Mercyy Ft. Brianna Chocek & Jae Riddle

So yesterday I had a photoshoot with the band Mercyy and two of my friend/models Brianna Chocek and Jae Riddle.

The location was in LA, near fourth street, in the LA River and by the bridges. It was perfect combination between the ban and the all of the graffiti.

I went there about a week before and took some shots and I immediately new we had to do it there.

I had some friend that are in cosmetology that were going to help me out and do Jae and Bri's hair and make-up because the theme was 'Punk Rock' 'Rock Stars' but they backed out at the last minute. Bri did the hair and make-up well enough!

Then we met in LA and drove to the location.

After we got out of the sewers we came by a cop who was strange... he asked to take pictures with Bri and Jae.

From there we went on a rooftop of the building that was next to us. I wasn't even sure if it was possible to have gone up there but the pictures came out SO good!

Everything was perfect on that day. From there we went down back towards fourth street and got out at this place where we had easy access to trains. One of the cargo trains was open so we took advantage.

little did we know it was some homeless guy's house and we were intruding, he wasn't there, but it was still weird. Especially because we found porn hanging on the wall?
