I spent a lot of time this week on the Metro this past week which is a wonderful opportunity to take photographs. It wouldn’t be a great idea to whip out my camera while driving so this affords me the opportunity to take some interesting photographs in between jobs. So it should be no surprise that this week’s collection of Street Photos are Metro-centric.

I also happen to have a few early morning gigs which allowed me to work on this week’s On Taking Picture’s assignment, #earlymorning.

So my weekly street photo project went off to a non-start! I’ll try do better this coming week though.

I’ve actually gone out and shot a bit, but not as much as I could. Between being busy, being slightly sick, and trying to have a personal life I haven’t done enough to sacrifice and chase this project. I’m not sure while self assigned projects have been such a roadblock for me. Maybe it’s knowing that it’ll be hard at first. That I’ll likely suck at first. That I’ll be out of my comfort zone and producing work that I don’t consider “better”.

That’s a big fear that holds me back. It’s hard to focus with the intense amount of distractions I have. Sometimes I want to get rid of my smart phone and buy a flip phone. Do you ever have those moments?

Here are a few favorites to catch me up on my street photography posts.

Street Photos 9/26/2017 So my weekly street photo project went off to a non-start! I'll try do better this coming week though.

Teresa wanted a “Mommy and Me” photo shoot with her daughter Gia. We took a sort of natural approach to this session and while we did pose for a few I wanted to seemingly be a fly on the wall. It’s pretty easy to get cute photos though when you’re such a happy baby.

Backyard Portraits

I’ve been obsessing lately about taking better and more interesting portraits. I have a new approach to a series I’ll be starting off this week and I hope that by putting myself in front of interesting people I’ll come away with great portraits. My approach to lighting will be consistent and I’ve taken the opportunity to practice on my roomate’s dogs and my better half.

Sofitel Catering Group Photo

Sometimes I’m tasked with covering a celebrity studded event at the Sofitel, Beverly Hills and sometimes I’m needed for a quick group photo. This is the latter. The wonderful team over at Sofitel wanted a simple group photo of the Catering Management for the Hotel. I included a few head shots while we had our gear out.

Amber Dunn - Downtown Los Angeles

Amber Dunn – Downtown Los Angeles

Amber is starting a little lifestyle blog on her instagram @thecolorofyour.energy. If her last name sounds familiar she is the sister of Kelly Dunn who I shot with back in 2013/2014 for many of my fashion projects back then. The interesting part for me on this project was working with someone new who was also new to modeling. It put into perspective that the “moment” still matters. Whether it’s a…

Rock it Billy

For this Week’s Flashback Friday we go WAYYYY back to the 50’s! Well closer to 2012. PinkMinkMafia modeling in front of some bomb bombs in Old Town Torrance. I really want to do more stylized photoshoots like these so hopefully the next few won’t be from way long ago.

The very best thing about having your own website is that you can pretty much make up your own rules about content and what to post! Which is why I’ll be posting old events and photo shoots as if they happened yesterday.

Last year I had the opportunity to shoot one of the most unique and exciting events I’ve had to date. My friends at Sofitel invited me to cover their weekly Drag Revue Room Service 360. It’s 2 hours of music, performances and dancing. Even the crowd is invited to participate (Though get ready to have a wig thrown on you).

My assignment was simple, capture some of the back stage getting ready as well as the performances. Everything was to be in black and white, vintage Hollywood style. How did I do?

FYF Festival and the Fuji X70

Initially I bought the Fujifilm X-70 as a walk around camera to take with me around town when I didn’t feel like lugging a DSLR around. I figured the size and form factor would be ideal for street photography. It fit in my pocket without issue and it’s wide angle would force me to get close to what I wanted to photograph. Did it work well in a Festival Environment? Mostly no, but I think my…

Street Photography

Killing time and Netflix surfing I came across the documentary, Everybody Street. I’ve always been enamored with the stories told by photographers willing to compose and wait, duck and hunt through crowds, and embed themselves into the seediest of our country’s corners. In this particular documentary 13 New York City photographers are portrayed who have mostly covered the city from the 60s-90s.…

Weekly OTP Assignment : Contrast

Hey Folks! So this is my first blog post where I wanted to introduce one of my favorite podcasts to listen to while on the Metro, On Taking Pictures. Each week photographer Bill Wadman and life’s muse Jeffery Saddoris get together to share the latest in visual story telling, tech, life and sometimes photography. Surrounding the podcast a community has emerged where each and every week they’re…

Last year the ArtCenter College of Design Graduate Film Major graduate class decided to emulate 18th Century portrait paintings for the class photos. Friend and Filmmaker Alexander Ibarra asked me to shoot and photoshop the students into the creations you see below.

It was definitely a fun project that taught me a lot about emulating brush strokes and considering lighting while converting digital photos into digital paintings. I found the process very satisfying and challenging and wanted to share the before/after for each student. I photographed each student pictured below save the first two.
