Film Strips With Reed | A Kodak Portra 400 120 Film Strip

Film Strips With Reed | A Kodak Portra 400 120 Film Strip

Normally, film strips are reserved for the 'Nostalgia' Tier, but today we are making an exception. I scanned this negative yesterday when I was sifting through some old film and absolutely had to scan it. Enjoy!

A Portrait Of Alea Rain

A Portrait Of Alea Rain

More to come from this look. Alea came over recently to use my studio for a passion project she was working on, but she got here a little early so we could shoot a couple of looks. When I was importing these images into my Lightroom and saw this one, I absolutely had to edit it. Looking at an image like this makes me love that my Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art is back in action. Enjoy!

Bored On Set With Reed

Bored On Set With Reed

A long long time ago, Reed and I worked a photo gig together. Well, we were both models. We were hired by a furniture company to be in some of their E-Comm/Print images and we had to be the people making the furniture look good and damn did we make it look good. As with any production, it is a lot of hurry up and wait. We arrived on set in Lake Arrowhead at around 7A.M. and we were greeted with...

Analogue With Aubrey Castillo | A Collection Of Polaroids

Analogue With Aubrey Castillo | A Collection Of Polaroids

You can say that I have had quite a big love affair with Circle Frame Edition as of late. It is the only 600 Type film I have in my fridge besides a pack of Blue DuoChrome Edition, but I am saving that for a special something. I purchased what feels like an almost endless supply of the Circle Frame Edition so I have been the exact opposite of frugal with it. It sometimes feels good to 'shoot fr...

A Brief Inquiry Into A Busy Life

A Brief Inquiry Into A Busy Life

I have not had a second to myself as of late, which means that I have not been able to really edit or produce too much new content. My day job has overtaken my life but once again here we are where it feels like things are starting to level out. I have made it a mental note that I will not let myself get so deeply intrenched in one thing moving forward and will leave time for all of the things ...

Analogue With Meredith Devine | A Collection Of Polaroids

Analogue With Meredith Devine | A Collection Of Polaroids

Yesterday was a pretty momentous day. My dear friend Meredith decided to cut her hair for the first time in several years. For the entire time I have known Meredith, she has had long and flowing hair down to her lower back. I found out about this massive change one night while out to dinner with her and her boyfriend, Justin. She lightly brushed over it and I hauled the conversation saying "Woa...

There will be more to come, but I wanted to share these right away since I love them all so much.


Aubrey flew into Los Angeles from South Carolina several days ago to vacation, shoot and hang out. I picked her up from the airport and we have spent a lot of time adventuring and shooting. She extended her stay until next Tuesday so we will have more Polaroids to share. For now, e...

Fading Light With Embodoe

Fading Light With Embodoe

One of the best things about living in Los Angeles is having the immense amount of creatives in close proximity to be able to shoot. This lady moved to Los Angeles during the thick of the pandemic, but I am so glad she did. We have been able to connect and establish an amazing friendship over the time that she has lived here.


On this day she came over for a quick catch up and a...

Only Her With Hades

Only Her With Hades

As I said in the analogue post from this shoot, it has been a very long while since I have seen this lady. In fact, probably almost two years. The last time I was able to see Hades was in Portland, Oregon. A brief trip to the Pacific Northwest complete with a night of heavy drinking and her first strip club experience. Hades and I used to FaceTime about four times a week and we would even do so...

Spanish for 'Let me steal your soul', it was the first thing that came to mind when I finished this set.


A little while back I was able to borrow my friend Andy's continuous light set up for some artificial fun. Well, the fun was real but the light was artificial. Mac just so happen to come up to Los Angeles when I had them and we decided to play around. She sent me this photo ...

A Vintage Red Dress With Reed

A Vintage Red Dress With Reed

This was one of the last shoots I had before I realized my Sigma 500mm 1.4 Art was broken. Thankfully I was able to get through this shoot with a maximum range of f/1.4 to f/2.2. The aperture selector spring on the rear on the camera finally gave out after four years of beating it to hell. It is currently at the Sigma repair facility in a rinky dink town in New York. I can only hope to have it ...

A Portrait Session With Satan's Sister

A Portrait Session With Satan's Sister

What a small world.


I feel as if I am always meeting people who I have probably crossed paths with in the past without even knowing it. This lady hails from Rhode Island, not but an hour from where I lived for over a decade. When we got together for a first time shoot, she told me that she would frequent Central Connecticut often. We panned over where would could have possible ...

Apologies on the delayed release. Patreon's scheduled post tool must have messed up a little.


Most shoots are always a 'day for the books' so to speak, this one was no different. It was my first time shooting out in one of my favorite landscapes in a long while. Danielle lives about an hour north of Phoenix and I made sure to set an entire day aside for this lady. I made my way...

Analogue With Lu Bellah | A Collection Of Polaroids

Last night I had the pleasure of getting together with my dear friend Lu for the first time in just shy of a year. When she first arrived at my studio we got into the elevator and she reminded me that it has been almost a year since we last saw one another. I denied it immediately because my mind did not want to accept that much time had passed. Turns out, 363 days was the number. Just two days...

Future Eyes With Mara Ohara

Future Eyes With Mara Ohara

It has been a long while since I have shot with Mara, but that recently changed. Lately when Mara has come to the studio it has been to shoot some e-comm for her product line. Mara and a couple of models would come over, shoot quick through her new merchandise and off she would go. A few weeks ago we set up a day to shoot through some of the ideas we had thrown back and forth with one another a...

Sometimes and only sometimes, photos get lost. Well, in this case not lost but more along the lines of missed.


The last time I saw Bixton was years ago and we shot back to back within a couple weeks of each other. With each shoot we covered several different looks and this was the last one that we shot. Whenever I shoot multiple looks with a model I always like to space them ou...

Analogue With Anna Lisa Wagner | A Collection Of Polaroids

Today was Anna's last day in Los Angeles before she headed out for the rest of her trip and the start of her vacation. I asked her this morning if she would want to shoot some Polaroids before she left and despite technically today was suppose to be her first day of no work, she got ready and posed for me. We shot two looks today and I am elated with both.

I know I have been predominantly posting analogue in recent times, but that is really all I have the time for right now. I can promise that the regularly scheduled programing of a mix of digital and analogue will resume soon. Analogue is just so much easier for me to process through right now with everything I have going on with my day job.

Last minute get togethers seem to be the tone to our friendship but hey, I cannot say that I can complain. I love seeing friends in the spur of the moment, especially when they live hundreds of miles away.


On Saturday morning I was going through my normal routine of taking Kylea on a walk, making coffee and enjoying some soft piano echoing through my studio. What felt like was ...
