cause that last one did so well, crossing 2.2 million views on vimeo last week http://vimeo.com/18416541. The music is so important to film. Some have even...
I’ve been lucky enough to shoot models all over the world for CafeGlow, not only while traveling but catching some while they are in my neck of the woods. Gabriela is one such model. When I first saw the spread below that Pierre Dal Corso...
Designing covers for my films has been a last and usually enjoyable step in the process. I don’t often have much time to spend on it tho and that has bothered me more and more as the days go by. I hope to one day have real movie posters...
We are nearing our 1 year anniversary and things are looking up. After some server issues near the end of the year we transferred the site to a new host so things should move quicker. We also made quite a few changes to the site to try to make it...
This isn’t one of my usual films… the following took place on a recent trip to New York. I actually stayed in Room 1612. Something about the impossibly small chic hotel rooms and rainy grey afternoons make Manhattan such a romantic place. I...
I don’t often talk about my mistakes, but this one looked so good I thought I’d let you in on it. When styling Davon for our second film together I put her in a semi sheer white top that was long enough (not really) to almost pass as a...
In addition to shooting and editing all the CafeGlow films I also style the girls. It’s one of my favorite parts of the process because I get to dress them the way I want to see them. So much of the success of a film has to do with the way...
I find it really hard to work between the different color or categories of films I’ve setup for CafeGlow. My thought behind including them all was to show that as a photographer/filmmaker what happens in front of the camera is much the...
There has been so much demand for Maycee and Love Hotel that I decided to give it away. That night was magical and I’d like nothing more than for everyone to experience it. You guys have been great to me, posting and reblogging my work...
Shot deep in the rainforest of Oahu Hawaii, BAMBOO follows a native beauty on a journey to ancient ruins. This 3 part film series begins on 11.11.11. I have had a recent streak of travel due to commissions by other companies and in each city I was...
I shot Caroline for this film back at the end of 2009. I was using a different camera and only had one lens and hot light. Back then I was just experimenting with whichever models would allow me to work with them on these types of shoots. It was...
This isn’t one of my usual films… the following took place on a recent trip to Mexico. I actually stayed in Room 2213. This is what happens when you meet a girl in a city you’ve never been to, invite her up to your room for some...
Paz continues to be one of my favorite actresses releasing several great pieces lately that push way past the typical A List boundaries. You really can’t name another working actress that would show you her goods on a regular basis. Maybe Eva...
Kortney Kane returns to the Cafe with this epic shoot that is really the reason why we got together. I remember when we first talked it was all about Sophia Santi, a mutual friend, in Aqua Aura. We talked about how beautiful that film came out and...
Director Chin Man Kei brings to life a tale of jealousy and hedonism in Sex and Chopsticks 2. It took a while for me to actually watch this film because on the face of it it appeared to be really cheesy and I assumed uninspired. I was only half...
I just wanted to take a moment and introduce you to Solo, a new face here at CafeGlow. She is a 5’11 Mongolian model that brings a level of elegance to a film that few can. Besides the sweetest inner beauty she is drop dead gorgeous from head...
Jim Jarmusch crafted an odd and compelling tale of a mysterious loner, a stranger in the process of completing a criminal job. The Limits of Control is super stylish with beautiful post modern interiors that play background to emerald colored suits...
This past weekend Kortney stopped through the cafe for our first shoot together. I gave her the royal treatment with setups that went the distance. She has a long lean frame and brought a lot of style to the table. She has these crazy grey eyes...
It’s been a few months now since CafeGlow has been online. We have worked through most of the kinks and are now releasing a few films every week. So what do you think? Take our quick poll while watching Stacy spin on the pole. Choose your fav...
Make sure you follow us on Twitter for more on our shoots, models and moments that happen behind the scenes. We often post pics there that don’t show up on the blog, like the after effects screenshot above and the preview below from a shoot...
Over the weekend I got to shoot a model I have admired for many years. Melissa is most famous for her work with Met Art And Hegre Art. She hails from Prague in the Czech Republic and has what must be the tiniest most adorable voice you could ever...
Gasper Noe’s Enter The Void is one of those crazy trips you can never get out of your head. It could be the amazing visual treatment that even required an epileptic seizure warning. It could be the impossible camera work that was a...
We’ve been in an animated mood lately, creating a bunch of motion pictures from some of the films we’ve released so far. These little things are kind of addicting and a lite way to show you some of our favorite moments. We remember when...
I wanted to take a second to introduce you to a new face here on CG. You’ll see more of her as we roll out the GREY section of the site next week. She stopped in to create some dreams and we fell in love at first sight. I’m looking...
