In August 2024, I shot test images with Emma from Bounty Models in Downtown Los Angeles during golden hour. Surrounded by skyscrapers and bathed in sunset light, the setting evoked a strong New York City energy—bold, modern, and cinematic. Emma, with her timeless, all-American features, embodied a striking contrast in a tailored, elegant jacket that gave her an air of a modern Victorian vampire. The styling, light, and architecture came together to create a mood that was sleek, dramatic, and editorial—where classic beauty met contemporary edge.
