The Vision: Gritty, High-Fashion Vintage

For this session, we wanted to push the boundaries of standard fashion photography and create an edgy, raw editorial look. We pulled unique wardrobe pieces straight from legendary LA vintage spots like Aardvark’s, combining textured layers, bold cuts, and retro streetwear aesthetics.

My recent editorial shoot with Gavin was one of those moments. The Vision: Gritty, High-Fashion Vintage For this session, we wanted to push the boundaries of standard fashion photography and create an edgy, raw editorial look. We pulled unique wardrobe pieces straight from legendary LA vintage spots like Aardvark’s, combining textured layers, bold cuts, and retro streetwear aesthetics. We shot across a variety of contrasting locations: Industrial & Street Vibes: Pairing fur coats, suspenders, and vintage trousers against urban backdrops to contrast luxury with street edge. Coastal Edge: Taking the styling out to the rocky Newport shoreline with rugged leather, hats, and dramatic natural lighting. Classic Diner Concept: Capturing moodier, cinematic indoor shots with warm vintage lighting inside a classic diner setup. Gavin’s versatility made bringing these concepts to life effortless. Full-Circle Moment Seeing Gavin step in front of my lens for a high-fashion shoot like this was a full-circle moment for me. Years ago, Gavin’s mom reached out when he was just a young kid, asking if I could help him break into the modeling industry. We set up his very first test shoot, built his initial portfolio, and put together his zed cards. Knowing the industry inside out from my own modeling days, I took his images over to my agency, LA Models. They signed him, and since then, Gavin’s career has taken off—landing major gigs, including campaigns for Target. A Note That Means the World Moments like this remind me how rewarding it is to guide talent right from the starting line. Here is a sweet review his mom left about our journey together: "Glenn is truly the Best! First let me start off by saying that Glenn has truly helped me and my son GAVIN from the get go ...
