Tiffany | Treasure Island Fashion Shoot

I often talk about how I'm torn between light and dark. I love deep, earthy tones found in caves, streams, forests, and mountains. But lately I've been called to color. Or, maybe it would be more accurate to say that I've become addicted to color. Bright, warm, candy colors. I can't get enough. I wish that every building in the world was a different color. But maybe then it wouldn't be as special. For this shoot, I wanted to shoot somewhere I hadn't shot before. Somewhere that may only be beautiful in the eyes of a photographer. Well, if you've ever been to Treasure Island in San Francisco, you may know what I'm talking about. Originally built for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition (yes, it's an artificial island), Treasure Island has seen better days. I'm actually quite shocked it hasn't been developed. It's stuck in a 1960s-70s era of former schools, military buildings, and storage containers. Ugly to most people, but I saw so much structural and colorful potential.

I never thought I'd love storage containers as much as I did on this shoot. Of course, I had an amazing team that helped make this happen!

As you may have noticed, I love symmetry. I love odd numbers that allow one central focal piece to be surrounded on either side by duplicates of itself. I love the repetition that identical objects create as they cascade into the depth of the photo. Quintuplets are hard to find. (If you know any, send them my way!) So, for this shoot, I had to get a bit creative. What you see below is one model, Ksenia Koulechova, composited into 3-5 clones of herself.

Watch the behind-the-scenes video to see how I shot and composited these images.

Laney | Gold Country Photoshoot

As I've said before, I truly believe that sometimes the greatest shoots come from last minute planning. This shoot came together in about 24 hours, after I searched for models in the Calaveras County area and found model Laney Miller, who just happened to be available. It was a bit of a climb down to this little-known cave, but it was so worth it.
