BLK MRKT ALCHEMY for AirBnb Experiences

I shot a stills & motion project for the LA-based omakase cocktail experience Black Market Alchemy. The project was for submission to AirBnb Experiences which had some specific requirements: Everything must be vertical, and it must be lit with existing ambient lighting, I couldn’t add any. It was a fun challenge to do a project with those parameters even though I really enjoy lighting. The stills were easy enough to capture vertically, and I ended up filming the video with vertical guides on my camera monitor so I could end up with standard footage for my portfolio. The tapas-like experience is 10 courses over an hour and a half of chef-created cocktails with bespoke food garnishes and some fun surprises. I would highly recommend it if you are in Los Angeles on a Monday night.

I did another AirBnb Experiences project with Marisol of Sol Search Jewelry. She offers a jewelry-making class catered to beginners out of her space at Crafted in the Port of LA in San Pedro and soon at her secondary location in Atwater Village.
