Finally got to bring my favorite series into the studio and I’m really liking the results.

Working in the studio makes me extremely nervous. Unlike being on location, you start with nothing and have to build from the ground up. I’d been feeling blocked creatively too so stayed far away for a while. This past weekend I hit Blue and said I have no concept whatsoever, but I needed to get some reps with the camera. Felt good to get the workout in.

Someone told me I shoot like the 90s and I don’t hate that.
