4x5 in the Southwest

A few large format images from my post-ASU years, approaching the Southwest of AZ and NM not as an idealized Ansel Adams-style but looking at the tourist traps and quirkiness and abandoned mining communities and facade.

Lizzie

A model I had a super brief shoot w in 2016, mainly for an art video. One of those things where the studio was booked and 1 person failed to show and the other was late, where I realized SF was not a great place to shoot 😂

Today is the 27th birthday of my creative partner Bradley! We did a very Akira Neo-Tokyo 80s cyberpunk style shoot last night to celebrate.

Primordial Creative - The Old World

The second single from the next Primordial Creative album "innerworld/overshadow". I filmed most of this material around Downtown Long Beach and some from previous road trips through the Southwest. Although the song and video were created directly before I was asked to move to Downtown LA, I can see how it sort of sums up this recent era of living in the LA Harbor.

Cheyanne - Safe Harbor

Shot during a trip to Portland, OR.

Duos

A variety of images I culled through when I made a recent zine. Usually I make zines that are exclusively one model, thus leaving out all these overlapping images.

Casual Sylvie

When I did this huge 20-shoots-in-one-week extravaganza in 2021 through Ohio, NY, and Nashville, the goal was to sorta come out of Cornona guns blazing and as a result I just was taking photos of everything and every moment. Sylvie and I just on a walk and drinking coffee.

Maria - Ms. Brightside

Remixes and unreleased works w Maria Kn. I was listening to Jon Hopkins’ transcendent works and re-edited these to be brighter and clearer than the previous noirish style.

Streamlining Patreon

Hello patrons!  I'm taking steps to streamline my Patreon, basically changing everything to a single tier ($20/ month) for all photo sets, video content, and tutorial access.  This change will happen on Feb 24th. It'll solve a lot of "who gets what" amongst other things. Thank you for your support!

Faraway, So Close - cyberpunk comic with Bradley

I’ve been doing a ton of multimedia projects with Bradley, and this specific 6 pager was an animation I adapted to a comic which needed more story so I adapted parts back into a comic. It’s being published in a cyberpunk newspaper with the Long Beach Ink n Drink comics community!

Happy New Year! New tutorials and art model videos!

Hello patrons! Two weeks into the New Year, although I'm currently queueing sets and videos through MARCH here! Besides the usual good vibes a new year introduces, Bradley and I have gotten back to our creative partnership and the above photo was from 2 days ago, but I think it’s the best thing we’ve ever done. Off to a great start!

Last year I ended my LA teaching gig in June and it was a lot of shoring up my Etsy store and freelance just to stay alive, but during a trip in Utah...

A variety of Maria KN material shot in New Mexico in 2022. We didn’t do anything in 2023 but we just spoke and hopefully a dope horse shoot is in our near future since we both live in LA!

Yesenia

Yesenia was a model I remembered from the old 2012 Tumblr days and got to shoot with twice during g covid. The second shoot involved a corrupted memory card and mistakes w scheduling and was in general cursed. I was collating material in a zine and I don’t think these got posted yet!
