The idea of walking on water is limited by our own preconceived idea that it is physically impossible. The same things were thought about flight, space travel, and the four minute mile. Into The Great Wide Open gives me the feeling anything is possible, including walking on water. You just have to believe.

INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN

The inception of this collection sprouted from a simple question: how do the dolls we relate to as children correlate to the fixations and followings of our adult years? Did Malibu Barbie grow up to be Kylie, while Strawberry Shortcake became Lena Dunham? I don’t have authority to weigh in personally, but while running along the Silverlake reservoir I began to question the idea of dolls and assimilation. 
With the factory of Hollywood in mind, I started thinking back at the replication of artist and celebrity driven trends over the decades and how it's transpired into the digital realm today. 
The goal for this collection was to bring these questions to light, but moreover to highlight the fact that at the core of any strong following is a smart, beautiful woman, empowering others while forging businesses and amassing millions of fans who relate to her story. A woman with power who chooses to stand out and make her own rules. - MP

As an artist, there are points in life when you have to kill part of yourself, metaphorically, in order to be reborn. I shot this a few years back when I made the decision to be a full time photographer. It was my symbolic gesture, there would be no looking back.

This image is personal, powerful and carries tremendous emotional value, it marked a pivotal milestone in my life. My hope is that it speaks to you as loud as it speaks to me.

This NFT includes a 33" x 22" museum quality, framed print, signed by the artist.

REBIRTH

It was 10:30 pm on a Tuesday when my iPhone chimes, it was my friend Sami, "Hey Lalo, I just wrapped, and I have a rabbits head we didn't use for the shoot, I want you to photograph me wearing it. Are you in? I rarely say no to Sami, she's one of my favorite people to create with. And I hadn't seen her in a while. All wins. 

 When shooting film, I'll first take a few test shots with my digital camera in order to gauge the light, wardrobe, set design, placement of talent, etc. This image was one of the test shots which I quite like and I'm certain you will as well. Plus, I'm giving it away for free. 

You may put the edition up for sale. Or hold on to it and wait to see what transpires. 

TEST BUNNY

My good friend and often creative collaborator, Sami, contacted me late one evening and asked if I wanted to swing by and shoot her in a bunny mask. 
Sami was styling a photoshoot earlier in the day and had purchased the mask and was never used. I had not seen Sami in some time, so it was easy for me to say yes. 
CottonTail is one of a few images we shot that night on 35mm film and will be the first of 1 of one's in the CottonTail And Company collection to be released, with my PFP source image, "Bad Bunny", to be the last. 

A museum quality framed print will be awarded to the collector for any  sale exceeding 1eth. Overseas shipping to be paid by the recipient. 

10% of the sales with be going back to Sami. 

Not for commercial use.

COTTONTAIL

Sami contacted me late one evening and asked if I wanted to swing by and photograph her in a gold bunny mask. Sami styled a photoshoot earlier in the day and had purchased a mask which was never used. I've not seen Sami in some time, so it was easy for me to say "yes". 
Golden Hare is one of a few images we shot that night on 35mm film and will be the first of 1 of one's in The Velveteen Collection to be released, with my PFP source image, "Bad Bunny", to be the last.
A museum quality framed print will be awarded to the collector for any sale exceeding 1eth. Overseas shipping to be paid by the recipient.

GOLDEN HARE

The juxtaposition of this image is pure coincidence. The yoga pose was something Sarah came up with in the moment and totally spontaneous.  It may be the reason why it's one of my favorite photos.
