Winter is Here (Preview #1) (Patreon)

We don't have a super "wintry" winter in Los Angeles, but we do get massive arctic storms that pound us with rain for several days straight in the winter.  Los Angeles is situated between the ocean and some quite tall mountains though, so when these storms come its pretty easy to drive up into those mountains and find them covered in snow.  It doesn't stick around too long though, so it makes planning super last minute shoots with models quite challenging, so I usually just call up a friend that I know wants me to photograph them.

This past month i have gone up with a couple such friends who have taken the plunge to walk around with nothing but boots on to try and make some memorable pictures of themselves in a rarely seen side of LA.

My friend Emily, who is nearly finished writing her first YA novel, likes the idea of doing a shoot a year to documenting her physical self as she ages, and its a good excuse for us to meet up and do a bit of exploring.  Thankfully she has allowed me to share her images with my Patrons (I recently posted her first shoot for my Archive Patrons).
