While working with James and Drew in Detroit, we were able to recruit a last minute Michigan addition to our shoot. Jake is a great model who I’ve photographed before and he kindly contributed his skills to our urban decay sessions in the Motor City. Despite the fact that Drew and James were a couple,
I tell you, I’m having such a great experience working with couples recently. This time it’s James and Drew from North Carolina who agreed to pose for some urbex work in the Motor City.

Another adventure to Portugal, several regional excursions and a new turn in ceramics have made 2025 exciting.
