Christine
I got to shoot a Gap ad the other day.
Just kidding. (I can dream, right?) I visited my friend Christine and did a mini photoshoot. If you hang out with me enough things like this are bound to happen.
Inspired by classic black and white editorial portraits and the abundance of natural light pouring in from south-facing windows, I squealed in excitement as I snapped away and created these photos that so perfectly embody my minimalist aesthetic. Who needs a studio when you've got natural light? I cannot wait to shoot indoors again.
And if Gap or Cotton On (we're such loyal customers) would like to hire us to shoot/model for their campaign, contact page and info at the top of this page, as always. :)
Ultimately it’s the fine art work I’m drawn to. It’s portraiture, natural expression, the female form, shapes, earth’s elements, and movement.
The air was cool and breezy, a refreshing break from the historical San Francisco June gloom. With a bag full of leotards and fabrics, we were ready to play.
Summer's coming, and what better way to welcome my favorite season than do a fashion shoot? I got to art direct, produce, and shoot Ashley Chloe's summer campaign.
At one point when we were alone in the small dressing room, he reached out his hand and introduced himself. "Hi! I'm...ummmm....Sophia!" I muttered, wide-eyed and in shock.
Shooting at NYFW is an opportunity to test shoot with the industry's top models and celebrities. Join me in recapping the experience of a lifetime at my first fashion week in the most amazing city.
There's something about incorporating motion into photographs that adds just a bit more excitement and interest into a still. I envisioned something simple and classic for one last dance shoot with Andrea.
I love light and movement, shape and textures. For me it's more than showing off clothes. I want the personality and emotions of the model to come through. And the more I experiment, the more I come back to simple and sleek forms, clean lines, and beautiful natural expressions.
I think this was the first time I've ever embraced shooting in direct sunlight. The sun was my beauty dish. And it was perfect.
The natural curves of a human body and the raw texture of skin are three-dimensional elements of a subject reveal light, contour, gesture, perspective.
This image had been brewing in the back of my mind for years and I finally made the effort to gather the furniture and people to actually do it. Yay!
The magnificence of this awe-inspiring location with the timeless beauty of a woman in a flowing gown makes for images I've only ever seen in my dreams.
I'm learning to love shadows and darkness in my photos. There's so much depth in contrast, something largely different from clean spotless white background stock photos. No human subject should be photographed like a dull product.
I brought in some clothes I've been collecting for my wardrobe closet and we had a blast blowing hair all over the place.
Continuing on with my beauty photoshoots (see new work here!), I got to shoot the super stunning Noelle this past weekend.
Pregnancy is a magical moment in your life when you discover the extent of womanhood, something that connects you to all the generations before you. Depicting the essence of maternity had to be done against the backdrop of the natural landscape.
