East To West With Rachel Burnett

A North Carolina lady all the way in California.

Rachel and I have been trying to shoot for some time and she had a last minute trip to Los Angeles. She and her friend Courtney were booked for a shoot/painting and they were able to spend a few extra days in the city. Thankfully one of those days was spent shooting with me. In talks the week prior to her coming out, we spoke of wanting to go and adventure around Southern California. The day before she texted me and said "How a...

Light Tests With Reed

The last time Reed stopped by for a shoot I handed her my Nikon F5 once more so she could finish out a roll of Ferrania P30 film. P30 is a monochromatic cinema stock that they sprocketed and cut to 135. It is known to be one of the most unforgiving films and I have recently shot two rolls that will be going in for development soon. I am excited to see what this film holds. Until then, enjoy this test shot of sorting out camera settings for her selfies.

Reverie With Planet Sleaze

Delightfully lost in ones thoughts; Reverie.

That is the feeling I get when I look at these images of my friend Mac. It was the first time that we had seen one another in over a year and the first time that we have shot in over two years. The last time I saw her was at Meredith Devine's Painted Lady Show in the summer of 2019. It was so good seeing her, catching up and being able to capture her beauty once more.

This shoot came about because I saw one of Mac'...

Ocean Textures With Anna Lisa Wagner

This day was a beautiful and inspiring day.

Anna and I started this day off by shooting at FD Studios in Downtown Los Angeles in the 'rain room'. It was the first time I had really picked up a camera in 2019. I had lost my muse earlier in the year and it was hard for me to find inspiration and even a minute amount of motivation to create. Thankfully, Anna helped me rediscover my creative visions. After our hour long stint in FD Studios we packed up the car and headed south to...

Analogue With Reed | A Collection Of Polaroids

On Sunday I had a shoot with a first-time model. It was the very only time she had stepped in front of a camera so I paid Reed to come assist on the shoot. It is what we did for years so I knew it was exactly what I needed to help make this gig successful. With Reed's help, it was a huge win. We captured so much beautiful content for this lady and made her feel beautiful, comfortable and happy.

Afterwards, Reed stuck around and I broke out a couple packs of expired SX-70 Type...

Wicked Games With Ariel Jean

There are not many images to this set, but that is because we mainly got together on this day to focus on one thing; video. However, I could not help myself but to take a little bit of time to capture some stills as well.

Ariel and I shot the footage and captured everything we could possibly need then we switched to photo. Lasting a brief five or ten minutes, I snagged a few key shots and we called it a night. I recently posted on my Instagram a series of stories and within t...

Analogue With Reed | A Collection Of Polaroids

Yesterday Reed made her bi-monthly stop by my studio to shoot a mess of analogue and when I say mess, I mean a literal mess. By the end of the shoot my studio was completely taken apart from constantly moving things around to shoot in different corners and spots. On top of that there were Polaroid boxes, peel apart paper and empty battery packs scattered across every surface. We managed to shoot some images with a little bit of clothes on this time, which is surprising. The last two times we ...

Jeans With Spilled Milk

The last couple times I have seen this lady and her man Alex they have texted me just days before they come to Los Angeles as their trips are mostly impromptu. I, of course, hosted them during their couple day stint in The City Of Angels. The reason for their trip was her birthday that weekend. They rented an Airbnb in San Diego and ended up having the couple days prior to her birthday unexpectedly free.

Earlier this day we took a quick walk to Guisados tacos on Spring and 6t...

Clear Creeks With Reed

The blank text field of which I am writing this starts off with a little something from Patreon. It is always changing, one says 'Write anything.... they'll love it.' and this one currently says 'Tell a story,' so that I will.

Mid September in Arizona is a different kind of September than the rest of the United States. The heat still plagues the state deep into autumn and this day was no different. We were up early this day, before the sun made it's appearance and it was stil...

Desert Vibe With Amber Marie

A slight delay due to a busy day at work, but I promise this set is worth the wait.

