The Penthouse Girls

So the same day I did Desmond Chiam’s photoshoot I decided to make it a photo filled day and shoot the girls from Penthouse! Now before you get too excited, I’m not referring to ‘Penthouse’ the men’s magazine… Penthouse is the nickname of the apartment that Desmond’s girlfriend, my girlfriend and their roommate live at. It ended up being a fun filled day of photography, hiking, getting stabbed by very sharp grass and utilizing my reflectors and speedlights.

BBoys Anonymous

The other weekend I helped Melly do BBoys Anonymous’ Photoshoot, or BBA for short. BBA is also the bboy club that I spent most of my undergraduate college career dancing with and hanging out with, they were a second family. BBA has grown a lot since I’ve left them and I’m really glad to see it’s growth. They do a lot of performances year around, including events throughout UCI as well as community events in the city of Irvine. I see the club growing even more with the next president next year and I look forward to seeing their growth!

Jennifer Chung’s Summer Shirt

The other week, I had the chance to work with my awesome and talented friend, Jennifer Chung. She had a shirt that she was going to be selling along with a really cool looking pin. The shirt was a summer type v-neck designed by Rad is Rad exclusively for Jennifer. Along for the shoot was my most commonly used model now, Jenny Ting. I wanted to go for a fun look with the shirt, seeing as how its a summer type shirt. The shirt is super soft and feels amazing on your skin. Definitely hit up Jennifer’s site to see when the shirt is dropped along with the free pin!

Being A Ninja And Playing With Strobes

So the other night me and Melly decided to mess around with strobes and different lighting techniques. This was something we both needed practice in so it was cool to finally have some time to experiment. The only problem was we didn’t have anyone to model… so we decided to we would model for each other. We made a make-shift studio in my garage and with the lighting all set up we were ready to go. I noticed that Melly was wearing one of Steppie’s clothing so I decided to bust mine on as well and we ended up doing some modeling for Steppie’s “I Am A Ninja” line.

Jenny Ting

So the other week, Jennifer Chung asked me to shoot Jenny Ting so we could add another female model in the lineup before Steppie and her could roll out the online orders of their collaboration shirts. I had heard of Jenny before, so it was really cool to finally meet her. Jenny is an aspiring model and is a dancer who has danced with CADC and the San Diego Charger Girls. Jenny was a lot of fun to shoot and the whole thing went smoothly. Keep on the lookout for JChung x Steppie shirt to roll out online for order.
