I just visited LA for a week and shot two editorial specs with the stylist Kenny Wujek (older bro of Johnny Wujek, another stylist there). One day we shot in Johnny’s driveway in Hollywood: roll of white seamless, a case of bud light, and 80 weather (read: rad!).

The other day we shoot around Kenny’s house, this overgrown, grungy dream on Hollywood and Highland. The whole place was a series of natural sets that couldn’t have been designed any better.

It was two totally different shoots that interested me equally. On white always fascinates me, b/c it’s a test of parring an image down to it’s fundamentals. On the other hand, a really great location is always a treat, but technically the images must coordinate with the location and yet cannot be allowed to become gimmick. It’s a conflict for me being attracted to and producing such seemingly different images, and I only hope that people can sense an underlying and consistent sensibility throughout.
