We did an editorial photoshoot in Chuck E. Cheese!

I heard on KTLA that all of the animatronics were being removed from the Chuck E. Cheese’s across Southern California and felt a call to action based on childhood nostalgia. My original goal was to take eerie portraits of the animatronics before they were removed but unfortunately, I never heard back from Chuck E. Cheese corporate.

My next thought was to do an editorial style shoot with a model I had been planning to collaborate with for a few years after meeting on a Facebook group for Southern California models and photographers. Working with Erika Marks was a true dream come true for this photoshoot, she absolutely understood the assignment and even brought a Ken Doll for a prop which was iconic if you ask me.

After eatting some pizza and sipping on wine, yeah we kept it classy AF, we got to shooting! Below is the full session from that day. I photogrpahed these on my Nikon Z6.
