A few weeks have have come and gone since my last post, but they’ve been filled to the brim with busy days and nights. So many projects and events! September has included Fashion’s Night Out, several portrait/test shoots, a local Pepsi campaign, a magazine cover shoot, participating in local politics, the Hawaii Five-0 Season 3 red carpet premiere, and my first photography talk, which has left little time for blogging, but I’m hoping to get back on the bandwagon now that things are calming down.

So, without further ado, I present the rest of the fashion shoot I showed a preview of for my last post.  Once again, this shoot was brought to you by the following crew:

Model: Nina W.

MUA: Sarah Pacheco

Stylist: Tyson Joines

Assistants: Ed White & Neka Stephens

Today is my awesome friend and stylist Tyson Joines‘ birthday! It’s been so wonderful working with him over the last year, and his styling efforts have made a huge difference in the quality of my work. Looking forward to many more years of working together and making ze magicks!

Upon Tyson’s request, here’s a preview image from the most recent shoot we did together this past Tuesday!

Special thanks to House of Aria for letting us change in their shop!

I started photography doing black and white film darkroom photography, so sometimes I just like to take my digital images and color mix them into black and white photos, which is different than just hitting ‘desaturate’. Here are some of my favorites from the December 7th Pearl Harbor 70th anniversary event, except this time made into high-contrast monochrome images.

In which I pretend life looks like an old black and white movie.
