Venice portrait - Skaters

A couple weeks ago I went out to continue a series of portraits I’m doing with people I encounter on or around the Venice Boardwalk. I’m still not sure where I’m going with this project, but so far I’m having fun doing it. I do know I’m trying to avoid shooting the typical boardwalk scenes, such as street performers, vagrants and various eccentrics, and am mostly shooting people who are just there to enjoy the scene. For now I’m just going to keep on shooting and we’ll see where this goes. Previous photos from this are posted here.

I’ve had a lot of fun shooting street photography on the Venice Beach Boardwalk, but decided this time to try something different. So, with my intern Nanette and a single strobe I set out to make some portraits. Unfortunately, the hour we had to shoot was cut short by a dead battery in one of my Pocket Wizards. So much for spontaneity. But we were lucky to run into a few cool people in our short window of time and I’m really happy with the results. I’ll definitely be heading back for more in the near future.

Venice Beach

Just a couple shots from a stroll along Venice Beach this Sunday. Not that you can tell from these pictures, but this weekend marks the end of the “busy season” along the boardwalk. It wasn’t as crowded as I’ve seen it, but there were still plenty of people out enjoying the sites, sounds and smells of Venice. Good and bad in each category. The beaches were lined with surfers and sun worshipers as well. Luckily for everyone, the warm spell we’ve been having the last week or so subsided and temps dropped down to a near perfect (in my opinion) upper 70s. It was a nice day to be out.
