What We Do In The Shadows With Reed

Each time Reed and I would go to Phoenix together we would stay in a different Airbnb. This time we decided to try out a hotel while visiting and I am so glad we did. It is a hotel called The Found:RE PHX. It is an industrial modern hotel built with the utmost detail in every room. Reed and I booked a room and did not really know what to expect when we arrived since photos of spaces never really do them justice. When we walked into our room we were astonished with the beauty. Everything was perfect; the light, the bed, the bathroom and the v...

Only Her With Embodoe

One day I saw that this amazing lady was on her way into town and I immediately reached out to her to see if she had time to work together. She responded with joy and excitement that I wanted to work with her, so we set a date and time. I told her that I would get her a mood board and concepts so she can plan what to bring. I of course wanted to shoot her for Jeans but this was the other main look that I desired to shoot. She has such brilliant colored eyes and an equally brilliant profile that I simply just wanted to shoot some very soft an...

Early Evening Light With Kenzie Anne

I always love working with someone new, it is such a fun experience. From connecting and getting to know one another to learning each other's style and flow. There is always a little bit of a learning curve but Kenzie and I picked it up within the first couple frames.

This was the first look that Kenzie and I shot when she came over last minute and it was a great warm-up. She had mentioned that she just shot this body suit but she did not really enjoy the photos that were shot by the photographer, so we gave it another go. T...

Analogue With Reed | A Collection Of Polaroids

Yesterday was seemingly magical. It was the first time that I have had Reed in front of my cameras in over a year and it simply felt right. Not creating with your first and only muse for so long is a strange thing, but it is even more strange to do it once more. Reed was coming into Los Angeles for a visit and we spoke just before she came. I so happened to have yesterday off work and she so happened to have the day free. With that perfect timing, Reed came over to my studio, shot for Jeans and the rest of the time shooting was spent blastin...

Textures With Kenzie Anne

A slight delay in this set release and for that I apologize.

Working with Kenzie was a dream. Previous to this shoot, we had set up a day and time the proceeding week, but Kenzie woke up with a killer migrant that day so we moved to reschedule with no definitive date. I always want to ensure that the lady I am working with is feeling one hundred percent simply because I know working while you are not is tough, but it also translates into the images.

A few days later I saw on her Instagram story that she was ...

Jeans With Ariel Jean

A bit of a confusing title to the post, I must admit. Fitting nonetheless. Ms. Jean wearing jeans posing for 'Jeans'.

One day I asked Ariel if she would want to shoot for 'Jeans', I set her a couple sample photos and she immediately said yes. A couple days later she was on her way to my studio to shoot for the series. It was the first time I had seen Ariel since before the California stay at home orders went into effect. It is always such a good feeling to see a friendly face and catch up after months of not seeing one anoth...

Overcast And Coffee With Reed

Circa December of 2018. This was the first time that I had seen Reed in a month when she returned home from Ohio after spending some much needed time with her family. She left in early November right after my birthday and arrived back home in early December. I remember it was a strange feeling to have her away for so long, but we got right to doing what we did best.

On this day we were invited to an Airbnb that many of our friends in the photo community were shooting at. A massive gathering of creatives under one roof. Sadly...

Analogue With Amber Marie | A Collection Of Polaroids

Yesterday was an amazing day for photos, analogue and also a new friendship. It was my first time shooting with Amber and also my first time meeting her. My friend Meredith has shot with her before and only said the best things about her and I can tell you that all of which Meredith spoke is true. This lady is amazing. We spent the day going all over shooting from starting in my studio then up to the high desert and back Downtown for some street photos at night. I will save the amazing story for the digital sets, for now enjoy these Polaroid...

Beach Nudes With Reed

Before Reed and I went on our trip with Jaclyn up north, we had a long beach shoot day at one of our favorites in Southern California. This day started with shooting Adriana Chechik and finished with shooting Chelsea Gabrielle. Of course, Reed and I had to get in some photos of our own since the opportunity presented itself on a silver platter.

This day we had this entire stretch of beach to ourselves, from about 9A.M. all the way until about 6:30P.M. we only saw two other people. It was a Monday, which could explain a littl...

A Birthday Shoot With Meredith Devine

Some of these images have already been released as well as the story. I rushed several of these to Meredith the day before her birthday so she could have this amazing look to post on social media for her special day. I just worked through the rest of the look last night and I am excited to share the new images with you all! From the previous post;

"I have so much more to share with you all from this shoot with Meredith and especially from this look, but those will come in the near future. We shot these images specifically fo...

