here, there, nearly everywhere.

had a super productive and eventful weekend. on friday we ventured down to san diego to photograph scene #3 of my new conceptual series (still untitled). it's coming along great so far, can't wait to see what it ends up evolving into. check out this BTS photo of us shooting on the beach in SD, and the sushi that preceded the shoot, ahaha.




yesterday (sunday), we ventured out to manhattan beach, to photograph georgia jones. the shoot went great, i'll post a few finals once i'm able to narrow down the selections. again, some more BTS photos that xander was able to snag:

my first film.

Finally chopped up some footage and slapped something together. Can't wait to learn more. Everything was filmed with a Canon 7D and mostly a 50mm f/1.2 L.

Wu-Tang Clan

Over the weekend I was up in San Francisco to photograph Rock The Bells. In particular, to photograph one of the most prolific hip hop acts of all time, the Wu-Tang Clan. They performed their iconic album "36 Chambers" in it's entirety, (something that may never happen again). On top of this, they also had O.D.B.'s son, Boy Jones, on stage with them, rapping his father's parts. O.D.B. was a founding member of Wu-Tang, he passed away back in 2004, 2 days before his birthday.

*Special thanks to my doods Taylor + Jeepilicious for being dope, and willing to help me do my thang, ahaha.



GZA + Masta Killa, pre-show.

Rock The Bells, San Francisco.

A series of portraits of hip hop artist's that I photographed while up in SF over the weekend. Due to the hectic schedule of the festival, I only had a few moments with each artist. In some cases, only a few frames. Shooting under pressure really forced me to get down to business...
