Orange County Coast

A late-summer evening at the cove. The swell was small, the beach was nearly empty, and the last usable light arrived as a surfer crossed the inside section.

Bar Pendry / Before Service

Photographed in Newport Beach before evening service, with attention to the room’s symmetry, practical lighting, and the staff preparing the bar.

California / Last Light

An unplanned portrait made at sunset. The horizon stays low and the sky remains open so the gesture between mother and child carries the frame.
