Analogue With Jessica Luminarra | A Collection Of Polaroids

It has been too long.

The last time I saw my friend Jessica was almost a year ago. Which is virtually unacceptable because she lives not but thirty miles away in the valley. Now, with that said, we have opposing schedules and it also adds to it that she does not have a car. The Uber/Lyft life.

We were suppose to get together in the early afternoon the previous week but traffic was horrendous and so were the fares. We tabled the idea and held it off for the ne...

Analogue With Kyle | A Collection Of Polaroids

There is something special about meeting someone for the first time after establishing a friendship with them over the internet. Kyle and I have followed one another for several months now and I was elated that she was finally able to get out to California for a vacation and a trip to my studio.

Since my Sigma 50mm 1.4A is currently broken and I still have yet to send it into Sigma for repair, we had to stick to analogue. Some 120 through my Mamiya m645 and of course, Polaroi...

A Brief Inquiry Into A Long Time Away

Don't worry, I will never be saying farewell to Patreon.

The month of April has been the craziest month of my life recently. Endless changes, disruptions to my routines and a wrench thrown into my 'free time', as if I had any.

As most of you know, I work a day job. I am a manager at a cannabis dispensary here in California. Over the past year my title has been the Co-Manager of Operations, working in Beverly Hills. My job entails keeping the business complian...

Analogue With Miki Hamano | A Collection Of Polaroids

I have lived two doors down from Miki for over a year and this is the first time I have every asked her to step in front of my cameras for me. A year too long, but a special occasion. The first test of my new SLR680.

I recently purchased a completely refurbished and mint condition Polaroid SLR680 from my friend Chris. In hindsight, he mildly baited me into buying it; which I cannot say I am mad about in the least. One day while I was at work I opening up my phone to a text fr...

Preview | Bleached | A Collection Of FP-100C Negatives

I have taken it upon myself to go through the archives of endless FP-100C Negatives and began recovering many. The process if therapeutic to me, but it is also taxing and time consuming from the actually recover process to scanning and color balancing. It was definitely a 'blast from the past', if you will. Going through these old recoveries brought back many memories of previous trips and wonders. All of these negatives will be going live today at 2P.M. on 'The Nostalgia' tier. Over thirty s...

A Distant Trip In The Past

Sometimes I go scrolling through the archives of images I have. Many of the looks that I had shot with Reed on past trips remain unedited, not for any reason besides a forgetful mind. I found these couple images from a trip to Portland, Oregon and had to edit them. More coming soon. Enjoy!

Only Her With Chelsea Gabriellee

For the last couple years Chelsea and I have lived not but a few miles apart from one another, but we seldom get to see one another. Our opposing hectic work schedules, a pandemic and life in general has kept us from getting together and shooting once more since the first time we did almost four years ago. We finally made it happen and I am so glad I was able to shoot her for this series.

I typically like a contrasting outfit for this series, deeper colors or black, but this ...

Jeans With Planet Sleaze

This series has come to the point that I have people requesting to be apart of it, which makes me elated. I sometimes stop and think about this series and how it could come off as mundane and repetitive to some. However, I then think about the love I receive for this series as well as ladies requesting to be photographed for it and that ultimately resets my thoughts on it.

When I asked Mac to be a part of this series, I was hesitant in the initial question because she does no...

Looks That Could Kill With Mara Ohara

Oh, how I love photographing this woman. It had been a long while since the last time Mara stepped in front of my cameras, but that recently changed.

It was not just awhile since Mara has posed for me, but it had been awhile since I had even seen her. When she arrived to my studio, there was a pleasant surprise as well, she brought Bones. I have a special connection with Bones as I have dog sat for Mara several times, Bones is one of my favorite pups as well as Kylea's. Bones...

Analogue With Mia Valentine | A Collection Of Polaroids

The first ting that comes to mind posting this is that I will be saddened the day Mia leaves Los Angeles and moved on to her next city. This is the second time Mia and I have shot, hopefully it will not be the last before she is thousands of miles away.

We planned this shoot not but two days before today. I asked her if she would like to shoot for my series' and she said "What are they? Regardless what they are, Yes!" It is always delightful to have such amazing friends that ...

Jeans With Christina Garcia

I will keep this short and sweet. Mainly because I am within the last few minutes before having to leave for work and secondly the images speak for themselves. Christina did an absolutely beautiful job adding to this series. I know I am going to make a coffee table book out of this series, but who knows when the right time will be. It must be a feeling that comes over you when the time is right. For now, Enjoy!

Analogue With Anna Lisa Wagner | A Collection Of Polaroids

It has been a very long time since my best friend and I have shot. Well, I suppose we shot briefly while we were both in Phoenix but I am rather talking about a proper shoot.

Anna Lisa took an impromptu trip to Los Angeles to visit one of her friends that had a baby within the recent months and because of the current events has not been able to had the opportunity to meet the little one. We were able to get two birds stoned at once on this trip of hers; she was able to meet t...

