I worked with Model Katy Mahon and Make Up Artist Sam Freezy to create this bedazzled photo shoot inspired by the work of @kimberleymargarita_ on Instagram.
This is a lighting setup that I really love, but it is complex with 6+ light sources to set up, inspired by the work of Jill Greenberg. The key light is a ring flash and I have a beauty dish directly above the model. A single gridded light is creating a spot on the background, rather than lighting the entire backdrop. I think I may have skipped the backlights/rim lights for these shots, so I guess I was cheating on the number of light sources.
I like to shoot film whenever I shoot, alongside the digital shots. I used a Mamiya RB67 and Fuji FP-100C Pack Film to create the instant shots. I wish the polaroid back for the camera created images that were centered, but it's always a treat toe see the juicy bokeh on the 150MM Soft Focus Lens I pair with the camera.
I am a Las Vegas Local and I do most of my work out of my studio, Photo Bang Bang. I have shot for numerous publications including Gizmodo, Urb Magazine, Hustler Magazine, Vogue Italia, io9, Dvice, Mashable, Wired, DeviantNation, SuicideGirls, Las Vegas Weekly, Las Vegas City Life, Kink.com, Sexual Health Magazine and more. I am a highly competent and creative photographer with a skilled approach to composition and lighting who loves working on location and in new environments, in addition to the comfort of his studio.
My current lineup of cameras includes a Nikon Z6, Lomography Instant Wide, Lomography Diana+ Instant Square, Insta360 OneX, DJI Osmo Pocket 2 and iPhone8 and he is now branching out into live streaming and filmmaking.
