Nike and VSCO gave me a few pairs of Vapormax's and a futuristic concept and asked me (and three other amazing photographers) to create some inspired, collaborative high fashion images. Really, the story is not about the future—it's about now.

Alli is the Head of Rock at Spotify and also crushes it in the gym. Reebok and I teamed up with her to capture a day in her life.
Lisa Dengler and I collaborated to shoot a few looks with Barrie Knitwear. The idea behind the shoot was a Los Angeles day in the life—but the real. Lisa made laundry, breakfast, grocery shopping and gas pumping look magical. Enjoy!
New glass means I'm super motivated to shoot all day er'day. This is was quick 30 minute session with a friend (Sasha, a killer quality human with abs that I am coveting and a recipe for the ultimate super salsa) at a friend's house. I wanted the feeling of another era but not anything really specific, probably just ended up with an early 90's vibe.

My friends and I did that. We started a magazine. We created a place where we could share the things we are passionate about. We can make the photographs we want to make. We can tell the stories we need to tell. It is a place where we are slowing down to appreciate what's often taken for granted and stopping to examine what we can no longer ignore.
Our first feature was the talented and raw Oceanside rapper John Givez, who is about to release his latest album 'Soul Rebel.' While, the photoshoot below was an honor for me to do, it doesn't stand alone. Read the story of what it means to be a soul rebel written by RayNeutron for Typical Mag.
“My music is for rebels. One thing about rebels is that there are rebels with no cause and rebels with a cause. But even that cause can be misinformed.”
Singer-songwriter/rapper/actor/director/self-proclaimed fashion icon Heath McNease graced Los Angeles with his Georgia self and I had the pleasure of snapping a few shots of his handsome face. We shot all around Hollywood and then in Lincoln Heights. Here are my favorites.
