Perfect brand photos? Sure they do happen. But more often, it is me balancing on an apple box telling the model to get ready here comes the water spray “sweat” bottle. Sometimes the real magic is the laughter and unscripted moments between takes. I feel that’s when everyone is most relaxed and light on their feet and just having fun.
Behind every polished shot is a perfectly imperfect process… and honestly that’s where the magic and emotion lives.
I love behind the scenes pictures. I recently was on a photo walk during the king tide in Santa Monica. It occurs twice a year where amazing reflections from lights cast down on the wet sand and the water below.
While I did capture quite a bit of the ferris wheel and deep orange glowy sunset. I wanted something different. I captured the photographers standing in line and one accidentally by himself. Technically these are not great but I had fun exploring new techniques.
