Cisco's House - Live Broadcasting

2011-10-07T00:17:00.000-07:00

Have you checked out Cisco's House yet? ...Cisco Adler's live broadcast on stickam.com every Wednesday at 7P west-coast-time. This show is a classic, must-see. I will be taking BTS photos at every broadcast from now until whenever, along with some killer portraits of everyone who graces Cisco's House with their presence. I will be turning this into a coffee table book.

Here are the first set of images. I want your feedback. Tell me what you think.

Seriously, tune in to chat with Cisco and the boys, listen to some live music, get the skinny on what's hot in the world of CISCO, and interact in real-time with Cisco's guests - some of the gnarliest names in music, fashion, art, and action sports.

Once again, thanks to everyone who helped on this project. Keep your eyes peeled because there's a lot more to come.

Live Every Wednesday at 7pm west cost time.

T-Shirt Line

2010-11-16T08:36:00.000-08:00

Hildebrand Photography T-Shirt Line:
A good friend and pro surfer Anthony Petruso came to me one day and told me I should print my photos on to t-shirts. We sat down and talked about it and went through so many photos to figure out where to start. We picked two photos and printed our first line of t-shirts. My mom loved my new project and is now a 20% partner.

Here are the first round of t-shirts. Make your purchase today.

About the Shirts:The shirts run a little small. If your a large you may want to get an Xlarge.
They are printed on Alternative Appeal 100% cotton.

Tanya Radulovich is the model on the first shirt we printed. I shot this photo in downtown Los Angeles, CA over looking the city. Tanya has been modeling on and off in Los Angeles. Tanya has been a very close friend of mine for years and I always love shooting her.

Jesse Jo Spark is another very close friend who we thought would make a killer shirt. Jess has her hands is a couple different things. She may be young but that hasn't stopped her. Jesse is a head designer at Chrome Hearts, designs for Vans, and she is also making her mark in the music business. You can learn more about her at http://www.jessejostark.com

The 4th Annual Malibu Invitational

2010-09-03T19:13:00.000-07:00

The 4th Annual Malibu Invitational went down August 27th and 28th to help raise money for a great local charity Therasurf. All the proceeds this weekend went to TheraSURF including our Malibu Invitational Champion Dillon Perillo who donated his winnings. The weekend was amazing filled with great surfing, great people, and an emotional TheraSURF free surf and awards ceremony that had the whole beach in tears. Jimmy and Kim you are doing an amazing thing by bringing those big smiles to all those kids faces as well as to the faces of their friends and families. We need more people like you two in this world.

I have been a big part of this event since the start 4 years ago and it gets better each year. I took some photos of the event, surfing, beach, events etc. I hope this story is seen my thousands to spread the word.

TheraSURF is born by Jimmy Gamboa and his wife Kim with the help of their friends and family. TheraSURF helps heal children with special needs by taking them into the ocean to catch some waves. TheraSURF focuses a close attention to the intimate involvement with each kid and their families and close friends so all can share in the healing of the ocean together. There is nothing stronger than family and friends and to incorporate that with the power of surfing is an unbelievable experience and a sure thing.
If you would like to make a donation please contact therasurf@gmail.com.

"HEARTBROKEN"

The other day I did this shoot with model Alexandra Papdopoulos at a local motel in Malibu, CA. Keegan Gibbs and I worked together on this project. Keegan helped with the story line of the project and also shot the video. We shot this more like a voyeur style shoot. Really wanting to capture her natural emotions, movements and energy. We wanted to be like fly’s on the wall when shooting.

Motivation: A heartbroken 20-something damsel in distress checks into a hotel shortly after abruptly breaking up with her teen-love boyfriend of 5 years, looking to shave herself from her old identity of being “his girlfriend.”

One of my favorite shoots to date for sure. Working with Alex was nothing less than professional. She was onetime, ready to work, artistic, and really played the part of a heartbroken girl perfectly. Looking forward to shooting with Alex more.

Here are some of the images from the shoot, to view the final picks check out my website http://www.johnhildebrand.com

Would love to hear from you about this shoot. Let me know what you think.

Anti-Paparazzi Bill - Vote YES on AB 2479.

2010-08-26T09:11:00.000-07:00

Repost this everywhere, twitter, blogs, facebook, etc.

