More Venice Beach Goodness with Gary LaVard

Lifestyle photography is a kind of photography which mainly aims to capture portraits of people in situations. What better place to do that then Venice Beach! We are huge fans of Venice Beach- as you can tell since we shoot there so often.

We met up with Gary, who is originally from Detroit. A super nice and talented dude. He's been busy filming Besties, which will soon be on Netflix. Some of his past work includes About Him and Products of the American Ghetto. It's no surprise Gary is going places.

You can find Gary on Instagram and Twitter.

Chilling with Eric in Venice Beach

To document true lifestyle photography, it is to capture those harmonious moments and the in-between moments of the subject in front of you. Acid jeans. Eric can pull them off- I wish I could do the same. We spent sometime over on the Muscle Beach side of Venice beach. I dig all of the concrete there have in that area- It's literally like a body builder's playground.

Palm Springs Desert with Ashley

Often we as photographers we look for shade to get that beautiful even flattering light. When you're in the desert, the sun is blazing, you simply make it work and we think it turned out beautifully for this lifestyle photography session.

In the Dunes with Ashley. She sported an awesome bathing suit by Out From Under. Indo, California is an amazing place located in the Coachella Valley. Ashely was great to work with and brought a lot to the shoot.

Gold, Purple, and Orange Sunset in Santa Monica

Lifestyle photography is the opposite of look at the camera and say "Cheese!" We find locations and settings for our subject to interact in authentic ways and capture the emotion of the moment. It was one of those days of epic sunsets in LA. There was a storm threatening rain, but we all went out anyway- even if it did rain, the light would be super cool so why not. :) We all hung out and took in the crazy colorful light at the Santa Monica beach over by the pier, and it was like having all of the coastline to ourselves.

Lifestyle Photography Session: Venice Beach with Eric

Lifestyle photography is one of the most authentic forms of capturing a moment, next to photojournalism – we like to have a sense of care-free and rawness can seep through and show the view authentic moments of happenings and interaction. It’s a very delicate balance between having a model pose and having a model interact. While we were in Venice, we met up with Eric. Eric was great to hang out with for the day and he knows how to bring energy to a shoot.
