Nikki Chau Doing Yoga
At the end of the shoot I did for Nikki’s yoga studio, we got the idea that she could do some poses in the pool at Cal Anderson Park. I liked the way a few of them turned out.
Lights on a pier
I didn’t even notice the reflection when framing the shot, but now I love it. It seems like every density of blue is represented here.
