INITIATING THE LAB: A New Protocol for Creative R&D

Client work is about your vision. The Lab is about mine.

As a photographer, I spend 90% of my time executing specific briefs for clients. It’s rewarding, but it requires staying within the lines.

Today, I am deploying a new sector of my business: The Lab.

What is The Lab? The Lab is a dedicated workspace for creative R&D. It is where I test specific aesthetics, experiment with vintage glass (like my Super-Takumar 50mm), and push the boundaries of what a "sports" or "portrait" photo can be.

The Current Protocols: I have opened six specific project files that I am actively recruiting for right now:

  • Vintage: 90s skate vibes, wide-angle distortion, and bold color.

  • Kinetic: The dark, gritty psychology of endurance sports and techwear.

  • Statement: Androgynous, structured fashion. Suits, wool, and confidence.

  • Bleach: High-key, overexposed sci-fi clinical aesthetics.

  • Monochrome: Intentional Black & White focusing purely on texture, form, and light.

  • Relax: Anti-structure. Oversized fits, flowing fabrics, and comfort as a visual language.

How to Join: This is a collaborative effort. If you fit the vibe of a specific file, you provide the look, and I provide the direction, lighting, and edits.

The system is online. The files are open.
