LA Stranger | Sarah Shelton

By Minh | January 29, 2015

A couple weeks back, I posted on my Instagram that I wanted more practice shooting models and was looking for anyone who would be down to model for me. Surprisingly, Sarah hit me up to shoot as she was based in LA and wanted to get some cool photos.

Sarah said she has never been to the LA river, so we decided that would be our first location.

The water was low enough for us to walk in the river and made for some cool shots.

A cool little background story of Sarah, she’s originally from Massachusetts worked and lived in New York for a couple of years and then recently just moved out here to California hustling her way to success. Gotta admire someone who’s willing to go to unknown places for their career.

I think one of my problems with editing photos is that everything isn’t uniformed.

But Sarah looked great in these photos and compensated for my lack of photography skills.

I thought this photo was pretty funny because I immediately pictured Sarah saying, “I aint got no more time for this bull shit”.

That look.

It’s cool that she’s also a photographer and has some cool creative stuff on her Instagram.

Afterwards we went exploring around Little Tokyo and went through a bunch of pipe shops and medical clinics.

Found this crazy Alice in Wonderland street art at this clinic. It made for some cool street photos.

“Stair stuff”

Live and die in LA.

Thanks Sarah for shooting with me today, I will definitely hit you up for upcoming projects for HOODRATstuff.
