editorial photography | New York City

It was a gloomy day, a miserable day. The rain drizzled down, and left the city wet and lonely. It was exactly what we needed. Agnes fell into her role perfectly, even sitting barefoot on the banks of the Hudson River while the cold rain kept falling. So here is this photoshoot, long time in coming, but here finally.

Model: Agnes Brenson
Stylist: Kate Wang

As a person, she has a kind soul. As a model, she’s willing to do what it takes to get the shot.

And Kate… this is shoot #4 I’ve done with her. Or is it #5? I’ve collaborated on more personal shoots with her than I have with anybody else. Always fun. :)

Lifestyle photography | North Shore, Hawaii | Whitney

This lifestyle session was shot at the world famous North Shore of Oahu. Whitney’s beautiful, and so easy to work with. We actually had to wake up at 5 in the morning for this photoshoot to happen!–she had work in the afternoon, I didn’t have any more availabilities during the rest of my time in Hawaii, and it was quite a drive from the south side of the island. Good times though, and I’m quite happy with the results.  :D

Makeup artist: Brenda Van Valkenburg

It was windy, my gear was getting wet, we were cold, I was having a hard time getting the camera to focus with all the rain falling down … I absolutely love these shots. ;)

Hawaii couples photography | Honolulu | Vanessa and Sathi

When Vanessa found out we were going to be in Oahu, she immediately contacted us to schedule a couples session for her and her boyfriend. I had originally planned on shooting our usual style, but when we met up, I decided to switch gears towards something a bit more editorial, with more of a GUESS ad vibe. Well, for at least part of it. For one of the sections, I think I was trying to channel some Calvin Klein. (Okay, in case you missed it, that was your hawtness warning right there. lol)

Thanks to David for assisting on this shoot, especially with the lights at the end!
