Certain spots have a weird gravitational pull… like Newport Beach.

She’s roller skated almost every day for years. Newport Beach is her favorite place to skate on earth, and for her birthday she asked me to capture her there — in her element.

This is why I love what I do: document people where they feel most like themselves. And Boy was Meg feelin’ it!

It was rad. Her in her element. Me in mine. Shot with my favorite camera, off-camera strobe, and the sun doing the rest. Multiple exposures too!

Excited to get in the darkroom and process the film shot!
