I wanted to take a break from shooting my pinhole series for awhile, so I focused on a Noir portrait series I have been wanting to do. I think I still have some fine tuning left on this series, my goal is to have it more stylized.

What I like about doing surreal images and photography in general, is that it gives me an opportunity to tell the story of the world through my eyes. I have always gravitated toward the darker side of things, not because I'm morbid but because it holds a certain fascination and interest to me. The mysterious was always more appealing to me than the ordinary.

This image is inspired by many things, but the one inspiration that stuck out to me was a song by the group Shinedown who sings this amazing song called "Fly from the inside". The lyrics are so moving to me.

This image is another one from my surreal series, I have yet to name this particular series. To bad My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is already taken, haha.

Models are my good friend Steven Lopez, and Louis Castellanos.

I have decided to finish off my two series from 2010, the Lichtenstein Pop Art, and my Frank Miller inspired series.

In the Sin City set my models are Lisa Hermon and Travis Gayler , and in my Lichtenstein set my models are my good friend Steven Lopez, and Louis Castellanos.

I have been procrastinating on these for far too long, and decided to put them up so I can focus on putting new and recent work up. :)

This is another series I have worked on this year. It is inspired by the graphic novel style of Frank Miller, which in turn was used in the film based on his graphic novels, Sin City, which is one of my favorite movies. My model is Anthony Castro, one of my best friends.

This is the second photo in my Lichtenstein Pop Art inspired series.

Here's my new website up and running!! It was a true labor of love, with heavy emphasis on the "labor".

I designed it and uploaded it myself, which is not bad for someone with zero web designing experience. But it was very challenging, and at times I felt like giving up and just paying a professional to do it.

So without further ado...........here it is: Torin chaos photography
