What Do You Believe In?

An Architectural Field Trip in Oakland, California.

Architecture

I’ve been wanting to visit this church in Oakland, California, for some time. I studied architecture my freshman year of college (before majoring in film), and draw a lot of inspiration from the use of space. I went in the afternoon with my camera and explored the building. It was interesting to me how sci-fi and futuristic it looked, since it represents a religion with a history as old as Catholicism’s. Continue reading “What Do You Believe In?”

Wall Mural Family Portraits

Street Art

I love wall mural family portraits. In 2017, I photographed lots of families in front of lots of different walls and street art installations, literally coast to coast. A bunch of these were shot in Cleveland, a couple in New York. And several were captured along the West Coast from Long Beach to San Francisco to Seattle.

Kids Fashion

I shot this kids fashion editorial series of Calista Evangeline on location in Alameda. (She’s a child model in the San Francisco Bay Area.) We started out in one spot and ended up having a whole different series at the beach. Want to see the progression?

The Matted Print Box

Family Photo Display Pieces

A client approached me to shoot their family portraits on location in San Francisco. It was important to them that their photos reflected their artistic taste, because they were keen to create some family photo display pieces for their new home. So they commissioned me to capture it on actual film. We booked a 2-hour session because they wanted it to be relaxed and give them time to warm up to the camera.
