For the longest time, I’ve wanted to do a Spider-Man shoot, but the cards just never seemed to fall into place. Honestly, I was ready to give up on it - cinding a suit that looked good on camera without breaking the bank wasn’t easy. Finding locations that sold the illusion in LA was hard as hell. Then there was getting the lighting just right… and somehow finding a couple who could actually embody Peter and MJ.

With Brand New Day around the corner and every billboard around my damn house taunting me, I made the push to get this done.

After 3 shoot days, 18hrs of shooting, weeks of planning, scouting, problem-solving, and more setbacks than I can count… here it is. My love letter to the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. 🕷️❤️
