405 & 101

Last Friday I was invited to the shoot with new faces from LA Models at Khoa Bui studio in LA. There was a bunch of lovely people getting together enjoying their creative times. I met some great photographers, videographers, makeup artists, bookers from the agency, stylist and the models. I found the LA creatives very energetic, friendly, down to earth and basically easy to hang out with. Some said I'm just lucky to get to meet nice people only here... true or not??

Khoa and his studio crew were amazing. They worked closely like family and very generous to share everything they had with the stranger, which was me.

I was also inspired by the way they worked. Very professional, accurate and detail oriented. At the same time They knew how to enjoy themselves.

I had so much fun and didn't just want to leave the studio even after the shoot.

On my way home I was thinking back of the great day and that really helped for not falling asleep in the traffic. I was traveling on 101 & 405 towards OC at 5pm on Fri. You know what I mean if you live in So Cali..

The girls under the bridge

A few days ago I was lucky enough to work with great creatives for a spring editorial.

The models were Sofia(VISION LA) and Erica(NEXT LA) who had beautiful looks and awesome personalities. It was so easy to work with these 2 girls. And the makeup artist Angel(http://thedolledup.com/)created amazing work on the girls. Then the stylist Krystal styled them up real edgy. Kind of D&G inspired.

We drove around in Silverlake area and stopped by at a few spots then shot. We got some cool images under the bridge capturing the arches etc. I love shooting on location mixing models with the background and making stories that match the feel of the location. Since I moved to So Cal, I've never had to worry about the weather so trying to set up as many location shoots as possible. It is simply fun to shoot outdoor using natural light.

I am sharing the images here very soon!
