A few months back I shared a little insight into the creative process of developing the concept that would soon become my first ever solo photography exhibit, a collection of abstract bodyscape portraits inspired by the neo-expressionist paintings of Jean-Michel Basquiat.

I've sure shot a lot of wedding this year for someone who is not at all a wedding photographer, or even close to one. But the truth is I've always found them a lot of fun, and do genuinely enjoy going to friends' weddings. So when a friend and colleague inquires about said services, I find myself inclined to say yes. Especially if it means I get to shoot them my way...
Larrabure Wedding, 2015
For anyone who didn't get it, by "my way" I mean drunk and with a Pentax 67. Moving on...
It was a small ceremony held at The Raymond in Pasadena, which turned out to be an incredible venue. Both in terms of lighting and of space.
The Bride, 2015

A good friend and creative collaborator Anninka and I took a stroll around Santa Monica while I broke in my new-to-me Bronica ETRS and Canon AE-1...
Meet Anninka, Costume Designer and muse.
This was my first time venturing out into Santa Monica since moving to Los Angeles. I arrived here with the mindset of a permanent resident, so I never really explored the city much before just "living" in it. Anninka graciously offered to show me around, and became my reluctant muse for the day. A few of the photographs captured on this day still remain some of my all-time favorites.
This certainly wouldn't be our last shoot.