This was the third look of the day. Amber and I decided to spend out first day meeting as a full ay together shooting a gang of content. First starting in my studio then roaming out to this location. From Los Angeles we had to take the mountain passes ti get here. Slow speeds, windy roads and thousands of feet in elevation gain. The entire drive was filled with conversation, good music and get...

Sake Nights With Meredith Devine

Meredith is that kind of friend that you do not always get to stay in touch with on the regular, but whenever you get together it is almost as if there was no lapse in time between catch ups.

Both Meredith and I are extremely busy working constantly throughout each day and week. Three jobs for me and endless for her, we do not always get time to stay in touch. A response to an Instagram story here, a text saying 'I miss you' there. Every once in a while we both can find a tim...

Wild West With Amber Marie

This was actually the last look that we shot in the desert, but when I sat down to edit one night this was the look that spoke to me the most.

Right before we packed up our things from a very successful first look, I told Amber we should shoot one more quick banger since we were already here. She threw on a pair of killer shorts a black fridge leather jacket and this brilliant hat. Even though this was our first time working together we already developed a flow. A quick shoot...

Film Short | Wicked Games With Ariel Jean

A film short with a friend in need.

I always check in on my close friends. It may be daily, twice a week or once every two weeks. When someone crosses my mind I immediately text them and let them know. One day Ariel crossed my mind so I did what I always do, I texted her. We ended up down a rabbit hole of conversation and all of the things she was currently dealing with and going through. It was a lot, to say the least.

It is in my DNA to lend a helping hand,...

Analogue With Tay Lomax | A Collection Of Polaroids

A neighborly visit ending with some beautiful Polaroids. Tay is my neighbor from a few doors down in the building. We have endlessly walked by one another and I have always been fascinated with her look and especially her hair. In fact, every time I see her I say "How are you, you beautiful haired lady?"

Just recently, Tay and I ended up leaving to walk our dogs at the same time, so we took a stroll together around the neighborhood and that is when I finally mustered up the c...

Analogue With Rachel Burnett | A Collection Of Polaroids

Rachel and I have followed each other for some time now and have both equally wanted to work together. With the distance of three thousand miles from East Coast to West Coast, it proves difficult especially during a pandemic. Yesterday we were finally able to make it happen.

Rachel and her friend Courtney came out to Los Angeles to work with this painter that had hired them and they had a couple extra days to go explore. Thankfully Rachel decided to that I would be the one th...

Jeans With Reed

The first look, the first shutter clicks and the first encounter with Reed in over a years time.

For some time, Reed and I kept our distance from one another. After years of being together as partners in all things life, it seemed like the only option. Now, we have never fully exited the other's life. That, I think will never be possible. Over the years of being together we developed so many friendships with endless creatives and people met along the way. People that we are b...

Analogue With Embodoe | A Collection Of Polaroids

Yesterday after my shoot with Mia, this lovely lady stopped by my studio in the early evening for a quick shoot and a catch up. She just moved to Los Angeles a couple weeks ago and I am so excited to have her here so we can constantly work with one another. I had shot nine exposures of Mia on the pack of FP-3000B and had one left to use, so naturally I did. The rest of the look was all digital which will come in the future. Before she left, I broke out the MiniPortrait for a quick dual exposu...

Analogue With Mia V | A Collection Of Polaroids

2020 is not all bad. My good friend Mia moving to Los Angeles is definitely a highlight of the year. She recently moved here only a couple weeks ago. I met Mia a while ago when my friend Derek Woods shot her in my studio. Mia and I ended up spending the evening going to Amoeba Records, Tacos Tu Madre in Los Feliz followed by around at Big Foot Lodge. This was the first time I had seen her since that night and it was a great reunion.

Today we shot only one look, but damn was i...

Analogue With Chelsea Gabrielle | A Collection Of Polaroids

It has been almost three years since the last time I had Chelsea in front of my cameras and a lot has changed since that time for both of us. One thing is certain however, we have stayed in contact and friends over the last few years of not shooting and become really good friends. Our schedules finally aligned and the winds were blowing the right way. Yesterday Chelsea came over to my studio and we shot a couple looks with intention to shoot some more later this week.
