Leah Velocity for Temperance

I've been friends with Leah Velocity for as long as I have really been shooting. They showed up at my first apartment in Philadelphia after a mutual friend told us we had to shoot, and we have been friends ever since. We've lived in the same building, crossed paths all over this country, and they are honestly one of the smartest most awesome people I have been able to get to know and follow.

As soon as they pulled the suit jacket out of their bag for our Temperance shoot I knew it was something I needed to do. I've been looking for ways I can shoot Temperance differently from subject matter to configurations, and I'm really excited about what I see happening. This shoot with Leah is a start. They are a model that can do anything, and I think more and more I'm realizing that I will probably keep shooting Temperance in one way or another as long as I have amazing collaborators that show up with new and exciting ideas.

For my shoot with Velocity I did a huge rearrange of the room. Tore the two sliding closet mirrors out of the wall, and have propped them up against the far wall where the bed used to be, and I'm really looking forward to experimenting with these. Doing this gives me the most to play with from an angles and reflection standpoint since the mirrors are exactly the same size. I feel like I can do a lot more with them. They are so big they bend and warp, which can either be amazing or awful, so there is a lot more toying to be done!

For the first time in a while most of these images were shot with my 70-200mm F2.8 as my new shoot lane with the set up is a lot bigger. I still used the 85mm F1.4 on quite a few of the photos. You can also check out Velocity's newly created Patreon here!
