Field Day | Darling Magazine Publication

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.

In the Tulip Garden | Fashion Shoot

San Jose, California Photographer Here's another example of a last-minute shoot coming together beautifully! This tulip garden is part of a private backyard that opens for 9 days to the public every year. The owner was kind enough to let us shoot in the garden.

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.
