Morning Lingerie With Loveless

This collaboration has been a long time coming. Loveless and I have known one another for some time now, a few years I believe. At first, it was in passing through fellow creatives and only recently we have become friends. Loveless had always expressed how she wanted to work with me, but we could just never find the time or our schedules did not match up. There was one morning that we were able to go to Laguna Beach and shoot a quick little nude look, but that was it.

During ...

Analogue With Reed | The Future Of Love | A Collection Of Polaroids

Shooting this exposure was shooting virtually blind. It was shot with a Polaroid 600SE which is a rangefinder focus camera. The viewfinder is in no way attached to the optical elements of the camera, so it is just there for framing and focusing purposes.

Reed and I captured digital test shots as I moved the prism around the front of my lens. Once I sorted out where I wanted to hold the prism Reed took an iPhone photo of my hand placement over the lens. I then I mounted my...

The Future Of Love With Reed | A Collective Art Exhibition

There is always a first for everything, and so the story goes.

On January 24th 2020, Anna Lisa was visiting Los Angeles and whenever she is here it is always a full schedule. This time was no different, but on that schedule was an art show. I have never been a regular attendee of art shows on my lonesome. I have always gone to them, just in company of a friend. This one was no different in that sense, but far different than any other show I had been to.

Angles Of Angels With Reed

During our first shoot after over a year, Reed and I shot two looks, tons of film and right before she left I told her not to get dressed yet. I had her put on a cute pair of bottoms, I got on the floor near my Dracaena and she posed right in front of me. We only took a couple shots because she was in a time crunch and had to leave, but here they are! Enjoy!

Kimonos And Corsets With Christina Garcia

Two long years.

Christina and I have known each other for several years now, but its be over two of those that I have had the pleasure of shooting with her. Christina is an all around brilliant woman. The second you are in her presence you feel comfort, joy and a sense of home. Her personality radiates positivity and kindness which is exactly how I would describe her entire self. On top of that Christina can easily pull off any look, any style and of course, any hair. I belie...

Analogue With Alea Rain | A Collection Of Polaroids

The days these were captured was a busy one for me. I had Reed come over in the afternoon to shoot for a special project, Alea arrived in the early evening for a shoot featuring her dancing and capturing stills of her movements and Anna Lisa arrived for her stint in Los Angeles. There was a lot going on, but so much beautiful content was created that day with so many brilliant ladies.

This was my first time shooting with Alea. In fact, it was my first time spending more than ...

Film Strips With Reed | A Kodak Portra 400 35mm Film Strip

With a little over three hours of sleep last night, my mind is not fully functional. Granted, I still found myself needing to work so I dug through some old negatives and gave them a scan. These frames are circa 2017 in the middle of the drive between Los Angeles and Phoenix. Enjoy!

Shot with a Nikon F5.

Film Short | Amber After Dark

This was my first time in a long time dabbling with video and I can honestly say I missed it. I always get asked why I do not incorporate more video into my work and I always say that video has to be with the right person. The model has to not only be aware of a still pose, but also must know how to cohesively move throughout the capture. Amber definitely falls into that realm as a dancer. Shooting video with her was easy, almost as if we had done it hundreds of times before. She took directi...

After Dark With Amber Marie

There are a lot of instances of 'it's been awhile' for this shoot with Amber. From studio lights and gels to shooting and editing video. I must say though, I am so damn glad it happened.

This shoot was almost impromptu. Amber let me know the day before that she had a concept that she wanted to work on and asked to use my space. We got together later that day and brainstormed over dinner. Amber used to dance at Jumbo's Clown Room here in Los Angeles and they started doing digi...

Only Her With Reed

It seems that my work is turning more to series based work, which honestly I am more than fine with. It makes sense to me, consistency. I live my life in routine and love to have it that way. It feels only right and normal to have it translate into my work.

I originally named a set of Embodoe 'Only Her' and then ended up shooting the same thing with Reed. A white seamless, tight shots and not much else. It is even simpler than Jeans. The focus is solely on the model and no di...

