We’ve been on hiatus for over a year but we’re finally back! This is one of the biggest projects I’ve ever done for @abookof where I had to produce, creative direct, photographed one of the four covers, and art direct the entire magazine 😵💫 but I’m so happy with how everything turned out! 🥹 Grateful to everyone that helped make this possible!!! Big thanks to @universaltv and the hunks of @nbconechicago@darrenbarnet@brandonlarracuente@benjaminlevyaguilar !

A Sebastian Stan dump 🌟
I rarely get starstruck but it’s Sebastian Stan!!! Been a long time fan and he was super nice and fun to work with. Proud of you @graphicsmetropolis !!! So happy to be part of the @lamag family! Available on newsstands now!
Grateful to have been a part of this project for @thebeautyfx@fxnetworks with the gang! Loved working with everyone! Eye drops are a necessity when you have to stare at a monitor for 10 hours 💦👁️🧑🏻💻📸
The Beauty premieres tonight on FX.

Friends who work together, stay together. From chasing dreams in 2016 and turning them into reality in 2026. Big things already in progress 👀😭❤️ I’ve been planning this photo recreation for weeks before this became a trend 😩
2025 was a whirlwind for 12 months straight. A chaotic blur of 100+ shoots, major milestones, lessons, transformations, and deepened connections. Grateful for all the opportunities as well as the necessary endings that made room for a lot of new beginnings. Excited for 2026: the year of the fire horse! It’s our time to shine fire signs! Happy New Year!!! 🥳🎉🐎🔥

The K-drama influence is strong. The live action that nobody asked for. 😂 The hat that originally came with the outfit looked like the sorting hat but luckily I was able to find a traditional Korean gat in LA last minute.

How could I not be Jinu with this hair? Inspired by the teen magazine posters of celebrity heartthrobs and advertisements in Asia. I had to do this shoot TWICE cuz I kept cringing at myself doing some of these poses 😭😂. There were a lot more poses that will never see the light of day but hopefully I captured the K-pop idol essence🫰🏻✨🎃
