MATTRESS X FUNAKI

A pictorial I'm working on taking portraits of mattresses thrown away on the street. Stay Tuned!!

The Homie VITAL

I met VITAL through one of my clients. He was cool to shoot too. I wanted to capture some portraits that had a strong presence and an intense look. As I was shooting I was telling him that I was surprised noone had come through yet to bother us like the railroad police. No more than a few a minutes passed when a cop came and treated us like we were doing something so horrific. We are only taking some pictures and that is it. We had to give a whole explanation as to what we were doing. He made me lose my concentration!!

New Era

One of my clients over at Starstrcuk records has his new material coming out. Younghype is a hip hop artist based out of Long Beach and performs regularly in LA. He has been a great client and wish him much success with this new project.

Girls night out!!!

I was doing a photoshoot with artist Bodega Man and Uniteus a few months back for a collaboration album they are working on. As we were wrapping up the session one of those unexpected moments occured. On our way back to the parking lot we noticed an entrance to a club and it was beginning to fill up. I noticed these girls getting ready to go in and the opportunity was too good to pass so I just asked "would you mind smiling for the camera" and as if on cue they did these poses and I snapped 1 photo. I hope to add this to the exhibition collection for 2011. Its called "Girls night out"
