SugarLosAngeles
The goal is a simple one, create beautiful images. I focus on the person, not the camera. I dont retouch a single photograph. And sometimes I shoot in the dark. I like it that way.
Coole, sexy und natürlich Bilder von hübschen Frauen aus L.A.
Das Projekt Sugar Los Angeles hat sich diesem Thema verschrieben.
I hope that you feel a sense of who these wonderful women are through these images. They are real, they are unique, and they all have their own style. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Hier kommt mein Interview mit Kody James, dem Fotografen hinter diesem Projekt
What was the intention behind Sugar L.A. ?
Sugar LA was started with the intention of creating a small online magazine. The goal quickly changed as the photos piled up. I work full time in a normal town outside of Sacramento and didn't have the resources to do the elaborate shoots and I found out very quickly that I didn't want to. I started working with people I would meet at the mall, coffee shops, wherever. It helped me find my style and progress my work by having people to work with that didn't have a preconceived notion of what modeling was. It allowed me to focus on the moments that were real. I love the shots that don't feel like a magazine shot. They're not posed, just moments that you would find in your everyday life. The goal now is to simplify what i do and really focus on the people i work with. Everybody is so unique and i love capturing that. I'm really trying to push that idea and find out how far I could take it. I would love to work with celebrities and turn them into regular people again.What kind of camera do you use most ?
I shoot with a Nikon D7000 and a 35mm 1.8 lens. I don't use anything else. I don't retouch any of my work, just get my colors where I like them and start posting. I shoot too much to use film, I wouldn't have the time to process it! I spend about 10-20 seconds on an image and send it out. For me, without digital, I couldn't do what I do.Where do you find your models?
It is so random. To give you an idea of how random, there is a guy at the local gas station that knows what I do, he approached a customer and said "I really like your look! I have a friend who's a photographer, here's his number". Her and I just shot for an international magazine coming out soon. You just never know.When did you start the project ?
January of this year. All of the images you see on my site, Instagram, Facebook, etc. we're all shot over the last few months. I basically shoot, and start posting about 20 minutes later.Who are you ? Just a regular guy trying to do honest work. Keep it real.
Thank you Kody James
