Yesterday was Anton Corbijn’s birthday, so I felt compelled to post some black & white images from our recent session with Dakota.

Anton’s work has influenced me for years — not just visually, but emotionally. There’s an honesty and atmosphere in his images that always stayed with me. Imperfect in all the right ways. Grainy. Shadowy. Quiet. Human.

Black & white photography strips things down to expression, light, texture, and mood. Without color competing for attention, emotion tends to come through a little louder. Sometimes a monochrome finish feels less like a “style choice” and more like the way an image was always meant to exist.

These images were created with that spirit in mind. Moody, cinematic, a little raw, and centered more around feeling than perfection.

📷 EOS R5 Mark II with RF 28-70mm F2 L USM and the Sweet 35 lenses
💡 FJ400 strobes (beach) and Ice Light 3 RGB LED Tube Light (village) by

☮️❤️ in ‘26

Hope you find it in everything,
Everything that you see

There are many reasons to be thankful for in 2025: my wife, our kids, the places we went to, the things we did. And of course, our clients.

But the one moment I cherish most was when performed Hide & Seek with at in Utah and I got this shot of Howard and Brandon smiling admiringly at each other. It means the world to me.

A 36”x36” framed metal print of this shot will be on display at our new studio, so be sure to stop by to check it out!

Happy & Peaceful New Year!
