The amount of subtleties in the lighting here! I love the way this set came out.

I’ve always wanted to try this concept and it really taught me how much I need to order make sandbags. The wind did me dirty!

How it started vs. how it’s going.

14 years is a hell of a development time. Show me your early work, don’t be shy :p

Sometimes all you need is a massive window in the studio.

One of these days I’m gonna own a natural light studio. Or I’ll compromise and own a large studio where I can turn a giant scrim into artificial window light, heh.

X100VI is so fun to use, it had me looking up the cost of a GFX 100S II for my work kit. I rather enjoy not having to color grade, ha.

In this content era, I feel that social media has lost all of the ‘social’ and has just become a nonstop bombardment of “trying to sell you something”. It’s tiring, and IMO is why there’s so much burnout in most artistic fields. How are you photographers doing out there?

I think Bluesky is the place for photographers to be. The vast majority of other social media platforms only seem to care about “content” and reels. It actually feels pointless to post photos on them anymore.

The photos vs. the setup. Love me a good large scrim. Don’t love transporting them though, ha.

Some looks with Trish.

Really enjoying getting back to my studio work and messing around with new lighting setups!

I’ve been offered a ton of money to do a comedy set aboard the Borg Cube.

Bidding farewell to summer with Sooyo.

I am so in love with this set. I was going through a bit of creative block for most of this year but I’ve been making a conscious effort to produce more personal work and I can slowly feel my mojo coming back.

Setting up a Ubiquiti network in my house.

I’m never going to financially recover from this.

The best part about keeping all of your raw files is revisiting photos that you took years ago and editing them in the way you do today. Such a difference in editing styles from 2017 to 2025 me.

Said goodbye to my huge gaming PC setup and welcomed in a completely refreshed Mac M4 setup. As much as I want to pretend I do, I haven't had the time or really the desire to do heavy gaming in…years to be honest.

Aesthetics are a lot better too if I may say so myself.

I love when clients tell me they've never modeled before. I'm like "oh bet watch this".
