Fashion
Various In-Studio and On Location Fashion Shoot Setups with both Professional and Amateur Models. Beautiful spirits to work with- collaborating on a variety of shoots for: clothing lines, activewear, product lines, 3rd party campaigns and (most recently) cannabis products.
No matter the campaign, model, or product I always take pride in my ability to adjust my eye to fit the needs of the images.

Events
Everything from Celebrity and Private Events to Art Galleries and Musical Shows- Fortunate to have worked with some of the biggest and best agencies and individuals. Images like these are some of my favorites, because it's all about timing and reading your subject in motion. If you snap the shutter a split-second later you can have an entirely different image. This collection is devoted to a series of events, more open for all ages, whereas the collection (below) "Nightlife" is geared more towards adult events.

Lifestyle
Above all else, my favorite types of shoots are Lifestyle photoshoots. Being able to escape to a location with an individual and being able to really study them with a lens. When it comes to natural lighting, I excel and love playing with it (as well as the composition) to craft images that really capture that subjects' spirits. Studio work is fun, but I'm sick of boring white/gray backgrounds- it ruins photos to me. I enjoy collaborating with an agency, client and/or subject and really picking apart the campaign and discovering the overall mood.
What are you trying to say? Who are you trying to reach? Where would you like to go? ... These are the questions I always aim to answer with my eye.

Nightlife
In a little over 22 months I shot solely 300 Nightlife Events, ranging from Dive Bar Burlesque and Performance Art to lavish Theatre holding the latest marquee thrill all across California. It's been a pleasure working with some of the biggest names in entertainment like: The Lalas, Tease if You Please, Suicide Girl's Blackheart Burlesque, Dollhouse Entertainment, Naked Girls Reading, Pan Am After Hours, and so on and so forth. This collection is dedicated to images which dive into the world of adult entertainment. Where stumbling down a back alley, can suddenly lead you to the most unexpected talent.
These are without a doubt some of my favorite images for they really reveal the life of non-stop "burn the candle at both ends" freelance. Proud to say that in less than 3 years, managed to gain work actively with over 3 dozen Nightlife brands/troupes, shot (as of May 1st.) 321 strictly burlesque shows alone, have had my Nightlife work published for LA Weekly 13 Times, as well as numerous publications across the West Coast and Midwest- mainly in terms of Nightlife and Fashion, with a spin on social commentary as well.
