Event date: November 30, 2016

TFTI_LA is an instagram page where they organize random meet ups for the sake of making creating something different than what people normally photograph.

It's always fun and a great way to meet new people such as models, photographers and various performance artists.

This particular night was pretty fun as it was preceeded by another fun performance by a number of YouTube celebrities for the Drop the Mic Lip Sync battle.

In any case, here's something different from my cosplay stuff and I hope you all enjoy it.

Event date: August 11, 2016.

It's been a while since I've posted. Life has gotten a little hectic with taking photos and trying to catch up with editing them all, but last night was all kinds of epic and the shots were good and easy to get ready, I had to post them up right away.

Anyway, April O'Neil was hosting another After School Special event with hip hop artist YNGNFRSH scheduled to perform, and of course I came by to support her. I came more as a friend than a photographer, but when YNGNFRSH hopped on stage, the club got lit. I swapped lenses from capturing cute portrait stuff to throwing you into the whole atmosphere of the night.

After the show April and her friends decided to do some karaoke near by. I didn't have anywhere else to put those photos so they're here too.

​Enjoy.

Shoot Date: May 19, 2016

I met Kallie at a random shoot I participated in a while ago. She was there to accompany her sister to the shoot. There was a small lull in shooting where everyone else was busy except for her, so I decided to grab Kallie and take some photos. The images from there we breathtaking and I knew we had to do more.
We planned a shoot for a few weeks later and we loved what we made. It was one of the best shoots I've done with a first time model. We've shot a few times since then, and she's now in demand by photographers around the country and even took over the Fuse Magazine snapchat for a fun shoot we did. I love breaking in new talent.

Below are just a selection of the many photos taken that day.

Shoot Date: January 15, 2016

The long lasting original Star Girls burlesque ended in December with one hell of a bang. But that wasn't the end. Courtney Cruz's newest incarnation of the show brings a new fresh feel to the from the opening act of the Sithfits to the special David Bowie Tribute by Prince Poppycock. Still housed at Dragonfly in Hollywood, fans of titties and Star Wars from all over Southern California filled the standing room only club from wall to wall. Below are a few takes I was able to grab while I enjoyed the show!

NSFW Model Gallery: Stephanie Jane. San Francisco, California.

PictureStephanie Jane
Shoot Date: January 1, 2016

Back in 2013, I photographed the Treasure Island Music Festival for Myspace. During one of the days, I met Stephanie in the silent disco room partying it up. I took a photo of her and asked for her info to send her a bigger version or let her know whenever it went live. I couldn't remember. 

We became friends on the internet and over time we've come to admire each other's work that we did. Unfortunately, I had just moved to Los Angeles after living in the Bay Area for a number of years, and we never really could get our schedules together.

That is until this year. 
​
I had told her I was going to San Francisco to photograph a New Year's Eve party. I didn't hear from her until early New Year's day, saying she wanted to make it a point to not miss an opportunity to meet up. I couldn't have agreed more. I got my sleep deprived butt out of my friend's bean bag chair, showered, packed my backpack and headed out to Golden Gate Park. The shoot came at a perfect time, as I was feeling burnt out photographing event after event, with the occasional cosplay shoot. It was a good release of getting my mind off of the chaos that are event and concert photography.

Thanks again, Steph for helping me unwind mentally.

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.

NSFW Gallery: Olivia Bellafontaine and Courtney Cruz present "Pussy Bang Bang," An Evening of Grindhouse and Burlesque. Dragonfly. Hollywood, California

8/19/2015

 
Shoot date: August 14, 2015
Still getting a hang a concise format, so bear with me while I hammer things down.
Let me tell you a story about Courtney Cruz. She's one of the coolest chicks I've met, and I was super honored she let me shoot her and the equally babely and awesome Olivia Bellafontaine's brainchild "Pussy Bang Bang." 
What's that you ask? 
Well, remember the Star Girls post that was up a little ago? It's like that, but instead of hot women in Star Wars outfits, they're hot women as iconic grindhouse themed characters, with one exception. Kitten Natividad, from basically every Russ Meyer film, portrayed her bad ass self!

So... I guess, here goes! Enjoy the shots.

NSFW Gallery: The Devil's Playground - Star Girls Burlesque @ Dragonfly. Hollywood, California

8/9/2015

 
July was a hell of a month in general. One of the best parts of it was getting back in with Myspace projects after a hiatus. 
I pitched the idea of covering the Star Girls Burlesque show to my editor early July, and she loved it. 
I ended up shooting the show and doing a quick interviewing its coordinator Courtney Cruz for it.  
Needless to say, I took a ton of photos, many of which were not submitted or used for the article (click for link) that was posted. 
I didn't feel like short changing the talent of the dancers or anyone who happens to follow me and my work, so here is my uncut selection from their July 31 show.
