North Shore With O'Neill Women's

Finally getting around to posting this shoot from December 2019!

The weather can be fickle during the winter season here in Hawaii. Rain is always a looming possibility, and beyond that I was hoping the ocean would provide us with something manageable to shoot. Working in the water has so many additional elements that need to align outside of shooting the subject, so it’s a huge relief when you leave the beach feeling like you got what you needed. Fortunately our timing worked out perfectly for this three day shoot with the ladies at O’Neill Women’s and the waves were perfect on our final morning. Thank you to the team, Honolua Blomfield, Victoria Vergara, Imogen Caldwell, Brit Penaroza, and the Creative/Marketing team Rachel, Kieran, Alli, and Brooke!

These are some of my favorites. x

North Shore Of Oahu During Covid-19

We’ve never seen anything like it, and we hope we never will again. Adjusting to the new norm and actively challenging what that “norm” always was. What we need, we have. What we want can wait. Unless of course if what you need is toilet paper, that cannot wait and I’ve got 3 rolls left.

This is the North Shore of Oahu during Covid-19. I’m fascinated by how this place looks right now. My hometown, my community, the place i’m most familiar has never looked so strange. More frames to come. x

Always a pleasure working with the team at Monster Children. They always seem to gather up the best crew. Some of the water stills I shot for Corona earlier last year with these legends, below. x
