South Carolina

South Carolina brings me to Myrtle Beach, a place we went up to every year for a kickboxing competition called the IKF. My dad was a professional kickboxer and is now a coach, so these trips were a regular thing for us. I was about 19 and helping coach some of our fighters, and this was one of the first times I ever brought a film camera along. It was during this trip that I really started taking my camera out on my own, walking around and photographing the area. It was quite beautiful, and since it was a slower time of year, there weren't many people around. I think these pictures have a real nostalgic look to them. This was also before I started using professional labs to scan my film, so they look a little different from some of my other projects you've seen. They've got a softer, rougher quality to them since I was scanning at home on an Epson scanner. I'm really proud of these photos. They're some of my oldest, me as a younger man before I'd fully grown into my style, but I feel like you can see it starting to come through. I like Myrtle Beach, but it's not my favorite place I've ever been.

If any of these photos spoke to you and it’s not on my print page, please fill out the contact form and I will be more than happy to print out a custom :)
