It’s always interesting to take a picture of someone else taking a picture. This shot was taken during a photo shoot we were filming for El Volo, a famous photographer and editor for Low Rider Magazine. My partner Reggie Reagor has been working with him for a few years now. We all went along to capture this particular day, which was filmed in the LA River. While Danlen and Reg were filming, I was taking snap shoots of what was going on. What is captured here is a still image that I converted from the video Danlen shot. I had to change the angles using some clever techniques to get the exact angle and shot I wanted. The color of the car was so dynamic that I wanted to show the audience nothing but the purple, so I changed all the other colors into a high contrast black and white just leaving the purple popping out of the photo. Dope!!!
