Beach dance photoshoot

Elseana Skowronski - Early 2025

Elseana Skowronski and I got together for a photoshoot in the San Francisco bay area earlier this year.

We began our shoot in SF just outside the Exploratorium near the Embarcadero. When we arrived, there was a small bridge that started spraying mist everywhere. We weren’t sure how long the mist was going to last, so we had El jump in and snapped a few photos of her on the misty bridge.

Turns out, the bride mist is an art project from Fujiko Nakaya. I snapped a photo of the information on the project;

After we shot at the fog bridge, we decided to head south outside of the city towards the Pacifica/Montara area. The weather was surprisingly warm for the bay area, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful.

Then we headed towards “The Devils Bunker” which offered massive views and a cool large structure.

Then we drove back into the city and finished our shoot at Bernal Heights.

Kenzie Cohen in SoCal

Kenzie Cohen and I started our photoshoot at the DTLA Visuals studios located in Los Angeles, California.

After we created shots there, we headed to the coast and shot in the late afternoon near Santa Monica Beach.

Shooting with Kenzie is great. She creates gorgeous lines and brings excellent charisma (and she’s always a blast to chat with during our shoots!)

You can follow Kenzie on IG here and keep an eye on the Zine for more shoots with her in the future.
