In a week, on the 15th, on my birthday, I am releasing the second edition of my coffee table book. After the amazing response for the limited edition first run, I decided to make a second edition to share the experience with more people. The second edition features a few additional photos with some of my friends I didn’t get to shoot for the first.

is one of my favorite recording artists and muses. We shot @ Goldiggers, Which was cool to me because I also got to see her perform there live as much last concert before covid. I shot her in because all of the stars wear ’s designs. did an amazing job interpreting my creative direction for makeup, which was a bunch of pictures of stars and some screenshots from her page with dewy skin.

Shot on gecelooed abd scanned at home.

I did a shoot for at the end of quarantine, we shot at the models house and were social distances while the fashion director watched and made selects via zoom. It was the first time I had used zoom, I tethered to and screens shared so she could see how the shoot was going. We did like 10 looks, and I didn’t really bring much equipment but I did what I do, make magic with whatever I have. This set was one of the fashion directors favorites because she loved how the sky looked. It’s one of my favorites. I’d been waiting for them to release the pictures for a month. Really love working with the team. Haven’t seen anyone’s smile since we all wear masks but it’s always fun. Thanks for hitting me up when they hit you up, You killed the shoot. @ Los Angeles, California
