It’s always exciting when travel lines up with photography, and October is shaping up to be a month full of creativity. From October 4-7, I’ll be in Los Angeles, and then from October 11-14, I’ll be heading out to El Paso and White Sands, NM. It feels like the perfect combination of locations to fuel some creative expression.
Los Angeles has always been a bit of a beast. There’s this energy about the city that forces you to step up, if you willl. Every time I shoot there, I feel like I’m pushing myself in new ways, and this trip is no exception. I’ve got a lineup of incredible talent to work with, models who inspire me to take things to another level. Portraits are, of course, where I find my rhythm, and LA always delivers that extra spark of inspiration.
After that, I’m headed to El Paso and one of my favorite places to shoot—White Sands, NM. There's something about the vast, untouched landscapes of US southwest that just begs to be captured, and White Sands is the jewel of them all. It’s truly my dream location.
El Paso brings its own vibe—its culture, its texture—it all contributes to the kind of work I love to create.
The talent I’m collaborating with for these trips is nothing short of amazing. Every model brings something unique, and I can’t wait to see what we create together. There’s a certain chemistry that happens when you’re in sync with your subjects, and I’m beyond stoked to capture that in both LA and New Mexico.
This is what I live for: travel, meeting inspiring people, and creating something meaningful. These next few weeks are going to be packed with shoots, new faces, and pushing the boundaries of what we can do together. Follow along with the trips on my Instagram.
Here’s to October – so let’s make some magic...
