ON SOME NIGHTS LIKE THIS IN LOS ANGELES

I've been to Los Angeles once before, but this trip was a different experience for me, mainly because it was my first solo trip. When I went in August 2016, it was for a one week vacation with my family, and at that time, my blog was non-existent. Therefore, I did not document my trip (if you were following me on Instagram back then, you would know I did post a few outfits looks from that trip, but that was it). Some of my Instagram posts from my Los Angeles trip below back in 2016: so much growth since then that I could almost cry!

This trip was a bit different because I was able to achieve so much in such a crazy short period!. During the week of October 20th, 2019, I only spent about five days in Los Angeles, and I was still able to catch up with my friends and even get my content creation work done. (ps: I will be making a follow-up blog post of fun things you can do in LA if you are there for a short stay!) I had the opportunity of working with a few photographers within those five days, and this has been a fantastic experience. For this particular blog post, I had the opportunity of working with Femi (@thechigerian on Instagram), and we agreed on shooting in Rodeo Drive at night. In the spirit of photoshoots, night time shoots might be my favourites (ps: if the location is well-lit with enough lights, then you should be good!). So, if you are based in Los Angeles or you are visiting from somewhere else, you should hit up Femi to take your photos. You can contact him on Instagram - @thechigerian Wanna recreate this look?
