last week we were in new york for a wedding and a SHOOTSHOP in brooklyn :) we've done more shootshops than my fingers can keep track of now but i've got to say this one was one of the best yet! we had an awesome group of 20 new friendtographers, wonderful models, and a tricky but fun space to work with. the morning of the shootshop we got a nice little surprise that the brooklyn naval yards we had planned to do our shooting demo in were off limits to us, leaving us a 400 square foot rooftop and the hallways outside of the studio to shoot in...we love a good challenge...here's a few of our favorite improvised images from the shoot :)

a HUGE THANK YOU to all of the photographers that travelled from far and wide to come see us in brooklyn, your merit badges are in the mail :) we love you. lots.

industrial bathroom love? sure.

the moment i saw this skull pillow on a couch in the studio i knew i'd be using it for something creeper :)

a long time ago in/on/under a bridge far far away...

on an island between san francisco and oakland, this happened.

michael and nellie made whoopy and now nellie is almost done making their son rock chan who will surely dominate the planet. michael and nellie are some of our very bestest friends, we like them infiniti +1. michael also happens to be an AMAZING photographer who shoots for the image is found :) michael and i also nerd out on film cameras together, it's like our bowling, so it was only fitting to shoot their prego session on the hasselblad. i've never shot my hasselblad for anything other than our personal work so this was fun fun fun :)
