Labubu.

My wife recently inherited a bag full of unopened boxes of Labubus from a friend who suddenly decided to step away from it. Out of curiosity, we opened a few. And then a few more. Neither of us knows much about next-gen toy figures, so we were blown away by the details and overall quality…

Fairytales.

Today’s theme was fairytales, which was definitely a step outside my usual comfort zone. Some of the corsets were designed by Cheri from the Anaheim studio I used to shoot at. As always, her work didn’t disappoint. They were beautiful, detailed, and incredibly well thought out. She has a way of making each piece feel…

Anna.

A local designer reached out to me and a few other photographers to help showcase her latest work. Surprisingly enough, she also works with corsets. But her specialty leans heavily into steampunk. Lately, I’ve been drawn more and more to that style, so this project couldn’t have come at a better time. The designs were…

Halloween.

And not long after my first shoot back, I jumped into another one. October being what it is, of course the theme was Halloween. Darker looks, dramatic makeup, costumes with just the right amount of flair. It all came together into that October vibe. There were a number of models at this shoot. One of…

Networking.

Not long after my return, I stumbled across a local photography group that was organizing a shoot in the next town over. I figured, why not. It was a chance to ease back into the scene and maybe meet some people along the way. I’m still settling in, so I didn’t end up shooting much…

Still here.

I’m still alive. It’s been a long nine months since my last post, and I wish I could say things have been exciting, but the truth is, most of my days have been swallowed up by work, leaving me with very little room for anything else. That said, I did manage to carve out a…

Farewell.

This might be my last shoot for the year. Life’s been a bit bumpy lately, and I can’t help but wonder if I need a change of scenery. Or maybe even walk away from everything I’ve built just to figure out where I really belong. Or perhaps it’s time to step back and breathe, to…

Superheroes and villains.

I had a feeling Cheri was up to something, but I never imagined it would be this. Turns out she had secretly been designing superhero outfits built around her specialty: corsets. And she didn’t just sketch them out, she actually brought them to life. The best part is she already had everyone’s measurements, so she…

The New Year.

Another shoot to kick off the new year, and it definitely set the tone for what’s to come. The designer went all out with the wardrobe. Every piece had an extra level of detail and flair that made it stand out. To top it off, we even had a slightly famous model step in to…

Publicity shoot.

By word of mouth, I got recommend for and ended up getting hired to do a publicity shoot for an up-and-coming vocal artist. I could tell this was going to be more involved than my usual shoots. Her manager was deeply engaged in the entire process, from concept brainstorming to the finer details of the…
