About Joel Llacar | Meet Me!

I am so proud of this project! It has been a long time coming since late fall 2010, when I collaborated with Brian Noah of Noah Photography and Matthew Roberts of Rewind Photography for a little video about me! I also would like to thank my couple Mari and Ron for allowing us to capture them also on video. I could have not done it without them. Mari and Ron were such a fun couple, and the Mission Inn in Riverside during the Holidays proved to be a beautiful backdrop. I also would like to thank my assistant for that day, fellow photographer Blake Murphy for putting up with us (and especially me!).

So here it is!
