Does it count as street photography if it's inside a mall? No idea, but I like how these came out. Went here to photograph the Christmas decor and grabbed a few of these shots as a bonus.

Black and white image of the Gentle Monster storefront in the Houston Galleria Mall. Black and white image of brand iconography, with a photograph on the left and the letters "JD" on the right. Black and white image of people walking past the Gucci store in the Houston Galleria Mall as several people inside, framed by the doorwaty, stand around on their phones. Black and white image of a Victoria's Secret storefront at the Houston Galleria Mall. A screen framed by VS's famous pink coloring shows multiple images of a model; one of those images has part of its face removed. The mall is visible in the screen's reflection.

Some aquatic wildlife from one of Houston’s hidden gems, the Japanese Garden at Herman Park. #photography #naturephotos
Photo of a large koi fish swimming through a ray of light in the pond at the Japanese garden. A turtle floating in a ray of light next to some pine needles. Reflections of the surrounding trees are just visible in the bottom left corner of the water. A duck with black and white plumage swimming across the surface of a pond, caught in a ray of light. Ripples in the water can be seen flowing away from the duck.

Moments from a walk. Thrilled it's starting to cool down here a bit lately.

Some keepers from the Profoto lighting demo last weekend. This model was super cool to work with and had a great look, plus the lights they let us use were insane.

One of the best books I’ve picked up recently and I checked it out from the library on a whim. If you’ve read this please geek out about it with me and tell me what else I should read by this author.

#portraits from a recent lighting workshop. Crowded, but fun and informative. I'm always up for a chance to practice studio lighting.

Shot these studio portraits last Sunday and love how they turned out. "Professional" doesn't have to mean boring.

Lately the weather’s been so nice and I’ve been getting outside more, so I took these at one of my favorite parks. If you’re reading this, go touch some grass and/or hug a tree. 🌲

Some images from Malibu that didn't make the last #photo post. Someone pay me to travel the world and be a landscape photographer, thanks.
