Pita made some pants and wanted some pics. I saw some wide angle fashion shots and wanted to try it out. A perfect match (and some very fun, bright photos).

Portraits || Edward
Some photos of Edward that I took in January. Forgot how beautiful these were.
Fashion Portrait || Sho
One of my faves came back home over winter break! Sho texted me in December letting me know that she’d be back in town for break and we had to shoot. I scoped out this beautiful corner in West Oakland and boom! we had all the backgrounds we needed. Sho was a gem as always and we had a great time catching up and taking photos.

And, here is Part II. For these shots we went to one of my favorite places on Berkeley campus near Moffitt Library. I loved playing with the shadows and rays of natural light to create these edgy fashion shots. The depth of field in these also adds to the dramatic vibe; my 50mm 1.4 is a real one.

I had the pleasure of getting to shoot Kennedy & Morgan Mason again. The last time we shot, Morgan and Kennedy met me in downtown Oakland we took advantage of all of the graffiti and brick walls in Old Oakland. This time, we ventured into downtown Berkeley to find a good backdrop for their colorful outfits. The exterior of the new BAM/PFA building gave us some interesting looks and, of course, I had to throw in some shots against a white wall. I love how these photos turned out; the definitely captured the vibe I was going for: angular, fashion-y, and just a little bit weird.
Stay tuned for part II.

Edward's back! This time I was going for punchy colors and contrast that would make my photos jump off the page. Did I achieve it?
I am pretty happy with how these turned out. I used some of the tips I learned at the Dirtbag workshop and messed around a bunch with vibrance. My favorite location was the beautiful poppy wall! And my favorite shot is the one of Edward laughing in front of the brick wall.
Overall, it was great to catch up and hang out and Edward's outfits are always 10/10.

This first set are the photos with a more natural feel to them. I got to use my prism and Prince LOVED it.

Portrait || Edward & Eli
After I a recent bout of inspiration to go take photos Edward, Eli, and I headed to a couple of local spots to shoot! I have recently been into using my 24mm lens for portraits; I am digging how the wider angle makes full body shots look more interesting.

Living without wifi is both blessing and a curse; a blessing because it is actually relaxing to not be constantly checking social media and watching Netflix, but a curse because sometimes I fall behind with keeping my photography-related endeavors up to date.
