Brooklyn
Lifestyle photograph at it's core, it is the capturing of real life moments, natural expressions, most often candid things that just happen. It's easy and hard at the same time. For this shoot we had: Volkswagen bus, check, Brooklyn, check, and an amazing model, check - thanks Oheni!
We scoped out an awesome spot in Brooklyn and went to town. You can't tell in the photos, but it was FREEZING outside. Oheni is a champ and never even flinched.

We were in Brooklyn shooting with May, and stumbled upon a School Bus. Since Yellow is one of my favorite colors, this seemed as the perfect opportunity to utilize it before we headed underground to wait for the train.
You can find May here.
Michael has amazing light coming in from the cellar door of the basement to his studio in Chinatown, so we decided to utilize it. He makes super awesome jewelry at his studio space. You can check out his stuff at M Hart Designs.
A phrase that we like to use when coming up with ideas for lifestyle photography is " art in everyday life." Meaning you can find the extraordinary in just about any circumstance.
Oheni recently moved to New York City- aspiring to become a model. He is amazing to work with. He brought a ton to the shoot, and you couldn't even tell it was frickin' freezing outside. Oheni made it look like it was a breezy summer day, which is awesome. I dig breezy summer days. :)

We really enjoy lifestyle photography because of all the different kind of people we get to meet. Not only models, but makers, business owners, musicians, creators and more. This dude is dope. He makes amazing jewelry. You should check out his stuff at M Hart Designs.
