•MY NINJA! •

We recently collaborated with our good friend Peterocks of MyNinja! for his Fall video lookbook. I’ve worked on a lot of projects in my day, but my experience working with MyNinja! was probably one of the more unique and fun shoots. It was controlled chaos with dancers, models, rappers, djs, 2 make-up and hair stylists, 2 wardrobe stylists, and lots of friends who just came out to support the brand. Sounds crazy right?
It kinda was, but you had to appreciate it because that is what makes the brand so exciting. Amongst all the streetwear, skate brands and new wave of contemporary brands, very few have been embracing the “fun” part of this creative culture we all live in. I think we all need a little MyNinja! in our lives.
Keep an eye for more MyNinja! projects!
Check out the Video Lookbook!

Long live MyNinja!

•“I Wanna Rock” •

If you’ve been following our facebook and tweets you’d know that we’ve been hanging out on the set of Snoop Dogg’s “Malice and Wonderland.” Our good friend Erick Peyton is director on the project and he asked us to come through to keep him company and take a few photos. Unfortunately, we can’t release the behind the scenes photos until the release in December, in the meantime, you can enjoy the first music video from the project.
Make sure to look for our good friends Far East Movement!

Great job EP! Can’t wait to see the film.

•LOVEWRIGHT CO. •

Heading down south to see the S.D. family is always a treat for us at TST. Shoot, drink and eat. Good times.
Between their daily gigs at ES and Alphanumeric, Danny and Shawn have been grinding away making Lovewright bigger and more developed. Very rarely do you find a brand that has great designs for each and every piece they put out. We always look forward to each season dropping and this coming Spring and Fall is no exception.
Stay tuned for our recent lookbook and video lookbook shoot!

Amazing video.

•Square One •

Our good friend Yoshi (Drifter/SquareOne) came through the studio to shoot Drifter’s new line Square One. It’s always great to work with someone who genuinely enjoys what he does… it keeps the vibe mellow and creative.
Always a pleasure Yoshi.

•State of Tomorrow •

During the last year, we’ve had the pleasure of working with some great art directors. Michael Myers and the State of Tomorrow crew are definitely one of those creative teams we’ve enjoyed working with. We recently had the chance to shoot some great concepts for their client PacSun.
Check out a couple shots from the PacSun Magazine and their impressive online venture www.astoryontheweb.com . Make sure to check them out!

•ALYCIA •

A few months back we had the pleasure of shooting Alycia of “Daddy’s Girl” fame.
Originally from Northern Cali, Alycia moved to L.A. to pursue her singing career and not acting, as ironic as it sounds. Her face is more recognizable than her voice, but that will all change very soon. Look out for her new album releasing soon. She is working with the MIDI Mafia crew who created hits like “21 Questions” for 50 Cent.

Check out the day with Alycia and Lanie of Hellz-Bellz who was nice enough to style the shoot. Enjoy.
