IndySwank
A few months back, a groovy little boutique called IndySwank, opened up in Fountain Square, a near-downtown area of Indianapolis which is part blue collar neighborhood and part beehive of artistic and creative activity by those who ardently believe in the locale’s imminent recovery and renaissance.

Fall Snacks Feature
So way, way back in August, I shot a fun little feature for Indianapolis Dine. It was all about beer and not-your-typical-run-of-the-mill bar snacks to go along with said beer. We shot all the items in studio first, then took our three models off to The Brass Ring in Fountain Square to do some “action”...
