Inspired by the Pulp Fiction movie, this is one of the few personal pieces that actually reflects the vision I had in my head. From my amazing friends (Guadalupe & Guillermo) being the perfect models, the diner's personality and the kind people who worked there, to the cocaine and the blicky; I'm proud of the results.
Prepare. Prepare. Prepare.
In the perfect world, I would've location scouted at least a week in advance of the shoot. In the real world, I almost settled for a Denny's or an In-N-Out. The night before the shoot, the Omelet House 50's Diner appeared at the very bottom of my results list. The way my heart skipped a beat when I saw the Google review pictures... THE CHEVY TABLE. No, like, actually??! I immediately called and asked if we could reserve the table and take pictures inside the restaurant and with no hesitation, the staff welcomed us.
