DICKS AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE

Hey everyone. I’m gonna be for real in this post. A lot happened to me in my absence, including becoming a photographer by trade. I had my nerves frayed raw from my various living situations over the past 3 years, sought therapy and psychiatric treatment, and been diagnosed with major depressive disorder + unspecified anxiety. I went without treatment my whole adult life from not having insurance, now I’m finally on a stable, free Medi-Cal plan. I’m finally feeling like I’m getting back to a better place, one where I feel okay reaching out again. i just want to make the world a better place.

This is Robeson Bowmani. He is probably the coolest person I’ve ever seen. I took this today at Fanime in San Jose. It’s among my favorite pictures I’ve ever taken. I’ve only been shooting for a season so far, but- weird as this may sound- I feel well-equipped for it coming from a background of musicianship and sound. When you have a good model, the magic just flows from your fingertips.

I mostly like capturing environments, urban, nature, indoor, outdoor. They generally don’t move as much as people, so I find them easier to work with. I had one phenomenal shoot before with a model that I lost most of from a shabby memory card, and I feel bad about this because while the model got paid, she didn’t get to use the shots I got for her portfolio. This has made me sort of hesitant to hire models until I can afford reliable gear, and that’s where you come in.

I started a photography / videography studio with my brother to make ends meet. He’s got the bulk of photography experience between us with over a decade, he can shoot, direct, and cut, I can do that with sound. We make a pretty good team!  You can book us if you or anyone you know of in the greater san francisco bay area needs our skills and equipment. Or, if you can’t help that way...

I started a patreon that I will be providing content for from our studio and my own recreational shooting once I’ve built up a substantial body of work. It is very much a work in progress, and I’m still trying to figure out what I do with it. I plan to refine and cultivate that space very soon.

I’ll be posting samples of my work on here as often as I can manage. I feel like I’m vastly overselling how much drive I have to do this stuff, even though I enjoy doing it a lot, so please understand if I update infrequently or don’t accompany my pictures with anything. I plan to share life updates here and sometimes do on twitter.
