GF appreciation post: The ain't perfect, but she's trying. Her fluidity can make my sternness break. Her compassion soothes my soul when I think things are impossible. That she cares more for a world that can care less for her, it shows her real power over things out of her control. I am a very lucky man. • @fadedpandaproductions • #gfappreciationpost (at Downtown Upland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3-jyzZhPnt/?igshid=1oeo19rbzmifk

Going back through my feed and found this gem shot by @dorsey_jr1 while shooting BTS for my photoshoot with pinup legend @sabinakelley and the stellar #hmua @jennifercorona at @fdphotostudio in Downtown LA. Such a great experience with amazing people. Not everyday you get the chance to work with a top ranked artist, let alone two at once. This shoot definitely made me step up my editing game and made me learn more about being communicative while photographing any model. Directing is as much of being a photographer, as it is to just point a camera and shoot. Sabina taught me that by asking me questions and suggesting her ideas from her years of modeling. Luckily I've had the chance to work with professionals to learn more of the etiquette of being a photographer and being a part of any shoot, even within a group setting. Your photos are not more important than the artist infront of the lens being comfortable. • #achillesphotography #sabinakelley #jennifercorona #jennifercoronamuah #bts #longpost #longwindedmessage #appreciationpost #fdphotostudio #photography (at Downtown Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ZTwqanuTO/?igshid=198nqlobpe5ca

I am me, not what you want me to be. I am a free mind, an individual. I'm not bound by your thoughts, I'm not bound by your words. Life is more than boundaries, life is full of love and expression. My temple is my own. • Model: @bitchypaige 📸: @achillesphotography • #bitchypaige #achillesphotography #bwphotography #themysterypr0ject #s0mbrebw #s0mbrebeings #mentalhealthawareness #selfexpression #dontsufferinsilence #sticksandstones #boundaries #socalmodels https://www.instagram.com/p/B2fPHpnnUTF/?igshid=1psrzspd0be42

LOST "In the head of this stranger in love Holding on given up To another under faded setting sun And I wonder where I am Could she run away with him?

Another hot day deserves a cold ice cream. I can honestly say I forgot I took these photos of Niko 😅 so many folders and images over a year of shooting nothing but models and sometimes you forget what you've done. Do you have things you've forgotten about? Better yet, what's your favorite flavor of ice cream? Or do you prefer shaved ice? I'm an anything chocolate kinda guy but I love me some bubblegum shaved ice 😁 Model: @niko_renee Shot somewhere in DTLA • #achillesphotography #nikorenee #niko_renee #icecream #dtla #la #losangeles #socalmodels #socalphotography (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1zv2r8Hkcf/?igshid=pindhpwnaoxp
