“Photograph: a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art.”
Today at our studio our clients are shooting creative video projects, athletic fashion, beauty editorials, and 90s style that turned out “completely different”!
What are you shooting today? We asked 4 Los Angeles photographers the same thing, in a third episode!
The full interview is available of YOUTUBE. For your convenience, here is the transcript of it as well.
Paul: Today, I focused on shooting something against the curves, something sort of new.
Today was about insecurities, about the wrong people and how
they view social media and what young girls look up to to wanna aspire to be as a
model. I think people get the wrong impression, looking at my work, most of the time. I
think they feel as though … Some girls, I hear all the time talk about how they aren’t
beautiful, yet they are. Or they talk about their insecurities and today kind of keyed in
and focused on that topic.Paul: I feel like Sarah was the perfect person and it’s not like I was planning this project, it’s
just someone I reached out to just a couple days ago and last minute and I had some
free time and I wanted to shoot her, but I wanted to do it in a unique way. I thought on
sort of a more personable level with social media and loving yourself as opposed to
wanting to aspire to be like some of the models on Instagram, who really live just a
lonely life in general, who are so infatuated with social media likes and comments and
what they post as opposed to actually being happy with themselves and loving what
they’re doing.Kelly: I worked with Athleta, which is GAP’s women athletic brand and I maintained
friendships with some of the ambassadors here in Southern California. So I invited three
of them to come, because I love working with empowered women. Today was just
about them looking fun and fierce and having a good time and also incorporating some
lifestyle elements into it.Bekah: Today, we’re doing a beauty editorial that's focusing on pastel colors and emotion.
Sana: This photo shoot was pretty fun. The ladies just awesome. We had this amazing idea of
doing 90s style, but it turned out to completely different photo shoot, but it was real,
real fun. The models, they’re sisters. Both of them, like really beautiful. They’re one of
my favorite models in LA.
