Santa Monica Beach Portait Photography | Summer 2024

Here is a collection of some of my favorite photographs I took featuring model and actress Jenna Zhu for a lifestyle beach shoot in July 2024.

We had a few props prepared and the photoshoot was planned for sunset. Pretty soon after we arrived at the beach, the weather slowly became overcast and we had only a few minutes of sun before the mood of the photoshoot would change.

Despite the unexpected weather, I was happy with the final results of the images for this photoshoot.

These photos were taken with the Sony A7R III and the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art lens.

All photographs were edited in Adobe Lightroom.
