Hi! I’m Madi— a photographer and cinematographer in LA! Happy to find another source to interact with creatives and share work! Cheers!

Here are some photos of a domesticated Kodiak bear named Tag, posing on set for a Sony ad in 2022.

In a black and white image of a grassy forest, stands a large kodiak bear, facing left, with a slight grin on his face. He looks pettable. In this image, Tag the bear (his name) is posing ferociously with his mouth open, and teeth bared. His right paw folds towards his chest to keep his balance, since he is standing in his hind legs.

At the “Memory Motel” with Kat Rardi.🏩

Portraits from her music video shoot last fall as I was the 2nd unit cinematographer.

Dir: Anthony Cally

🎞: 35mm, Kodak Portra400

#analogphotography #shootfilm #behindthescenes
Kat Rardi sits in the middle of a golden bed with two electric candelabra sconces on either side of her. A blue flare streaks across the top of the frame. Kat Rardi reaches out towards a memory as if trying to touch it. She sits in the center of the bed. Kat poses with an apple while sitting on the bed. A cherub chandelier floats above her like a guardian angel. Light glows behind Kat from the candelabra. Kat, a damsel in distress, overwhelmed by the memories.

I'll continue to shoot (and probably screw up) more of these dry plates, but at least it's cheaper than color 4x5 film 😅

📍 Saguaro National Park, Tucson, Arizona
📷 Speed Graphic 4x5 / 90mm f45
🎞️ Zebra Dry Plate @ 2

A photograph of Saguaro National Park, located in Tucson, Arizona, taken on a 4x5 glass dry plate. The edges of the physical plate can be seen in the scan. In the image, thousands of saguaro cactus can be seen littering the landscape of the park.

A street sign at Echo Park that has been redesigned to reflect the views of the community. Taken in 2020, yet even more relevant today.

Be kind to yourselves, and each other.

A street sign at Echo Park that has been redesigned to reflect the views of the community. Up top, someone wrote “F*ck White Supremacy”. Underneath is a sign prohibiting vending, which has been crossed out. Palm trees stand behind, as if having the sign’s back.

Our political climate is very overwhelming. Thank goodness for @rbreich.bsky.social for breaking current events down with quantifiable data, as well as offering hope. If we remain steadfast in our resistance, this will get better.

How do we move a mountain? One rock at a time. Be well, everyone.

Since I offered you 10 reasons for modest optimism last week, discontent with the Trump-Musk regime has surged even further. America appears to be waking up. Here’s the latest evidence — 10 more reasons for modest optimism.

Hello Bluesky!

I’m loving the photography community so far, but I’m searching for the filmmaker community as well! Are you out there?

Here are some still frames from a dance film I shot in 2023, HOME. Details in comments.

Director/Producer/Choreo: Dani Burd

#cinematography #film #dance #stills
5 dancers face their backs to camera. A hollow metal frame of a house stands in the middle of a desert landscape. The sun is setting in the west. Tori, sits exhausted on a sofa. Rain is pouring from the sky. A wet suitcase sits haphazardly next to Tori on the sofa. Mel in movement for her piece in HOME. The golden sun sets behind her, flaring into the lens. A vast landscape expands behind her. Madi and Will run away from their problems when the night falls.

A closeup shot of a gilded lake, catching the rays of the setting sun. Small golden stars of light glitter off the water. A perspective shot of the surface of the lake, showing a trail of golden glitter to showcase the direction of the setting sun. The water itself has a pink/purple hue that gives the water an otherworldly feel.

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone.

But a groundswell of opposition is growing. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF THE VEIL NEBULA AND IT’S GORGEOUS!!! 🌌✨
A colourful, glowing nebula that reaches beyond the top and bottom of the image. It is made of translucent clouds of gas: wispy and thin with hard edges in some places, and puffy and opaque in others. Blue, red and yellow colours mix together, showing light emitted by different types of atoms in the hot gas. Bright and pointlike stars are scattered across the nebula. The background is black.
