Sydney Tyra in Los Angeles

Model and dancer Sydney Tyra & I have shot a few times at different studios in the LA area.

For these photos we utilized a warehouse, a brightly colored pop art-esq room, and also the indoor pool that a studio had available to rent.

Shooting in this pop art room was fun. Ya’ll know I love color, and this room had a lot of it.

We finished up with this pool photo studio room featured below. (Which is a pool that has a glass cutout that the photographer can shoot through.) I’ve posted a behind the scenes video of this location on my social media for those curious.

Shooting with Sydney Tyra is always a blast. She has a charisma that engulfs the camera and creates a vibrancy within the photos. And while most models/people want to create work that’s already been done before, Sydney isn’t afraid to take risks and create new aesthetics.

Till next time,
