He gives you suggestions, and with his magic eye, he ends up taking the perfect shot. We were able to catch the golden hour and took the best pictures. I am extremely happy with the results.

The Frame [explained]


"The frame" acts as my unique watermark- a recognizable image or pattern embedded on a photo to identify ownership. I began adding "the frame" to images I share online after noticing my work circulating on the internet without my consent. Over time, "the frame" has evolved into a signature element, establishing brand recognition, especially within the surf and concert scenes where fans now seek it out.
