It's been a long and crazy spring break for me with shoots left and right, HIN, work, and trying to find time for myself. I always enjoy every opportunity I get to use my camera especially if it's to try out new things to improve my photography. Every session/shoot I get, I consider everyone's involvement/time rather than my own because I'm no pro and for me it's a hobby that I love doing, and to spread the word of the concept of DIY. That being said, I asked a friend of mine to help me out with doing a photoshoot of the Acrylick Clothing Flagship store in Azusa.
A little intro of Acrylick Clothing for those of you who aren't familiar. From their website:
"We are a Los Angeles based clothing company, making fashion with a positive message, putting meanings behind every shirt/work/design. We at Acrylick believe that things should be universal. We dont believe in conformity of any sort. Each individual embodies their own originative spirit and should share it with others. What we are trying to accomplish is to have our clothing line be universal. We want our clothing to be worn by everyone no matter what race, creed, gender, or status they are."

I've been a long time supporter of Acrylick clothing and it's always an inspiration to think about how much the company has grown and where it is today. Acrylick's style is casual but dressy and I think it has it's own form of making a statement whenever you see a piece of clothing from them.
Getting the go ahead, I honestly didn't know what to expect even though I always go to the store to buy clothes. Luckily everything worked out because the interior of the store resembles a studio where the displays can be moved around and shifted easily (even though I didn't do much of that). My equipment for the day was a flash, a few light modifiers, a 50mm prime lens, and a 17-55 lens. Most of the shots were taken at f/1.8 to f/4 since I was going for a macro themed shoot.
All in all a good experience where everything came out the way I wanted with the help of my assistant, the friendly/helpful staff of the store, and the overall good vibes of the shoot.
