The Vision: Captured at the restaurant inside the Petersen Automotive Museum, this shot focuses on the table setting before our meal arrived. I was really drawn to the unique green water glasses and how their color looks against the warm wood of the table. The small orange lamp in the center provides a soft, inviting glow that pulls all the warm and cool tones together.

The Vision:captured this moment at the OC Fair while waiting for a pig race to begin. I was really drawn to the warm, golden light and the red-and-white tents, which give the image a nostalgic, vintage feel. It reminds me of a classic summer day, and I love how the composition captures the energy of the crowd and the wide-open space of the fairgrounds.

The Vision:I captured this candid moment of my little sister on the Monterey Bay pier. As she looked out over the water, the wind caught her hair, and I loved how the warm, orange light of the late afternoon hit her skin and curls. There is a sense of quiet and peace in this photo that perfectly captures the feeling of being by the ocean at the end of the day.

The Vision:Peering out from my grandparents' bedroom window in Cambria, CA, I captured this scene of a fallen tree in their front yard. The tree had been toppled by high winds months earlier, and I found its resting place amongst the surrounding nature quite beautiful. The cool, gloomy light typical of the coast creates a serene atmosphere, and I love how the pickup truck parked nearby emphasizes the quiet, everyday life of this small coastal town.

The Vision: I captured this limited-edition Arizona Iced Tea collaboration at Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival. I loved the fun twist of replacing the classic "Arizona" branding with "Golf Wang" while keeping the iconic teal background and pink cherry blossoms. By focusing on the condensation on the can, I wanted to convey just how cold and refreshing the drink was in the heat of the festival.
