on being original

the west bottoms is always a fun place to photograph people. so many crazy textures, and odd locations. it's funny that photographers go there for something different, but every time i shoot there i see tons of other photographers. i can't help but laugh at how cliche it is. except for when i photographed michaela. as we drove around shooting we saw photographers shooting what appeared to be s&m scenes. both of us with our jaws on the floor couldn't stop laughing and coming up with what we thought they were up to. thankfully it didn't deter us from getting these really fun shots, michaela is a photographer as well which made it so fun to collaborate!
