my cemetery babes

I met jacky and lucy through patrick and i've been excited to shoot with the pair of them since. we got together just before halloween at the mountain view cemetery and took some photos.

here are some of my favorites.

aren't they gorgeous? 

i've had Dead by Young Fathers on repeat for weeks now. i have to admit, i had no idea who they were until they won the mercury prize and i was little butthurt that FKA Twigs didn't win but i gave em a listen and am in love. listen to paying and i've arrived (seriously. listen to this one.) 

anyway, i don't think i've actually shot anything at all this whole month so far but the next little while looks promising. i've got a post that i'm working on re: inspo and progress that y'all should keep an eye out for in the next little while.

till next time,

My Girl is Gold with Ines

i've had this photo idea playing around in my mind for a long while and i figured it was time to finally put it to use. i originally wanted to use gold paint but do you know how hard it is to come across gold body paint that doesnt look just yellow and sparkly? incredibly, if you're looking for it short notice, which i was since i'm impatient as heck. i thought about using gold leaf but i worried that it would look too much like this series of self portraits that i did last year but in the end i said fuck it and chose gold leaf instead. i'm really happy i did.

i met ines through mutual friends and was super eager to work with her because i mean come on. look at her. so when i put out a call for a model i couldn't be more happy when she responded. we met up on a saturday morning and shot.

here are some of my favorites.

i'm beyond stoked on how these turned out. isn't she gorgeous!

listen to: gold lion by the yeah yeah yeahs and golden age by tv on the radio. 

happy tuesday! 

Emilija and the Autumn

I met Emilija back in January when I shot for Charles & Grace. despite it being below freezing and us being windy beach side, the photos turned out great and you can see those here. 

anyway. Emilija and I met up the past friday and wandered around the end of hastings taking some photos. here are some of my favorites.

isn't she great? i'm in love with these shots.

i've been listening to You're Dead! by FlyLo allll day and i recommend that you check out this album sometime this weekend. he does not disappoint. check out Never Catch Me and Coronus, The Terminator. 

 

till next time,

over the weekend i was fortunate enough to meet up with one of my favorite people, isla, and take some photos. it was the last sunny day we had in vancouver before the never ending rain and i'm really really happy with how these turned out. you have no idea how hard it was to pick my favorites but here they are.

yeah. isla is my dream girl. follow her on instagram.
