I met Abe Bermudez, an LA-based photographer in October of 2016 during my trip in Cali thanks to my friend Sara Robey who is a dope Makeup Artist from LA. One of the things I really value about working with Abe is great as kicking back ideas which allow me to run with them and take them to a place of whatever vision I have. Every test shoot is a time to explore, play, and grow.

It was this shoot where I took a step back to reflect on all the work I’ve ever done.

These images don’t just involve the people who physically took part in it. It’s all of the people we come across during our career.

If it wasn’t for @sararobeymakeup , I would have never been connected to Phôtgrapher: @abe.bermudez who found the beautiful @larissabohmhoff / if it wasn’t for @akbarphotog I would have never met Hairstylist: @magdabon years ago / and if it wasn’t for @cliftonprescod I would have never met Wardrobe stylist : @o_inc from who knows how long ago, and if it wasn’t for everyone who has been a part of my career, these images would cease to exist.

I am so grateful for all of the opportunities big or small that come and for all the people I meet because everything is connected. To everyone that took part in this, thank you for a great shoot!
