When a friend from my program at USC approached me about photographing models for her newly-launched streetwear brand, 4th Period, I was a little apprehensive. I had little experience shooting models, and hadn’t photographed anything that could be considered remotely fashionable. Eventually, I took it up as a challenge. One shoot was followed by another, and even a lookbook was printed for the brand. With more sessions in the works, I’m very glad I took the opportunity.
