SOMETHING . LIKE . A . PHOTOGRAPHER

Model Gallery: Misty Rose. Travel Town. Los Angeles, California

Misty Rose
​​​Shoot Date: November 22, 2011
So I met Misty back in January of 2010. Not really sure how we ended up meeting up, but I'm positive the first time we did, we took photos. Since then we've had many random photographic adventures. We've randomly adventured in Topanga Canyon, had a few crazy deals in cemeteries and industrial alleys. Most recently, she moved out to Texas to her family, to raise her son. I'd be lying to say that I don't miss her, because she was always down for anything. 
While I was looking through some archived shots to post for a throwback thursday on Instagram, I came across this shoot we did, that wasn't publicised as much at other ones we did. So I figured this would be the best place to post some.
It won't tide me over for long though. I can't get enough of her inspiration and excitement. 
Luckily she'll be back in October, where I plan to get in as much photo time with her until she has to leave back to Texas.

Words: "5 Questions" With Andi René Christensen

9/13/2015

Andi R. ChristensenAndi René Christensen
I met Andi a few months ago while shooting "Taking Back Tuesday," a club night run by Emo Night LA. She was introduced to me along with a whole bunch of friends that I'm sure you'll meet at some point in this series' existence. 

On the actual first night of meeting her, we ended up hanging out after I was done photographing, and we got some Mexican food and chilled at her place for a few. I got to learn more about her and realized she was hella cool.

Yeah, I said "hella."

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, and she asked if I'm down to take some photos of her where she said:
I'm down to do it as an almost editorial shoot, as if you were interviewing me. aside from that, throw in a couple of solid close ups, headshot-esque, fashion-esque... I'd be entirely thrilled.

I figured this might as well be a good excuse to do another 5 questions. Once the photo taking was finished, we grabbed a drink and sat down at 82, where we had an alcohol-laced interview about the writer turned actor. So here goes!

G: You dabble in both acting and writing. How many screenplays have you written?
A: I currently have four or so scripts in development. I completed my first one when I was 18, which has never seen the light of day because I didn't want it to. I just needed to get that one, completed, 110 page screenplay under my belt. But at the moment, I’ve been working on the first script that will officially make it on to a screen, entitled "Katharsis." My team and I are in the earliest stages of pre-production right now, just recently established the project's production company, Fourth Take Films, LLC. I dig slice-of-life films, but my personal favorite is "Rift". It's a pretty big budget dystopian, sci-fi [screenplay], a lot of fun to write - "Hunger Games" meets "Death Proof" meets "28 Days Later." I'm really stoked about it, but I'm not rushing it because it IS such a big budget project. So, I have this slice-of-life film, "Katharsis" first. Then I'll follow it up with a thriller I've been working on called "Bishop," then I'd like to follow that up with "Rift."

Gallery/Video: Charlie Pearl. Lake Balboa, California - Bonus Video

9/7/2015

Shoot Date: September 5, 2015
The last thing a model wants to hear is that her shoot is cancelled. Especially if the photographer was the one who reached out to her. On this particular day, Charlie Pearl of Better Off Young had everything planned out for the photographer who was going to drive down to her. An hour before their scheduled shoot time, he cancelled for some non-important reason. She snapchatted the saddest photo of herself all made up and nowhere to go. Luckily I was in my PJs with nothing going on as well. She gave me a call and we had a fun quick impromptu shoot that saved both of us from staring at our ceilings.

Gallery: Anime California. Anaheim, California

9/6/2015

 
Shoot Date: August 29, 2015 
The last weekend of my August was chalk full of cosplay. It's not something I've looked too much into until recently, but lately it seems that my camera is pulling me wherever cosplayers happen to be. This particular gallery consists of when I had the urge to head down to Anaheim, and meet up with some friends over at Anime California the Saturday between Star Girls Burlesque and Geek Pride. This wasn't so much as a mission to take as many photos of costumed attendees but rather to enjoy and pick and choose who I get to work with. My associate Calvin and I probably spent roughly 4 hours there, with a large lull in the middle of it, while my friend Flip arrived a day before and spent the night nearby to get a head start on the festivities. It almost turned into a fiasco like San Diego Comic-Con, but luckily it was nowhere near the shitshow that was.

Here are my favorites from my evening in Anaheim.

The best part about the weekend was when we went to Slater's 50/50 and almost died from food coma.

NSFW Gallery: STAR GIRLS BURLESQUE Aug 28 / Courtney Cruz Bday Bash. Dragonfly. Hollywood, California

9/4/2015

 
Shoot date: August 28, 2015
Short and sweet, this particular weekend was full of cosplay. It started off with hitting up The Dragonfly for Courtney Cruz's birthday /slash/ the monthly Star Girls Burlesque show. After shooting two Devil's Playground performances (galleries here and here), I thought I'd do something different, and bust out the ol' portrait-taking rig and create images of some of the performers when they weren't on stage killing it.
I'll split it up in a couple of sections, portraits first then some snaps I stole of them inside and on stage.

Enjoy.
