I’ve been working on a new photo show for the past few months with a dear friend of mine. Here are the details...

Mad World is a photo collaboration between Lauren Max, photographer, and Naomi Rincon, hair and make-up artist. Together, they've created a new portrait series that focuses on a fantasy world all their own by pairing natural settings and elements with unusual and futuristically-styled models as their subjects.

The Factory // 1216 10th Ave, Seattle, WA // August 13, 2015 // 6-10pm

RSVP here.

Jude and I recently worked together on creating tote bags out of one of my favorite images from the “On the Shores of Aurora” series I shot awhile back... She also collaborated with some of my favorite female Seattle artists for this series: Sacha Peet, Shannon Perry, and Ursula Rose.

I had the pleasure of being in a photo show last month alongside other talented photographers Ashley Armitage, Makenzie Stone, and Allyce Andrew. These are the pieces I showed, a collection of some of my favorite female portraits taken over the past few years. 

Visit the Lola Sea blog here for a full catalog of everyone's work and some snapshots from the opening.

Here's a couple of phone snaps that I took during the group photo show I am in this month at Flatcolor Gallery, as well as a closer look at the portraits I submitted. It's up for just a few more days, so go check it out if you haven't yet! 

The gallery is located at 77 S. Main St. in Pioneer Square, and they're open Wednesday-Saturday from 12-6pm.

All work is also up for sale on Flatcolor's website.
