Sunrise Magic with Nour Elise

Early morning photo-session with wonderful Nour Elise in Tulum, Mexico.  


Bobby Klein Over the Years

How much time did we spend like this, hanging out, playing with the cameras, shooting the shit… At your house or the office, in the jungle or the beach, we were just two kindred soul photographers who shared the same roots and stories from the edge. It’s been a few days since your departure and […]


Catching Up with Janis White

Janis is a fabulous red-headed Mexican power-woman entrepreneur who came to me wanting some ‘corporate pictures’ honoring her unique Tulum lifestyle and featuring a few products from her company CBDbies. We did what we do best – work on the beach!    


Summit Tulum 2019

Such an honor and a pleasure to photograph the inspiring Summit conference in Tulum once again this year.  


Micca Mont: El Camino

Last month my production company Modern Maya produced a music video for electronic musician/producer Micca Mont‘s new single ‘El Camino’. We filmed in three beautiful locations scattered throughout Yucatan peninsula and while shooting in the pink lagoons of Las Coloradas I also ended up snapping a few quick impromptu shots, supporting one very prophetic photo we […]

Movida Maya: Teaching Photography Workshop

Photography Workshop ‘Images and Identity’ When Tulum’s local NGO Movida Maya invited me to lead the ‘Images and Identity’ photography workshop with Mayan teenagers in Mexico’s indigenous fringe community Chumpón, Quintana Roo, I was humbled because the reality of these kids’ daily life challenges made my own current problems fade in comparison. Yet as soon as […]


Faces of Zamas

To say that Zamas Hotel is just a client would be a huge understatement. Over the course of my photographer-in-residence assignment with this legendary boutique hotel in Tulum, Mexico, the family who owns the place has truly become like my own family. Each one of these portraits brings a smile and a special memory and […]


Zamas Hotel Guest Chef Series: Tulum, Mexico

Certainly one of the best perks during my photographer-in-residence gig at Zamas Hotel was meeting all the wonderful guest chefs and photographing (ahem, tasting!) their food. Can I please return for another season?!  


Sounds and Yoga: Sanara, Tulum

One gorgeous day, from sunrise until dark, I immersed myself into the world of Tulum’s lovely Milano-born eco-glamorous sound therapist and yoga teacher Alessandra Montana. We spent the day between the beach and Sanara Hotel’s beautiful yoga studio shooting and playing with Ale’s impressive collection of frequency instruments. The moonlit sound healing session at the […]


Live from Zamas: Tulum, Mexico

For 25+ years, from the beginning of its operation in Tulum, Zamas Hotel‘s live stage has been home to local and passing musicians from all over the world. It’s nice to know that some things never change and that almost every night in our special corner of the planet one can count on an understated […]


LS:N Global / The Future Laboratory: Mexican Luxurians

I was hired by The Future Laboratory’s LS:N Global division in London to photograph two of Mexico’s featured personalities from Tulum and Monterrey for their ‘Mexican Luxurians’ consumer luxury report. What made the shoot serendipitously surreal was that one of these featured personalities turned out to be my old friend from Tulum JP. Small world, […]

This was an intense little production… Daniele Negrete directing new music video for Micca’s single ‘Blind.’ Me volunteering to shoot second camera. Only two days to plan.

Micca Unleashed

Congratulations to my dear friend Micca with release of her first album Looking Up. I’m doubly proud not only because I love the work, but also because shooting album cover art was our first mutual collaboration together in studio. With so much gratitude for our friendship and creative partnership, I’m happy to present below photos documenting […]


Beachside Dancer

One of the best things about my work is an opportunity to reveal through images truly unique and beautiful souls from around the world. Enormous gratitude to this lovely actor/dancer from London, Dasha, who reminded me what it’s like to dance with your heart.


Sixth Street Specials: For the Love of Bikes

If like me anyone out there is experiencing serious withdrawal pains from the recently completed 2012 Summer Olympics in London, I invite you to consider this story as a kind of an anglophile placebo. Its subject is gritty and unusual, related to England by way of forever-cool and classic English bikes. What I’m talking about […]


Behind the Scenes with Sandro and Steppenwolf

Passing through Chicago earlier this summer, I was graced with a sudden opportunity to spend time on set of one of the most wonderful photographers in the world – Sandro Miller. Sandro was shooting the 2012/13 Season campaign images for the renowned Steppenwolf Theater that week and invited me to his studio to be part […]

Last week in New York City it was my pleasure to participate in The Impossible Project’s 8×10 Polaroid film tests conducted by one of image-making world’s true visual poets – photographer Bill Phelps. This post is about how it all became possible. The Impossible Project story began in October 2008, after Polaroid announced it would stop […]
