These pictures come from one of the first photo shoots I had in Los Angeles. They were taken in a Downtown loft not far from USC. At the time I just moved to Los Angeles I would say nearly 6 years ago. Thinking about it makes me want to upload a compare and contrast picture of me 5 years ago and how I look now.
Back then I had no idea where my journey would take me but I have come a long way from composing songs for fun, to composing music for short films, and the journey is still not over. Everyday I am learning and experiencing new things. Sometimes learning is a difficult experience but I would never take back the things I have learned or the difficulties of finding my path. Los Angeles has given me strength and weakness, joy and sorrow, opportunity and set backs but I love this city.
Currently, I take pictures of a fashion blogger by the name of Amy Roiland. Her Instagram handle is @afashionerd. Taking pictures for her has taught
me a lot about fashion photography and the camera.
Taking pictures for her has also inspired me to take up fashion shooting myself a few of my favorite outfits that I like to wear. Of course, they might not be standard fashion for most people but I like what I wear. Skinny jeans are probably the hardest thing for me to ever get used to. They are too tight for me, but its something I must learn to like and wear.
Animation is another thing I have taken interest in. I have learned a lot of what it takes to create 2D animation and am hoping to learn more about 3D animation soon. So far, animation to me has proven to be the most fun for me. Hearing my music as the soundtrack of an animation has made me quite the happiest guy on earth! That's just some of my journey, and I look forward to so much more and the rest of my journey living in Los Angeles.
