For this series, I had the opportunity to spend a few days photographing the guys of The Forge, a photo studio/event/gallery space here in Los Angeles. On top of taking portraits of these handsome studs, I also documented the gorgeous space and the current renovation of their back studio.

The remodeled studio will have it’s first soft opening tonight at the All Visual LA + California Love show where I’ll be showing my new project Corolla. The studio won’t be completely finished for a while but come out and be the first to see what’s in store for the new studio!

Reunion - Natalie, 2012

I want to give a bit of backstory on my next large endeavor for my personal work. While there is a lot of writing that will be going along with this project, this is just a sampling. I’m totally fascinated by the fallacy of social media, and how it makes us feel connected to lost friendships and people of the past. This past year was my 10 year high school reunion and I didn’t participate solely because I knew this project was in the works. I didn’t want to have any personal interaction until I started making these photographs. I’m going back and photographing as many people as I can from my graduating high school class, most of whom I haven’t seen since graduation. I’ve been granted access to their lives through the years through the internet, from myspace to facebook. Yet, with no personal interaction, it’s just a voyeuristic way of me feeling connected. I wanted to reconnect. Whether it was old best friends, boys who bullied me for being gay, or people who I roamed the halls with yet didn’t even know their names. That time is so influential in most peoples lives, however in a lot of cases, ceases to exist after graduation. This project has a very symbiotic relationship with that of Not Without My Father & Memento, as it’s dealing with the same time period in my life. This project, while a personal journey, is one I hope everyone will be able to reflect on.

p.s. - my self-portraits are back, and I couldn’t be happier about it. Also, this project is going to be very multi-dimensional with still life images, environments and audio.

more to come…

Ryan is da bomb. dot com. I cannot wait to see this project come together.
