Nadastrom at Grand Central 2-18-12

noreply@blogger.com (Alex Markow) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 06:01:00 +0000

Miami, FL- Here are some photos from my night out at Grand Central with Nadastrom performing. It was actually my first time bring a camera into the venue. I didn't want my camera to prevent me from dancing so I kept it light and brought my camera and just my 35mm 1.8 lens. Not on assignment or anything, it was one of those nights where I have a drink in one hand and my camera in the other. I had a great time and Nadastrom played a great set.

Jonny Lyrks "Words from the Burbs 2.0" Mixtape cover

noreply@blogger.com (Alex Markow) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:29:00 +0000

Words from the Burbs 2.0 is now out and you can go download it over at Hot New Hip Hop. I continued the visual theme of the first mixtape cover I did with Lyrks. We actually shot this just outside of my house. I also took care of the graphic design. Check out the music video I did for "Pardon the Smell".

Tuscon Saddletramps vs Gold Coast Derby Grrls

noreply@blogger.com (Alex Markow) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:30:00 +0000

Lake Worth, FL- Roller derby is for real. There's a league, official referees, and fans to support. Competition is fierce. I kind of have an idea of how it is played, but even if you don't know, it is still an entertaining sport to watch. It's cool how the eccentricity of the sports brings together all sorts of people. There were even guys tailgating! Check out the full gallery over at New Times.

Ladies Day at Gulfstream Racetrack

noreply@blogger.com (Alex Markow) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:09:00 +0000

Hallandale, FL- It was really interesting to me to see all the different type of people that enjoy horse racing. To me it is such a foreign thing. I spent a lot of time at the track just walking around and observing people. I tried to capture the unique people that caught my attention that day. Sometime when I see someone interesting I try to think about where they come from, possibly what they do, stuff like that. Here is a guy that really caught my attention. His jacket, his old face, him smoking a cigarette. I could imagine his raspy voice talking about the old glory days of horse racing. "Ya know kid, back in the day....." This guy looked like he lived at the racetrack.

You can see the rest of the images over at the new and improved slideshow over at Broward Palm Beach New Times.

Flagler Beach, FL- Here is a video I put together from my trip with my friend Mark Kincaid to his hometown of Flagler Beach and also for his gig at Raindance in New Smyrna. I actually got to DJ for a little bit too.

Here are some stills, with some being incorporated into the video.

Hollywood, FL- Broward Palm Beach New Times seems to like assigning me to photograph the fetish parties they cover. This time the theme was dark carnival. Here's a photo that didn't make their edit that I love. Check out the full slideshow.

Art Basel: Bloo Zoo

noreply@blogger.com (Alex Markow) — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 22:39:00 +0000

After spending three days working for World Redeye covering Art Basel I was able to take Saturday off and along with my friend Mark Kincaid, I got to DJ at Bloo Zoo in Wynwood. It was my first official DJ gig and I was stoked for all my friends to come out. Of course I took photos of the event and my adventures to other galleries. I also had my MONOTONY KILLS piece up for display.

Keep up with my music happenings over at Quite Legendary.

Boca Raton, FL- It was good to catch up with the guys of Le Blorr during their show at the Funky Buddha last night. The guys have been super busy touring and have been working on some new material. Some new tunes will be coming soon. I've also started a music blog called Quite Legendary and have posted some music from the guys so check it out!

Black Star at the Miami Fillmore

noreply@blogger.com (Alex Markow) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 01:39:00 +0000

Miami Beach, FL- I can't tell you how many hip hop shows I have been to that just weren't worth it. A good hip hop show has to be more then someone rapping over a beat. Black Star definitely delivered. With their DJ, J Rocc, orchestrating the beats perfectly, Talib Kweli and Mos Def (now known as Yassin Bey) showed Miami what a good hip hop show is like. You could tell the guys really enjoyed performing together and their chemistry showed it. Here are my favorites from the show, which was opened by Black Rob.

The Heavy Pets Album Release Show at The Stage 10-22-11

noreply@blogger.com (Alex Markow) — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 12:09:00 +0000

A few weeks ago, I photographed The Heavy Pets "Swim Out Past The Sun" album release show at The Stage. It was my first time going to The Stage and it was good to check out a new place. The Heavy Pets always put on a good show. Check them out over at their website. Here are my favorites from the night.

