Bradley Denniston: Musical and Photogenic

, , , , ,

Bradley Denniston is an audio engineer and singer/song writer. When it comes to audio, there is nothing he can’t do. Plus in addition to all that, he’s also very photogenic.

On top of his solo pop music career, he’s also worked on the music for a ton of movies and TV shows that you’ve probably seen. Including: Thor Ragnarok, Cannon Busters, The Lego Movie, The Lego Ninja Movie, Abstract: The Art of Design, Beatriz at Dinner, Pitch Perfect 2, Vacation, Hotel Transylvania 2, and 22 Jump Street. (Just to name a few)

For these photos, Bradley and I got together and shot at a photo studio in Los Angeles from the afternoon into sunset.

You can stream Bradley Denniston’s solo pop music on Apple Music and Spotify (And all other streaming networks)

My four current favorite tracks by him are currently “Stolen Love” “Stars” “Haunted by You” and “Reflection”

More fleeting than you think

, , ,

One of the biggest misconceptions and mistakes I see, is how much the thought of social recognition, the thought of being famous, drives people.

Fame drives some people so much they are blinded by it. It can affect them in a variety of ways, and of course it can affect the work that person produces during their life.

Here’s the thing about fame though, it is extremely fleeting.

In fact, it’s so fleeting, that there is basically no world where the pursuit of fame is worth it.

The pursuit of becoming famous, generally, requires a tremendous amount of energy, work and luck. But even when everything falls into place, the rate that fame disappears is extremely fast.

Let’s look at 90s boy bands. The 90s were 30 years ago now. The Backstreet Boys, N Sync, 98 degrees, etc.. These boy bands had multiple members each, and each band was huge. They were at the top of the music game. Doing world tours and they had fans in various countries around the globe. But now? If you saw any member from any one of these bands, besides Justin Timberlake, would you recognize them? Probably not. And that was only 30 years ago.

Fleeting like snow

Let’s go back further and look at Hollywood.

Here is the wikipedia description for the actor “Clark Gable”

“William Clark Gable (February 1, 1901 – November 16, 1960) was an American film actor. Often referred to as the "King of Hollywood"he had roles in more than 60 motion pictures in a variety of genres during a career that lasted 37 years, three decades of which was as a leading man. He was named the seventh greatest male movie star of classic American cinema by the American Film Institute.” (Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark_Gable )

The KING OF HOLLYWOOD. Does it get more famous than that? And now just a few decades later, the vast majority of people haven’t even heard of him. He was the fucking king of Hollywood. So it’s just comical to me that there are so many people constantly striving for fame, when even if they achieve it, even if they become a star so big they earn an awesome nickname like the king of Hollywood, they’ll be forgotten just a short while later.

You’ll eventually pass a mountain range as you drive by.

This post isn’t meant to bum you out, it’s just an observation. It’s a good thing to keep in mind.

Till next time,

Kitty Cam Time in Downtown LA

, , , , , ,

Kitty Cam Time is a model and adult film star. She and I created these various stills at 2 different photo studios in the downtown Los Angeles area.

Kitty Cam has a great sense of style and brought a bunch of fun outfits and wigs with her. For this fit below, we channeled Harley Quinn and Alicia Silverstone from Clueless.

Shooting with Kitty Cam is a blast. She always knows how to work various expressions and emotions that light up the camera.

You can find her work on the internet by typing her stage name into google, and you can follow her on IG here.
