Lately I have been trying to expand my product and commercial side of my website since I have less images inside that book on my website.
What better way to start a new project than by using my favorite color as a base?! In this series of fruit and products, I really experimented with duo color backgrounds, which is something new to me.
I genuinely had fun doing these, and I hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you think!
A few weeks back I blogged about moving to a new area called Destin, Florida. (link to this blog at the bottom.) Since I have been here I have been working really hard at building connections, and making friendships. Through these connections, I met a really genuine and good friend.
As Some of you already know, I have been working with an organization in the area. That organization is called Coastal Community Cleanup. Coastal Community Cleanup is a non profit organization that was founded by one of my good friends, Megan Betancourt.
Coastal Community Cleanup is an organization that sets out to do just what if says. Clean up the beaches! Every few weeks the CCC team picks a beach in the area to clean up. Its typically scheduled as a two hour event. When you arrive, you are provided with resuable gloves or tongs, and a burlap bag to collect trash that you find in the sand or in the water. At the end of scheduled cleanup, you come back and sort what you found out into trash, recyliables, etc. Then the CCC team takes care of depositing the trash to the right centers. For this event, the CCC team helped out a Target volunteer event that was great fun and a big success! The cleanup happened at a small beach access called Norriego Point. The total amount of trash collected and removed weighed about 40 pounds! It was really great to see all the teamwork and hard work from my fellow friends and coworkers! (link to their website below if you want to help out and see upcoming events!)
Below are a few of the images I took during the Cleanup. Enjoy!

I just wanted to let you all know, to go check out my new/updated website sections!
The new section is called "Spreads". In this new section, you will find all of my published work, and where it was published.
The updated sections are called "Quick Portfolio", "Fashion", and "advertisement". (Fashion and Advertisement can be found under books). Inside these updated sections you will find new work, and a new sequential order of all the images.
I have been working hard to produce a lot of cohesive work to show you, I hope you enjoy it, and Below will be a sample of some of the new work now on my website, but if you want to see more you'll have to check it out on your own! :]
I have really been thinking about how much water we use on a daily basis lately as well as how much trash we as humans put out into the world daily. That is why I tried my very first PSA, To show how important it is to keep the world clean, before we are all stuck drinking trash filled water, and living in a see of plastic bottles.
Making this PSA took a lot of strange combinations of objects. The water in the bottle itself came from a water treatment park called Wingfield Pines, so in order to get the natural rust water in the bottle, I had to actually get in the water! That was definitely not the high point of my day, but totally worth it. The second part of this process was going through my apartment and grabbing anything and everything that would fit in a bottle. There is even a plastic knife and tin foil ball that got shoved into the bottle. The last part of the shot process was trying to move the objects in the bottle around while in the bottle of water. (Just as hard as it sounds). well, I hope you enjoy the image!