Did you see the front page of the LA Times website talking about our anti-paparazzi bill? http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-paparazzi-20100826,0,2713334.story

The anti-paparazzi bill that we’ve been working on since last November is finally going up for a vote in the California Senate on Thursday, August 26th, 2010 – some time during the day.

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG), the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence and the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office are all in support of the bill along with the Paparazzi Reform Initiative.

However, the bill is definitely not assured to pass. Some Senators who have never even seen a paparazzo may not understand the danger and mental anguish they can cause.

It is important that we call and email all the Senators we can to encourage them to vote YES on AB 2479.

We don’t have to contact them all. We’ve made a list of the ones that may need the most encouragement along with their email address and some phone number.

The Senators do monitor how many calls and emails they get. They really do listen. We have a chance to get this bill passed which will put stiffer penalties in place for paparazzi who chase people in cars – and even more severe penalties if they chase someone in a car that has a child in it.

Please help. Send as many emails and make as many calls as you can. If you have staff, please have them all do the same. I will send out an email letting you know if the bill passed or failed as soon as it happens. So until you hear from me, assume the vote hasn’t taken place and keep calling and emailing.

Let’s get this important bill passed and turned into law! Let’s help those who are chased in cars – especially the kids.

Go here for the list of Senators to contact: http://www.paparazzi-reform.org/ab2479/

Even if you don’t live in California, contact them anyway!! They need to know people care about this issue.

Thank you!

**** I made it simple for everyone and copied the emails right here. Just copy all these emails and send them out ASAP***
Senator.Ashburn@senate.ca.gov, Senator.Cogdill@senate.ca.gov, Senator.Corbett@senate.ca.gov, Senator.Denham@senate.ca.gov, Senator.DeSaulnier@senate.ca.gov, Senator.Florez@senate.ca.gov, Senator.Hancock@senate.ca.gov, Senator.Leno@senate.ca.gov, Senator.Runner@senate.ca.gov, Senator.Simitian@senate.ca.gov, Senator.Steinberg@senate.ca.gov, Senator.Wiggins@senate.ca.gov, Senator.Wolk@senate.ca.gov, Senator.Yee@senate.ca.gov, Senator.Alquist@senate.ca.gov,Senator.Aanestad@senate.ca.gov

Tracey Chaplin, Mindful

2010-07-30T13:11:00.000-07:00

Tracey Chaplin, Mindful

Mindful: attentive, aware, or careful (usually fol. by of ): mindful of one's responsibilities.

The other day I did a shoot with Tracey Chaplin who now lives in Malibu, CA. Tracey has only lived in LA area for about 1 year now. When I first saw her I said is that Paris Hilton? Of course it wasn't but when talking with her she told me she gets that all the time. I totally couldn't wait to take some photos of her. Here are some of the photos we took the other day.

These images I wanted to just keep it super simple and raw. Wanted to see how she moves in-front of the camera. I shot this with one light right next to camera.

Would love your feedback or thoughts. Tell me what you think

CBVA-AVP Qualification Tournament July 24-25 in Zuma Beach

2010-07-27T15:06:00.000-07:00

The Greek American beach volleyball players, Christina Hinds (facebook link) and JoAnna Papageorgiou (facebook link), competed in the CBVA-AVP qualification tournament July 24-25 in Zuma Beach. The two are preparing to play on the international beach volleyball circuit where Olympic qualification takes place. The beautiful US beaches with the solid American competition and fabulous friend and family support are the ideal location for them to prepare for their Olympic goals of qualifying for the 2012 Olympics in Beach Volleyball, representing Greece.

Christina and I have been friends for over 10 years now and this weekend I meet JoAnna. Both these girls together make such a powerful team. They are trying to raise money so they can practice, travel and make it to the 2012 Olympics.

I never shot beach volleyball before, wow very changeling. I don't really know to much about the sport myself but that these girls are super fast. Trying to following them with my camera to capture the right movements was some work for sure. As a photographer is so great to push yourself and shoot something outside your confront level. Hope you guys like these shots.

This is JoAnna

The is Christina Hinds

Ok really hows that so sick

Another Greek coming down to help the girls last minute couching. Thanks for your support

George.
