Seventies: Fab Stain Nick Ottaviano shot by Lucy Wagner

Lucy Wagner is my oldest friend [we've been best friends since kindergarten] and a student photographer based in Los Angeles. She has just, in the past month, finished an AP portfolio with a concentration on the dichotomy between order and chaos. Lucy continues to photograph in both film and digital and will begin studying at the University of Southern California next year.  Here are some photos Lucy took of me in my 'Seventies-inspired'!

L.A. PEOPLE [pt.2]: natasha lillipore by nick ottaviano

My friend Natasha Lillipore [@lillipore] is a 20-year-old designer, model, illustrator and blogger. Although Natasha's appearance gives off the same vibe as a John Waters character, her style is both eclectic and classic. Natasha is currently immersing herself in her brand, Her Tiny Teeth [@hertinyteeth], where she designs hand-embellished eyewear. When she's not focusing on her business, she has recently been modeling for companies such as Japan LA, Boy London and IronFist, as well as being the new cover girl for Lime Crime Makeup. Since Natasha and I both really like 90s style and EVERYTHING holographic, we decided to do a shoot inspired by the digital age. Here's what we came up with!

Jackson Beyda [@jacksonbeyda] is a Los Angeles-based artist and photographer who works in mixed media. I met him a few weeks ago and I was instantly taken by this photographic style; Jackson clearly captures the essence of LA youth. I am so excited to be part of his current projects, a series titled simply 'adolescence'. Jackson's work can be found at Cargo Collective and his photoblog.

JUST A TASTE ☯ My Fav Photos So Far ☯

Hello Fabulous Stain readers! For my first post, I thought it would be great to show you a sample of my photography so you know what's in store for future posts! I have been photographing for the past two years and my artistic style is truly related to my fashion style. My photos are generally focused on color,  and feature models in bold poses. I photograph models who interest me and I try to manipulate the design of the photo, whether it be the set, makeup, or styling, to reflect that person. Hope you like what you see and look forward to more shoots! - Nick
