Call Him Mr. Rose
Fashion Editorial with Aaron Rose
“A man should look as if he had bought his clothes with intelligence, put them on with care, and then forgotten all about them.

For this shoot I asked my coworker who is an actor, so he was perfect and plus I needed more male models to add to my portfolio. After a month of waiting we finally was able to set things up.
I used the LA River and Art District again for this shoot as this has became one of my favorite locations to shoot. With these looks we did men’s fashion and a little bit of spider-man cosplay.
We met at Urth Cafe and it seem like they were doing something down there so things were cut off on one street. Once he arrived we headed to the river to get the ball rolling.
This turns out to be great shoot with a lot of laughs and a lot of fun in the end. It’s never a dull moment when I get in the groove of things with a session. We had music playing to really help us folks on getting the shoots they we need to get. I used the entire area around the Art District using the environment to different graffiti spots. Then the finally location of the parking structure across the street into Lil Tokyo. That spot was all Spider-man.

Valentine day theme shoot with Andrea
Model Mayhem has been somewhat of a hit or miss for me. Andrea responded to my ad on the site and we set everything up and she rented a studio for an hour - which I will use for future shoots.
We met at the studio and I had Tristan there to assist me on this one. The room she choose was perfect for the idea she had, and it corresponed with Valentine Day. The was staged with an empty tub and fake tree, andte the other end had the flower wall that was especially dope.
The lights they have are the Paul C. Buff Alien Bees 800. I am very familiar with those lights so it was very easy to operate. The only issue I had was with the triggers that were used was an off brand and added to much weight to the sync port.
“There are things which nobody would see unless I photographed them.”
“I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.”
