Dressing for a protest

I had a chance to do a lot of photography at the recent picketing and marches in Los Angeles. As I edited the photos, it became apparent that a lot of the marchers paid close attention to what they were wearing.

I love this type of editorial photography. Gives me a chance to shoot what is happening and many times I come up with ideas that I can incorporate into later shoots.

Ocean shoot

Wanted to take advantage of an underwater housing for my camera that I rented for underwater shoot I had set up. Arranged this shoot at the beach and did shots that I never would have gotten without that protection for my camera.
We did some shots of them walking and some yoga shots of Paul while waitng for the light to be just wanted I wanted. Then we started shooting in the water for a very intense 25 minutes.

Models: Paul Teodo and Veronica Glass.

Summer Heat

Did this shoot and have always loved the images.  I was working on getting heat and the warmth of the summer through the lighting and color of the lighting. Using this location with the water gave us something to work with.

"Coming to LA" France

Was lucky enough to be introduced to Naomi, a woman from France. She agreed to be in our photo project, "Coming To LA". We are also able to shoot her in a restaurant "Le Petite Cafe" by Magali, the woman who introduced us.

Box Springs

Found this box springs in Arizona outside of Flagstaff. Just had to bring it home to shoot with!

ballet

Had shot with the model in red before. She had a friend who also did ballet that she wanted to shoot with. We did some ballet type shots but I wanted to do some non dancing photos of the two of them also.

It is useful to come up with more than one idea for a location
