When I was in college, and still now, I get hired to take pictures of couples and individual women sometimes. It’s mostly boudoir stuff, like looking sexy in bed and the photos are a gift for their significant other. I shoot 100% analogue film, so I do the shoot, then develop the film and give them prints. It never leaves my house and no one else ever sees the prints. Because of all of this I’ve had some interesting clients here in LA over the years and had a lot of fun.
For maybe a year, I did free shoots of couples and friends and all of that, then one day I got a recommendation and this couple from Malibu called me. I’d met them once before at a party and kind of remembered them as a pretty attractive, cool older couple – maybe mid-40s who didn’t have kids and both worked in the ad agency world as executives. Their whole house was covered in awards from the biggest brands.