Film Strips With Reed | An Ilford HP5 Plus 120 Film Strip

Normally shared to the 'Nostalgia' tier, this film strip is too good not to share with all of you. It was shot during our video shoot for 'Somebody Else' that was released awhile ago. Enjoy!

Shot with a Mamiya m645.

Analogue With Anna Lisa Wagner | A Collection Of Polaroids

Anna came to town a few days ago and I have had the absolute pleasure of hosting her during that time. Of course, cameras came out a few times while she was here. This trip was predominantly just to hand out and see one another for the first time in months. However, we still shot some beautiful things.

Anna needed some Polaroids shot to send out to her patrons, so we loaded our cameras and got to work. She slipped into this beautiful body suit, positioned herself next to Pickle and we captured some beautiful light. Enjoy! 2020-06-30 17:04:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Analogue With Kenzie Anne | A Collection Of Polaroids

Yesterday was an amazing impromptu shoot with this awesome woman! Last week Kenzie and I were suppose to shoot on Thursday, but then she ended up having to reschedule due to a migraine. As I was cruising through Instagram stories yesterday I saw that she was shooting in Downtown Los Angeles not even five blocks from my studio. I responded to her story to tell her such and she immediately called me, told me that she was already half way home, but if I wanted to shoot she would turn around; and so she did. We shot for a couple hours, got tacos...

Sweet Sunrooms With Reed

Circa June, 2018.

This was an incredible weekend with so many amazing people. I cannot remember if I shared this entire story with you guys and gals from the first set release of this weekend, but since it has been so long I will tell the story once more.

Reed and I were invited last minute to this shootfest that Penny Suicide set up. This was the beginning of the massive wave of people joining Patreon and before OnlyFans was big. The shootfest was mainly for SuicideGirls sets, but there was this weird over ...

Desert Fields With Lu Bellah

This trip was so amazing and much needed in countless ways. It was my first time shooting since the lockdown in the Greater Los Angeles Area started, which was March 6th. I had tried to pick up my camera snd shot other things like my plants, the streets and more, but it just was not the same. There are so many different fields of photography and each creative is drawn to a different subject. For me, nothing compares to creating with a lady and the story behind the shoot.

Lu and I had planned this trip only a couple days prio...

Analogue With Embodoe | A Collection Of Polaroids

It feels good to slowly but surely get back into the swing of things in regards to shooting. My life never stopped during the Los Angeles lockdown since I still had to go to work as an essential worker. However, the two months without shooting definitely took a toll of my psyche and creative drive. It feels amazing to be able to pick up a camera again and create.

A few days ago Embodoe came over to shoot several looks. We cranked out four looks in about and hour and some change. The digital looks are just as amazing as the P...

Use Your Voice With James

There is something immensely important happening right now. A global movement for change, equality and respect for Black lives. I began a new project two days ago. I have started interviewing the Black people surrounding me. In the interview we are covering their experience with racism through their life, unlawful and prejudice encounters with police and their story.

The first person I interviewed and shot was James. He is a dancer and an originator of the 'Krump' style. It was an eye opening experience to listen to his stor...

A Slight Delay

There has been a lot of outside forces that has prevented me from getting new content out to you guys and gals thus far into June.

Last Saturday night my place of business was broken into and looted for everything that it had. I have been non-stop dealing with this since I am one of the managers at the location. Everyone is safe, unharmed and that is the sliver lining.

I will have new content for all of you very soon, hopefully within the next couple days. I have simply had to shift my focus to detrimental t...

Analogue With Ariel Jean | An SX-70 Exposure

Today Ariel stopped by for the first time in months. Pre-pandemic, I would host her often due to her job being in Pasadena and her home in Orange County. She would come and stay in my spare bed after a long day of work and we would sit on the couch, eat pizza and watch movies. It was so good to see her and catch up. Of course, we shot for 'Jeans'.

I forgot to take more film out of the fridge this morning when I woke up so it was all still to cool to shoot and I knew it would not warm up in time. Unfortunately, I only had one...

Jeans With Lu Bellah

Whenever I get the chance to shoot for this series, I get elated about it. It has been over two months since I had picked up a camera and pointed it at a lady and god damn did it feel good. There was such a void in my life without creating and I was so happy to have my first day back to shooting be with my amazing friend Lu.

Lu had told me that she had a Sunday free, so I moved around my schedule to accommodate. The plan; Lu to shoot up to Los Angeles from Long Beach, shoot for Jeans and then jet out to Joshua Tree. When she...
