When the August SoCal Photog Shootout was announced, I was sooo thrilled to learn that we’re doing high fashion this month! I subscribe to some magazines like InStyle and W, and I’m always fascinated with the photography in those ads. When I got to Irvine Regional Park to meet with 49 fine photographers in Orange County, I had the couture theme in mind, and I’m so incredibly happy with the photos we all took! But best of all, I was mostly excited to hang out with the coolest photogs in the West Coast.

All photos were shot with my 50mm 1.2, using only natural light. If there’s only one lens I could have, this would be it! Oh and by the way, there’s a contest for all the photogs who joined the shootout, so please comment and let me know which photo I should enter! :)
