Portraits: Kana Benz


I was going through my hard drives and come across these portraits that I did for a great dancer, Kana Benz. She wanted to get some images of herself in a easy setting so we shot this in Irvine at the college out there. We got to sneak into their theatre and took advantage of the backgrounds there. Great place to shoot because the lighting was perfect and they had a grand piano that wasn't locked like they normally are. From time to time Kana has some fantastic dance concerts that you should check out. You can find her on Facebook. In the meantime enjoy these beauties from the short past.

Portraits: Dalia Perla


Last week I got to work with the beautiful and talented Dalia Perla. We set out to Sherman Oaks and captured some great moments. We had fun thinking of ways to make her laugh. At times she felt a bit awkward having a big lens pointed at her but after some dumb jokes and a great imagination she soon posed like a pro. I had a great time making some fantastic shots that she would be able to use in her portfolio. Here's a few of my favs. Enjoy!!
