So I woke up and it was raining. I was pissed because I wanted to shoot and I don't know anyone who's ever down to shoot in the rain. So Anna said she was down and I was like alight bet! So she cruised over, I originally wanted to do something at the park, but when I drove by one, I was thinking nahhhhh that wont work. I ALWAYS pre-visualize my shots before I take them. And the whole park thing wasn't working in my brain. Then I remembered this dope ass bridge by north park that I was supposed to shoot at a few weeks ago, but the model flaked(surprised? lol). We got to the spot and yeah the shots came out real good. Knocked that shit out in like 30 min.

here's the series thats on my MM profile. I'll put a few different ones on my site during the week.

How to take a shitty picture of Los Angeles

Ok so here's what you do:
1.You go to the 6th street bridge in L.A where there is no parking allowed.
2.You have someone drop you off and make a u turn, in which during that process you'll be taking a picture.
3.You turn your ISO up way to high, that way all the grain can show in your picture
4.Pick an exposure setting that wont evenly distribute the lighting in the sky
5.Leave your tripod at home of course, lol that should have been step 2 actually.
6.Snap a few pics, change settings and snap again.
7.Realize that your ride has now turned around and get your ass back in the car before you get mugged hahah.

Im going back ASAP to retake this shitty ass picccccccccc

I shoot whatever is in front of my camera

Man oh man do people love to run their mouths :) I love controversy though. At the end of the day it makes me better as an artist. All it does is inspire me more and more to rip apart the game and etch my fucking name all over it. Whats funny is how, anytime I do a shoot with a female model someone always has something negative to say. It could be the dopest picture ever, but because the model isn't skinny enough according to your standards, or tall enough for your standards, or PRETTY enough for your standards you gotta run your mouth.

I got into photography to create art, bring my visualizations to life, show the world and the people around me of how I see certain things. This isnt a fucking beauty contest. I could care less if you like the attributes of the model or person I'm shooting. My job as an artist is to make anything and everything look good. I dont care what you put in front of me. You put a fucking possum in front of me and i'll make it the dopest possum on the WEST COAST. word to your mother.

So when I post up pictures and someone wants to critique my photo, but give me feedback on the model instead of the shot its annoying as fuck. If the white balance is off, the horizon is off balanced, lighting is fucked up, etc etc thats perfectly fine. But dont sit her and talk to me about who's ugly and who's fat and who can't pose. Usually these people running they're mouths are too scared to shoot, have NEVER did a shoot, or dont know anything about photography in general.

With that said, saturday night I didnt have shit to do. So I hit up the homegirl Flor to roam downtown and sneak into some spots. Major fail lol. Couldnt get to the rooftop of where I wanted to go but I found some other cool locations. Enjoy the pictures bitches. :)

Side Walk When She Walks...

part 2 of the shoot with nessa :)

" No One Can Stop Us..."

Lets get straight to the point. I've wanted to do this shoot since about 8 months ago. The day I saw this rail I knew exactly what angle and how I wanted to capture it. At first we were going to come really late at night and do the shoot, but at night theres less people and easy for security to see whats going on. I hit up the plaza bonita mall a few weeks ago around 2 in the afternoon and didnt spot a single security gaurd. So I told my boys, yo were doing this shit in the middle of the day.

So we walk into the mall, check out the spot and just like last time no security guards in site! So we strapped up, I broke out my camera, my boy dante broke out the digital camera to capture the video. We stand up take 1 step towards the rail to get started and BAM! 2 security guards come out of an office about 20 feet in front of us. So were like oh shit damn, fall back fall back. We sit back down and chill for a sec. They didnt see us at all, they stood around for a few min, walked around, and then left the area. I followed one of them and he went into the bathroom. I figured with his stun gun, plastic badge, and 99 cents store belt he'd be in there for at least 5 min. lol. It's go time now. I run back to the spot, tell my boy smitty "lets do this."

This fool goes alllll the way to the movie theater entrance to get a running start so he can catch up some speed lol. Were thinking damn what a burn everyones going to see us now. First try, he falls because the mall floor is very slippery. People notice and they all stop to look. Second try, he looses his balance off the railing, more people are looking now. Third try, goes even furrrrther back to get a running start, jumps up and fucking NAILS that shit. People start clapping! Then after that we were up outta that bitch!!!! WORD.


on to the pics....

who but me? :)
