It's Not About Pretty

Photography Ian Logan   It always starts with one piece of furniture that you scored on sale… Next thing you know you are totally revamping your entire living room to make the new piece fit perfectly, and look good with everything else. I blame this one on H.D. Buttercup’s Warehouse sale. I had almost gotten out of there free & clear, when my husband spotted a comfy living room chair we just “had to have”, luckily it had a “sold” sticker on it so we dogged that bullet. But right after, I spotted a small couch/love seat for an unbelievable low price, and I knew it had to come home with us. I fully believed it would fit in the spot of an antique chair we were planning on getting rid of, but I was a bit off on that – to say the least. The good thing was, it forced us to really re-think how we viewed our living room. We had been working with the same configuration of furniture for many years, and it was getting a bit boring, to say the lea...

    Huge thanks to Grind TV for featuring my work with Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word on their site this past week for International Women’s Day – that was a huge surprise and so very nice to be featured alongside of Olympic Skier Lindsey Vonn, Pro surfer Sally Fitzgibbons and Olympic snowboarder Hannah Teter.

  I loved getting a chance to write another article for the  espnW website . This time I covered Christin Rose’s new photo project She Plays, We Win, that showcases girls ages 7-15 doing the sports they love. You can see all the girls photos and their inspiring quotes over at espnW . These girls skateboard, surf, do rodeo and even drive race cars. Pretty cool subject for me to get to cover!

  It was absolutely awesome to be hired as the creative director for NUX USA ‘s  Fall 2016 lookbook – and while I can only share this small sneak peek, we had a great team that came together to make this shoot outstanding!  Can’t wait to share the final images soon.   Client:  Nux Athletic Apparel Photographer: Ian Logan Creative Director/Stylist: Cindy Whitehead Make-up Gillian Whitlock Hair: Krista Baxter BTS Video: Colin Clark Web Video Content:  Jesus Esquivel Models: Kym Ellis – Nous Agency & Dounia – Next Agency    

  Had a blast working on the new spring line for Orly Nails. It’s called MELROSE,  so working with fun jewelry from Tarina Tarantino and adding bright pops of color in wardrobe, and accessories made for a awesome day. I like mixing high/low when I style to get the right look – and when you are able to mix patterns and colors that’s even more fun and challenging.   Thanks to the great team at Orly for having me on this one!

  Sometimes when you’re on location you see things in a different way – I have lived and worked up and down the coast of California forever, but on an early morning shoot near La Jolla recently, the colors in the sky were breathtaking and I had to capture a few quick iphone shots before we started our shoot with Asics.
