High school senior photos have always seemed a little boring to me and I never really wanted to pursue marketing myself as a senior portrait photographer. However, when Trevor asked if I would be interested in doing a "fashion" type photo shoot for his senior portrait I didn't hesitate to get him in front of the camera. I thought it was a great idea! We had a blast taking his senior fashion photos all around Santa Barbara. Trevor did an amazing job modeling considering it was his first time. His sister Cristina actually modeled for me a while back and I am sure she taught him a few things about modeling, check out her photos HERE.
I had a blast this past weekend photographing Amie who drove all the way from Chino for the photo shoot. The photos will be displayed in LF Clothing and Salon U which are located on State Street in Santa Barbara. Enjoy!
This past weekend I traveled down to the Del Mar race track for a fashion photo shoot for the Charlie M. Collection. We got access to the paddock area where the horses are pranced around for onlookers. We had our own onlookers during the shoot and we even had a few of the jockeys come out and model with the Charlie M. girls. We had a blast! Check out the video of photo shoot below.
My own philosophy on life has always been reflected in my photography. Photography is not a simple mirror image of people and their lives. Photography has the power to turn fantasy into reality and forces new thoughts and ideas. Oscar Wilde once said that “Life imitates art, far more than art imitates life”, and I think he was right. It is my passion to enrich the lives of others through my own art of photography, and to allow people to capture their lives in a way that fuels their imagination and their dreams.
