I have another piece that I wanted to share with you that I created on a shoot that featured different localities in my hometown of Los Angeles.
Originally this was part of a bigger piece of work. I took two friends of mine who modeled and asked them to do a little project with me where the two of them would run around town chasing each other stealing back and forth from each other this mysterious red suitcase. It was more just an opportunity to showcase different places in the city that I see a lot or I just happened to think looked cool that day in that light. It was a shoot where I had an idea but not a plan (not what I get to do when I work for clients) and I had fun with it and went with the flow. Good times.
The project was called "The Case". This particular photo is classic downtown Los Angeles in the Arts District. I had a really fantastic model (thank you Alma), who here was actually just adjusting her shoe -- it wasn't part of the shoot or anything. I was setting up the next shot with the other model at the time and turned around to see this and captured it. I love this image, though, because it's an organic moment, and I captured the environment of the time with all the authentic wheatpasting that was there just before street art became something people sold in art auction houses.
I hope you enjoy this image and the story behind it! If you want to make it yours you can find it here
