here’s my #adobechallenge video! for anyone who didn’t see my stories last week, i got a box full of toys (bubbles, a prism, white paint, ribbon, and fairy lights) and a wheel to spin that had numbers associated with each of the 5 items. whatever the wheel landed on was the item i had to incorporate into a video as an effect, filter, transition, etc. i used all but one because i’m greedy 😍 i think i was kinda sneaky in my usage, but for anyone who can tell me at least one timestamp of use per item, i’ll send you 3 of my lightroom presets. big thanks to @adobevideo & @mashuplaevent for including me in this challenge, and to @madimakesmusica for letting me use her pretty face in the video 🖤 (at Koreatown, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLsx_Jmg4sT/?igshid=8cxx50rtip7b

missing the amazing team from my last pre-covid shoot in the year that shall not be named (at Koreatown, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK4LC9FAQ73/?igshid=sva98bkp6d8s

this year has challenged me in ways i could have never imagined. i’ve questioned just about everything in my life and things that used to come so easily to me, like feeling inspired to share work i’m excited about on social media, have felt too daunting and out of reach to spare any of the little energy i have each day on. it’s been really inspiring to watch so many others thrive during this weird time but it’s definitely made me a bit envious and hard on myself for not accomplishing all the things i want to do and be. that said, i feel really fortunate to have been booked for some amazing (covid safe) shoots purely from word of mouth. making art has been both challenging and soothing, and what makes me feel most alive, even if i’m not sharing it every step of the way. anyway here’s my amazing friend & client @moonzz who always leaves me feeling emotionally full after our shoots also releasing a horror film tomorrow that i made with the most patient partner in the world @i.am.omri can’t waittt (at Koreatown, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJaDVZEg3OV/?igshid=1gwskabauayyk

happy dang birthday to my fav PICFB (partner in chocolate fountain breakfast) 👯‍♀️ so happy i got to travel the world with you and our amazing tour fam, and make so many of my fav photos around the world with you. wish i could celebrate you and your graduation from S T A N F O R D irl today (no more doing homework on tour !!!) but know that i am soooo proud of you and feel lucky to know you 💕 (at TourFamily) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAzEQaBA1by/?igshid=jug9ocyz0pwo

in-camera rainbow flares 🌈 not digital and actually i couldn’t duplicate the exact positioning of the flares even if i tried. an ex got me a cosmic/nebula projection lamp years and years ago, and when it stopped working, i took it apart and now use one of the parts as a sort of filter that looks really awkward to see me use in real life. and even though only around 10% of the shots yield exciting results, the ones that do make it extra rewarding for me (at Koreatown, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAnvxGcALJf/?igshid=1jufziiqng62w

what’s your fav thing you’ve irresponsibly wasted money on for fun? thinking of making mine tom delonge’s alien research company which offers absolutely nothing in return besides potential delusions of me being close to tom and one day convincing him to go back to blink 182 (at The REEF L.A.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CALoY3dAuII/?igshid=2zu4gdxrbrwq

how many different lights were used to shoot this? really often i’m asked specific questions about how i handle my colors on set as well as in post, plus equipment recommendations (link in bio) but i’m kinda hesitant to answer— not just because i went to school for photography and have built up my knowledge + habits for over 10 years, but how i treat colors isn’t a science. i don’t have a magic formula for on set or post prod, and most of the time i figure out what feels right with my eyes and the feeling i get in my chest (probably serotonin) when i look at the colors. it’s something that i can’t teach but it comes with practice. that said, before you can excel at an art you have to master the science of it. if you can train yourself to work backwards when you see nice lighting and figure out each source of light (angle, color, density) by practicing, you’ll learn the technical side of it and free up your brain to work on the fun part ✨ (at Koreatown, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/CADqtO6g3GP/?igshid=10bulgw3gyrye

very old pic because very often my brain doesn’t allow me to approve of my own coloring until i look at a photo roughly one million times and make countless micro changes in between that probably no one else will notice !!! (at DTLA) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_29NFWgYLb/?igshid=15ffi0sdykmma

oldie with @stephaniericemusic and my good for nothing butler, smithers. for anyone who lives with another person during quarantine i highly recommend picking up something or someone you can both blame for things going wrong so you don’t get annoyed with each other. for example, smithers always leaves the cabinets open, forgets to refill the ice tray when it’s empty, and is SO slow to put clean dishes away 😒 we’ve had him since costco’s halloween season last year but you better believe as soon as this pandemic is over he is fired as hell (at Koreatown, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_YH1YVgIOS/?igshid=1w5e5l6s490hl

by far the least typical headshots i’ve ever taken- for @thepreative’s roster, where you find find your next music video dream team (pick me pick me). also in case you didn’t know, @thepreative is still fully in operation for animation, stop motion, claymation, vfx & green screen lyric videos + music videos ✨ (at Koreatown, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Fql6zgtsI/?igshid=1uo248ybryco8

gentle reminder that almost all the studio shots i post were taken in my home studio and that i can still shoot content, album art, teasers, etc (sans humans other than me or omri) while quarantined. also might drop a music video i shot directed & edited soon idk (at Koreatown, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_AbQwzgtwM/?igshid=emuijxzbr7ff
