Monochrome with Aleshia

Monochrome with Aleshia

Color has been my world for a while now โ€” all the rich tones, the cinematic warmth, the stuff Iโ€™ve been obsessing over lately. But shooting this set with Aleshia pulled me back into black and white in a way that felt familiar, not dramatic. View Post
