Redfin blog - Los Angeles photo spots
I was excited to participate in an article on Redfin.com about unique places to take pictures in Los Angeles. Go check it out for some great insider tips and locations!
One Thread Collective - shot at The Four Seasons Biltmore Santa Barbara, CA
Jackie Gilbert, co-founder of One Thread Collective (https://www.onethreadcollective.com) approached me to shoot her line up of totes and handbags crafted by Colombian women artisans. After learning about the brand I immediately said yes!
One Thread Collective is a non-profit social enterprise dedicated to women’s empowerment and sustainability in communities with limited access to resources and services. They connect mindful consumers and rural artisans via a fair trade platform to provide a more meaningful shopping experience. All products are ethically sourced with full artisan recognition. All purchases help provide a fair salary to the women, ensure safe working conditions, and promote the ancestral tradition of weaving.
Colombian Artisans
My challenge was to photograph these incredible bags, called “Mochillas” by the Wayuu artisans, in multiple locations featuring multiple models and do it all in one day. Check out the gallery below!
Malibu Mylk
Malibu Mylk is a flax milk brand founded by Brittany Fuisz based in Los Angeles, CA. They sell all kinds of delicious drinks including ready-to-drink coffee and matcha flavors in cans. I had the opportunity to shoot some of her new products at the end of 2021. Wanting to stay on trend with the vibrant, graphic style of social media imagery, we opted for solid, playful colors and fun geometric props as well as integrating ingredients. Check out the gallery below!
In 2021, marketing agency Oniracom approached me to shoot cohesive lifestyle and branding images for the launch of Antonio Buell’s new album “Tabula Rasa”. Antonio is an emerging artist and first impressions are so important in the branding game so I was excited about the opportunity to help Antonio break out. The creative brief called for a mix of coastal and pastoral settings as well as “piano bar vibes”. Antonio also wanted to foreground his 1957 Ford Thunderbird as a strong compositional element in many of the photos. We had a great team of creative on board including creative director Ford Minton, stylist Elske Free and account strategist Dalida Arakelian. Please check out the gallery below to see a selection from the campaign!
Susan Faris is a fashion designer in Los Angeles, CA specializing in cross body iPhone cases, lip kit cases, beauty bags, cosmetics and more. I had the pleasure of shooting some of her new products recently. Check out the gallery below!