We also took some group shots before the show.

Video: Jonny Lyrks "Pardon the Smell"

noreply@blogger.com (Alex Markow) — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 19:40:00 +0000

Here is my first music video. It's for the second track from Jonny Lyrks off of his mixtape "Words from the Burbs 2.0". This video was shot as I tagged along with Lyrks and Mark Kincaid to Mark's show at Lynn Radio. I took almost 1500 still images during the day. I was able to sequence everything in Lightroom first, then in Premier, all I really had to worry about was adding text and transitions. It's cool to finally make my first video.

BTS: Anjelica Martinez Stalker Editorial

noreply@blogger.com (Alex Markow) — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 04:11:00 +0000

Miami Beach, FL- Here are some behind the scenes photos from when I assisted photographer Anjelica Martinez for her Stalker editorial in the Miami Design District Magazine's Fall 2011 Issue. The editorial was photographed at the Breakwater Hotel in South Beach.

Plymouth Rock

noreply@blogger.com (Alex Markow) — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:28:00 +0000

Plymouth, MA- During the weekend in Massachusetts for my Grandma's 80th Birthday, a bunch of my family and I played tourist and went to Plymouth Rock. The weather was awesome and it was a nice walk along on the water. The whole idea of Plymouth Rock kind of amuses me. It is the most ordinary looking rock, just really big. You can only look at a rock for so long.

Grandma's 80th Birthday

noreply@blogger.com (Alex Markow) — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 18:52:00 +0000

Plymouth, Massachusetts- This past weekend I visited family in Massachusetts for my grandma's 80th birthday. It's always good to catch up with family and it feels good to be able to give back with my photography.

That lady's 80!

It was great weather for the party at Plymouth Plantation. We've definitely got a big family!

Here are my favorites from the day.

Zeds Dead, Caligula, Juan Basshed, and Atralis at Miami Fillmore 9-2-11

noreply@blogger.com (Alex Markow) — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 16:57:00 +0000

Miami Beach, FL- I've been to a few dubstep shows in my day and the Zeds Dead show is definitely one of the best I've been too. The sound was on point and the bass was wompy. Check out the review Mark Kincaid did for SFL Music Magazine.

While covering the Endless Night Vampire Ball for New Times, I pulled aside one of the dancers for a quick little shoot. Overall the night was very interesting with some crazy costumes. Check out the full slideshow over at New Times.

Lynn Radio: Mark Kincaid

noreply@blogger.com (Alex Markow) — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 00:24:00 +0000

I tagged along with my friend and dj Mark Kincaid for his radio show at Lynn University's Knight Radio. You can tune into his live sets Tuesday 5-7pm and Thursday 3-6pm eastern time. You can also listen to some of his mixes over at his Soundcloud

We took a couple photos on the way out for him to use for promotion. The statues of people are part of a scene of a group of people taking a picture for an actual photographer statue. I thought it was weird that they are looking different directions.

noreply@blogger.com (Alex Markow) — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 02:43:00 +0000

This is my second post on a personal project photographing people in the middle of a street they are attached to. For more on the project and to see my first post, check out Kiersten. Here is my favorite image of Summer in the middle of A1A at Sunrise Blvd in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Here is an additional one we did on the sidewalk.

How can you not take pictures of the sunrise? I would love to print this huge

Here are my favorite from a recent test shoot with model Alexandra Victoria. It was good to get back in the studio and work on some creative lighting set ups. Make up by Krystal Taylor and hair by Tenisha Rowan

Birdhouse Miami to NYC Skate Tour

noreply@blogger.com (Alex Markow) — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 18:18:00 +0000

On a recent assignment from New Times, I got the chance to meet Tony Hawk on his Birdhouse Miami to NYC Skate Tour. Unfortunately I missed the demo by the pros, but was able to get some behind the scenes photos of the guys hanging out. A guy known as Funky added to his autograph collection by having the skate pros tattoo their signature on his back. "Funky" supposedly has the record for tattooed autographs. Check out the full slideshow over at New Times.
