Francisco Castro at Ruby Sky [San Francisco Fashion Photography]

My dear friend Francisco Castro had a show at Ruby Sky in San Francisco. I was invited to do photography along with Robin Chilton of Peregrine Media who was shooting video. We had a great time shooting together again for the first time since last years Central Coast Fashion Week in SLO.

Central Coast Fashion Week Documentary Premiere [San Luis Obispo Fashion Photography]

Over the Summer I shot a series of Fashion Show at Native featuring several designers and local retail stores. Robin Chilton of Peregrine Media was also shooting the series for a documentary. Tonight was the premiere of his documentary at the Palm Theater in downtown San Luis Obispo. I drove down for the showing and it was amazing! Several of my images were featured in a Tribune article to promote the documentary. Biz Buzz: Is SLO becoming the Sundance of fashion? Next up, the film will be screening at the Paso Digital Film Festival on November 19th.

Central Coast Fashion Week: On Location at See Canyon [Fashion Photography]

With the Haute Couture Fashion series a wrap, Johnny Kenny, Robin Chilton and I decided to do a location shoot for the Peregrine Media documentary and to get more portfolio work for the models. Johnny hooked us up with his families property, the See Canyon Fruit Ranch. It is such a beautiful property with tons of interesting areas to shoot. We had 7 models and 3 designers (Francisco Castro, Kristina Michelle and Kate White, Scissor Clothing.) I was excited to get to shoot Kristina Michelle's clothes because I missed her fashion show. This was a very long shoot (sun up to sun down) and I ended up power napping on the floor of a barn during the break.