Mad Max With Dolly Diamond

As I have said before, if an experience is poor I do not have much to say about the shoot. All of the stories I would normally tell are simply void and absent. With every shoot a new skill is developed, a new understanding of photography and in this case, a lesson learned. Enjoy.

Analogue With Reed | A Collection Of Polaroids

If there is one person that I absolutely muse over for analogue it is indeed Reed. The images we are able to capture together on any medium is breathtaking to me, especially when it is on analogue.

Two days ago Reed stopped by to sign some Polaroids from our previous shoot and we had spoken about maybe shooting for this project I am currently working on that I have not announced or released yet. When she arrived I was mentally off. The previous night had a lot of strange emot...

Jeans With Embodoe

An absolutely brilliant addition to the series, Embodoe.

When I asked her if she would join the series she delightfully said yes. It always makes me so thrilled when someone wants to join the series and it has recently become models asking me to shoot for it. I never thought I would be in that position, but here we are. This was the first look that we shot of the day and I could not have asked for a better outcome. Not only is she an amazing model with great posing, she has s...

Dracaena With Anna Lisa Wagner

As I shoot more and more in my studio you would think it would get boring, but it is in fact the opposite. I feel as if it is honing in my skill with light, composition and detail to each image. I have learned the light, I know the space and the only thing I have to worry about is what is in front of me, the model. I have also taken a more simplistic approach to my work. I do not need an entire set or a full scene in order to create something that I love. I just need some beautiful light and ...

Analogue With Spilled Milk | A Collection Of Polaroids

I have always loved when my friends come into town and I enjoy hosting them even more so. Alex and Spilled Milk came through Los Angeles the day before her birthday, which is today, and stayed with me in my studio. When we woke up yesterday we all went and grabbed amazing tacos and then returned to my studio for them to shoot her birthday look. The concept was simple; white boots, a bottle of champagne and not much else besides a seamless backdrop.

While they were shooting th...

Loft Light With Amber Marie

Finding a new creative that I can see myself working with over and over again with seldom happens. However, I can tell you that Amber most certainly falls into that realm of seldomness. The first day we met and shot together was a long shoot day and adventure. We started off in my studio for a couple looks, this being one of them and then ventured off into the desert.

When Amber first arrived at my studio it was like we had known one another for years. We immediately starting...

Analogue With Christina Garcia | A Collection Of SX-70 Exposures

Hands down one of my favorite ladies to work with and this was the first time in almost two years that we had shot together.

I recently saw Christina so she could cut my hair and during the cut we spoke about shooting soon and realized that it has been ages since we had created together. Less than a week later Christina and her partner Guido were on their way to my studio in Los Angeles. We shot for Jeans as well as this look. More of the story to come with the digitals. Enjo...

Bleached | A Collection Of FP-100C Negatives

Now, you guys and gals are in for a treat. I would normally share negative scans to my Nostalgia tier, but I think that all of these are so beautiful they need to be shared to everyone.

I have always had a massive stack of FP negatives to bleach through, and with every shoot the stack gets taller still. A culmination of a few different events provoked me to recover some negatives. First, I had an absolutely brilliant shoot with Amber Marie, which I have already shared the Pol...

Analogue With Amber Marie | A Collection of FP-100C Exposures

A couple of days ago Amber texted me and asked me if I wanted to shoot something fun and easy with her, I of course obliged. She told me the concept and I was immediately on board. Amber had a live stream for one of her closed businesses, Jumbo's Clown Room. They have been doing once a month Zoom calls where they dance and take tips from viewers. Some of the tips get split up between the ladies who dance and the remainder of them go to a fund or charity of the month; a pretty cool concept if ...

Bodyscape Droplets With Embodoe

One of our favorite looks we shot when Embodoe came to shoot in my studio. I asked her if she was comfortable shooting a wet set and thankfully she said yes! This was one of the last looks we shot before the sun dipped behind the buildings for the day.

I asked her to sit in the ground close to the window and I grabbed my plant mister. I wanted to shoot a close up detail look with her emphasizing her shape and the detail of water droplets on her skin. It came out exactly how I...
