I recently had the privilege to produce and style a FW 23/24 denim shoot with male model Luca La Via in East Hampton, NY. To add even more good vibes, to the denim shoot, we packed up the selected denim brands, photo equipments and the crew and set off on a labyrinth taking us from post rain soaked (mosquito infested) marshy grassland to break for cover and feed a hungry crew at the famous seafood hotspot Lobster Roll, a retro styled seafood shack prized for its classic hot and cold lobster rolls, and then, we spent a lot of time in and around the water chasing the endless point breaks and East Hampton surf and dunes.
