Do you ever have that moment in the week (every day), where you feel fiery as f*%k? One minute I feel like a whimsical butterfly and the next minute...one of the dragons in Game of Thrones. Let's all take a moment to respect this totally acceptable and very normal behavior. It happens. Life happens. We are all beautiful, no matter what state of mind.
Here is a photo I shot of the beautiful Monica Adeng. She is the sweetest woman ever but I definitely captured her feisty side ;).
Creating an open, playful, and comfortable environment is a necessity to me. When two people vibe with each other and let go of insecurities, a special beauty radiates from within each person. We are a reflection of one another. THAT is the magic I crave when shooting as well as the connection I seek with anyone that comes into my life or stands in front of my camera.
Sarah McTaggert...This girl is not only an INSANE singer/songwriter/painter/ARTIST, she gets my weirdness and is always down to ride on whatever idea I have...only she makes it BETTER. This girl shines, and their is no way you can take your eyes off of her. Check out this shoot we did together about 2 weeks ago. We collaborated on hair and makeup, and threw together this beautifully random Spice Girl meets alien grunge shoot. I couldn't be happier with the results. BABEEE. Comment. Love. :))
One of my favorite things to do in LA on my free time you ask? Collaborating with Stephen Cornelius on hair for photo shoots, photographing beautiful souls, drinkin' whiskey, and listening to classic rock...Now- combine all of those things...and ya got me dancing with joy all night. Check out the results and the ridiculous fun I had with Stephen Cornielus (INSTA: @guysdohair), Kristen Greggerson (INSTA: @whatupkristen), and Jess Utley (INSTA: @jutley18).
A few nights ago I met up with one of my dearest friends, muse, and extremely talented designer- Brittney Garcia, AKA "Wiggy". We were looking to get weird and show off her newly designed bralette. I wanted the shoot to feel grungy, simple, and keep it spontaneous! I threw my flash on, creeped around my hood, and made her climb on cars. It's liberating to let go of technique and just HAVE FUNNNNNN. Follow her on Instagram : @mbrinnyg
