Aaron and I had met Thomas in Santa Monica ages ago, this is his band. He invited me to come shoot a gig they were doing in Downtown and I totally fell in love with the music. Ive been working with them for awhile now, and I have to say that is it absolutely amazing to be up on stage with them- I get to be a rockstar for a little bit, even if I am just shooting. Its great! On top of the music, these guys are some of the most humblest, great people Ive met. Check them out for yourself! http://www.facebook.com/radiusband?v=info

Gush focuses on depicting the human experience through creating poignant expressive photos of the people he works with. He chooses models that have the ability to be expressive and comfortable in front of the camera, those with open candid emotions that are ready to be photographed. He works within the digital photographic world, preferring the speed of being able to capture a plethora of images, all unique and exact in their own ways.
This trend towards realism encompasses his work with a style that is “very refreshing, kind of edgy, modernistic, but a bit classical at the same time.” He believes the world is already too convoluted with extraneous meanings, and enjoys taking a straight forward approach to his work. He’d like the viewer to enjoy the beauty that is there, and not feel the need to concentrate on what is not.
