This might be a little much for some folks, but over here at Verdict Studios we love the weird stuff! Check out UK photog Danielle Tunstall if you're into the slightly darker stuff. This chick brings it.

CHECK THIS ARTIST: WARWICK SAINT

Do yourself a favor and check out the work of self-taught, industry leading photog Warwick Saint. The dude has shot Lady Gaga's album cover, many many tattooed ladies, and tons of other amzing stuff. Did I mention he was self-taught?...Yep.

Coming live and direct out of Bulgaria,  Adriana Gerasimova and the AddMinimal crew put out some trippy, fashion-based stuff. Check it.

CHECK THIS: RECYCLED FASHION

Three things I like: Purdy ladies, fashion, and being good to the environment. Lucky for me Amy M. Phillips and Fairlight Hubbard have combined all three. The creative forces behind Eye Management, these two are good for the bottle and good for the can.

VERDICT WORK: SURFER CHICK

This shot is actually a Verdict throwback, but a bad-ass shot none the less. Photographed on San Fran's Ocean Beach, my model was more than game to get her toes wet. Shot with a large octobox (left) and on camera fill (right) shows that simplicity still looks good.

VISUAL STIMULI: GILLES ET DADA

I'm all about cool imagery and Gilles and Dada are bringing the heat. I'm not much of a fashion guy, but I like what's going on here. If you're not familiar with the Dada movement check out my man Tristan Tzara...way ahead of his time.

CHECK THIS ARTIST: LUCYNA DANUTA BAKOWSKA

Canadian fashion photog Lucyna Danuta Bakowska may have a tongue twister for a name, but be careful, her work will rattle your brain too...check her out for sure!

VISUAL STIMULI: GARY PEPPER VINTAGE

An afternoon with Gary Pepper Vintage from Chad Waldron on Vimeo.

With more fusion projects going on in the world of photography, us photogs have to stay ahead of the game. The good people at Gary Pepper Vintage are...check out their video catalogue shoot. 

CHECK THIS ARTIST: ACHIM LIPPOTH

Weird, striking, and probably a bunch of other things, too!...but, I like. Check out German photog Achim Lippoth to see more interesting work.

CHECK THIS ARTIST: JOANNA KUSTRA

Modeled after old school paintings, a new series by London based photog Joanna Kustra caught my eye. Producing beautiful images all while pushing the limits...bravo.

CHECK THIS ARTIST: DYLAN MADDUX

Check out fellow SF photog Dylan Maddux. Dude has an edgy style and brings it with the camera.

VERDICT WORK: UNITED STREETS OF FASHION

On Saturday June 19th I had the privilege of being one of the photogs on hand for the San Francisco Art Institute's Spring fashion show. Entitled 'United Streets of Fashion,' the night showcased the best and brightest of their designers' work. Above is some of mine...and theirs.

VERDICT WORK: INKED UP

-Verdict Photography

Another recent test shoot turned up a few cool pics. I like this one of Model Alex looking tough for the camera. She was actually really really nice...
