Leila in Santa Monica, California | Night Portrait Photography Tutorial
Leila and I met at Manhattan Beach in 2016 and have stayed in touch ever since. When she came to New York for the Tennis US Open in 2018 we had brunch together. Now in 2020 we are doing a photoshoot together for YouTube. This was such a fun and special shoot to be able to work with Leila as she is one of my favorite people.
I have always wanted to photograph someone at the Santa Monica Pier at night. I love all of the fun, colorful neon lights and the iconic ferris wheel in the backdrop.
