Jeremy and Cristina are a very awesome, edgy couple. Jeremy runs a sweet web design company called The 805 Collective. And Cristina is a student and his Ecuadorian lady:) When I first started talking to Jeremy about doing some pictures, his first reaction was to have them taken at night, with he and Cristina on the FREEWAY! I immediately fell in love with the idea of doing a night shoot with cars speeding by, however I desperately wanted to keep my good friends alive. So I figured out a way to get a sweet edgy road look while being (sort of) in control...

I had a little help from my friends: Richard (lights and car signaler), Glen (stunt car driver of Scion 1) and Will (stunt car driver of Scion 2). So basically each shot went down like this... I have Richard use my iPhone 4 as a flashlight, shining on the faces of my friends so I can manually focus on them. Then, I have Richard stand behind me watching for traffic and signaling the drivers of the Scions to start speeding after us. As soon as they start moving, I hit the shutter. 8-10 seconds later and BAM! Sweetness!!! Check them out for yourselves.
