Artoor

Spending the day with Artoor in a very artistic and eclectic part of Los Angeles, really made us forget that we were working. With elaborate art walls and statements on every corner, the location was a dream. The few hours we spent here during our session only reaffirmed my love for this diverse and vibrant city. The fact that Artoor was so extremely photogenic, allowed us to direct less, and converse more. Having such a humorous and entertaining subject contributes some comedy to the experience (which is always appreciated). One of my favorite aspects of photography is getting the chance to meet and get to know such interesting people. The fact that he trusted us with the styling and entire direction of the shoot was awesome. Artoor allowed us to throw out our often outrageous ideas without declining any of them. When my sister suggested he situate himself "comfortably" inside a shopping cart, Artoor proceeded as if our request was completely ordinary. We had a great time discovering the city, laughing, and taking some photos. Here are some highlights from our shoot. A few of these shots turned out to be amongst my favorite photos thus far. Thanks for stopping by...enjoy.
