Essence Photo Shoot

10.19.07

We had the opportunity to work with the lovely ladies of Essence Dance Company!! This group is definitely on the move with founder Gigi Torres, professional choreographer and dancer, leading the pack. It was a nice and chill Friday afternoon in Downtown Los Angeles, to say the least. Tigran, myself and 12 super dope, sexy dancers...what else could we ask for?!

Here are some production pictures, enjoy!






















We came across this nice alley way right smack in the middle of Little Tokyo, thanks Will! It was about 3pm, so it was a perfect amount of natural light pouring in down the sides. Thought it would bring a nice color to the already Fall skies.




Le Tigran and myself hard at work!












































Tigran taking a quick break. Essence, goofing off.






Great shot, these ladies were so easy to work with.

















We ended the night with some group shots along side the Downtown skyline. What a great day with such a passionate, and collective group. Thanks again Gigi, cheers to Essence and Tikko collabo part 2 !!!

Louis, i hate you and your incredibly high quality photos. seriously man. your range is broad and your work is superb. i was impressed with 90% of your shots from the night. (did you get your car back?) i need to work with guys like you to get better at my shit. you guys really are beasts, no joke. congrats on striking that Boogiezone deal, that's clever as hell. also on the picmember affiliation for MM.

your contact form wasn't sending, and i had no other way to contact you, so here I am.

Please let me know if you need assistance of any kind, honestly man. Though, I understand if it doesn't happen for a while based on my undeveloped eye. compared to you guys though. I still need experience to work with people on controlled shoots.
