My 80s clothes: Camp Beverly Hills

• London Photography Awards 2025, Self-Portrait Winner for the My 80s Clothes photo series
• Annual Photography Awards 2025, Portrait Honorable Mention for the My 80s Clothes photo series
• Wild at Heart & Weird on Top 2025 exhibition, The Lab on Santa Fe, Denver

Shirt: Camp Beverly Hills branded crop top I bought from a mail order catalogue in 1986 when I lived in Michigan. Found out later that staying at anything less than a 5 star hotel is considered camping in Beverly Hills.

Watch: Swatch watch with yellow band bought in 1988. Tried putting in a new battery but after sitting in a drawer for 35 years it was as dead as a doornail.

Pink framed sunglasses: Can’t remember where I bought them but it was some time around 1985-1986.

Shorts: Red tapered running shorts with blue trim by Balboa. Air dry on curtain rod or tumble dry, low heat so no further shrinking will occur.

Winter portrait

It was a sunny and warm February day in Los Angeles on this shoot but I wanted to do a moody fashion and portrait shoot near the beach and on it. I was hoping for an overcast day but no such luck as the typical sunny California day showed up.

As it turns out, it worked out perfectly as we got some fabulous shots utilizing the late afternoon winter sun to our advantage and using shadows where we could and then laid some moodiness on top of that in post.

Dead ends

I love shooting in the desert. Film, still photography, any kind of theme, it doesn’t matter.

I love how the beauty and the vastness of the desert creates a feeling of being alive and how that contrasts with the possibility of death at any moment and the death surrounding the Salton Sea.