Kitchen Light With Reed

Just shy of three years ago and I can remember every single bit of this one night stay in the most beautiful yet creepy Airbnb. The reason for the stay in this stunning space was an early arrival. On yet another countless trips to Phoenix, Reed and I rolled into the desert city a night before we were suppose too. On the way in, Reed was looking through Airbnb for a space that we could wake up and shoot in before heading to our hotel. With a couple quick scrolls she came across this space. She...

Somebody Else With Reed | A Film Short Re-release

I stumbled across this video last night when I went into my photo album on my phone and 'memories' popped up. I watched the entire thing and got the same feeling I did when we first made the video and knew I had to share it again. I will be sharing what I wrote on the original post here below. Enjoy!

Analogue With Electric Bones | A Collection Of Polaroids

For this trip, my first trip out of the Greater Los Angeles Area in over a year, it was cut short. Not for a poor reason by any means, I simply had a high paying gig back in Los Angeles that I could not say no to. Some shoots were cut and rescheduled for the next trip out and an early departure planned. Thankfully I was able to squeeze in one more shoot and it was with this lady whom I have been trying to work with for some time now. We have been following one another from afar on Instagram a...

Analogue With Anna Lisa Wagner | A Collection Of Polaroids

It is so seldom that I get to see my best friend but when we do it is always one for the memory books. What starts as a simple catch up turns into endless hours of conversation, stories and a loving look into one another eyes. It has been longer since I last shot Anna Lisa than seeing her. She visited Los Angeles a few months ago but we did not get the chance to shoot while she was here due to opposing schedules. Thankfully this time, was different. A quick photo session in her Arizona backya...

Analogue With Danielle Moulin | A Collection Of Polaroids

This was my first time working with Danielle and I can assure you it certainly will not be the last. Negate the images and what we were able to capture the time spent with this lady was absolutely amazing and I definitely gained a new close friend. This lady is beautiful, a sweetheart and a creative at heart.

During my trip to Phoenix I set aside a huge block of a day to head up an hour North in order to shoot with Danielle in the middle of nowhere. We ventured into the deser...

Ferrania P30 Preview With Reed

Late last night I received a notification that my scans had been uploaded and were ready to view. I was like a little kid on Christmas morning as soon as I saw this notification. I would take the time to develop my own film... if I had said time. However, between working three jobs and trying to have a little bit of time for myself that is not possible.

I cannot develop my own film as time permits, but I can in fact scan my own film. With that said, I take these 'test' scans ...

Analogue With Hades | A Collection Of Polaroids

Yesterday was the first time I had seen my old friend Hades in just shy of two years. We had lost touch for a little while but recently rekindled our friendship and during her trip to Los Angeles we set up a time to shoot. Two main things were in play for this shoot; Jeans and Only Her. I mainly wanted to shoot for these series' of mine because I truly believe that Hades fits them so well and her posing mimics that. I am excited to have a friendship with this woman once again and look forward...

Light Tests With Reed

Another day shooting with Reed, another light test for some analogue selfies. It is fasinating how even a mere light test comes out amazing with this lady. Enjoy!

Analogue With Satan's Sister | A Collection Of Polaroids

It turns out I have a new neighbor and friend. This lady lives not but a few blocks away from me in Downtown Los Angeles. Hailing from the East Coast, not but one state away from where I lived for thirteen years. I swear, my entire life is simply the purest definition of 'two degrees of separation'.

She recently came over for a shoot and a Polaroid session. After a quick one hour shoot with two digital looks and a few analogue exposures we wrapped. It feels good to know that ...

Cast Of Light With Reed

On the same day that Reed came over to shoot a mess of analogue, and I truly mean a mess, we ended up shooting this digital set as well. Amongst the constant swapping of cameras between the 600SE, the SX-70 Sonar and my Nikon F5; I managed to pick up my digital and sneak in a set for you all.

When Reed and I shoot it is virtually seamless. Camera angles come with years of collaborating, poses come from Reed's endless experience in front of the camera and the chemistry comes n...

The end of the year, a final post and some beautiful monochromatic light. This set goes live whenever I finished writing the post tonight.

Analogue With Meredith Devine | A Collection Of Polaroids

I feel as if Meredith and I have a monthly or bi-monthly get together where we catch up, tell one another stories of the recent times and then eventually her clothes come off and cameras come out. I did not know we were going to shoot yesterday, but definitely glad we did. Right before Meredith was heading over I texted her and asked "Should I take a pack of film out of the fridge?" and her answer if obvious.

Whenever Meredith and I shoot, we always end up with 'the shot' and...

Shadow Play With Mia V.

As some of you may know from previous posts I have made with Mia, I have been following her for a while now and we just recently met. Now, by recent I mean February 2, 2020; just shy of a year ago. However I have been following her for several years so the scale most definitely would be able to fall into 'recently'. My friend Derek Woods came over to my studio to shoot with Mia while she was in town from Tokyo, Japan. As they shot, I sat at my desk working through some digital work. With ever...
