To start the month off, Bo went out to Arizona to  shoot a new ad campaign for a dude ranch. After capturing the images needed for the ad campaign, Bo ventured out to photograph the reptiles that bite. While searching for rattlesnakes, Bo managed to get “bit” by a cactus. Ouch!!!

On April 10th through 18th, Bo Bridges Gallery doubled its space and teamed up with Hybrid Apparel to host  an art show that featured over 50 artists. The event was a huge success, having over 500 people come through the expanded gallery. Fresh food was provided by Waterman’s Bar and Grill. Because so many of Bo’s images are surf and beach inspired , Hybrid came up with Surfside Artillery as a themed art show in which to compliment Bo’s work.  All proceeds from the show went to Black Book Session, a non-profit organization committed to empowering and inspiring young talented minds. Bo has printed on various mediums and has revamped the gallery. You have to come see for yourself the incredible pieces that he has shot and the way that he has produced them. The gallery is open 7 days a week, and all are welcome to stop by. Bo Bridges Photography and Gallery is a retail space  providing  numerous options for any home and/or office installation.

Headed over to a sweet pad in Hollywood Hills overlooking the Los Angeles Basin, Bo shot the new Fall line for Devine Wear, a yoga inspired woman’s fashion line.  Bo worked along side with Dan Nikkel representing Spit Studio  to create a new look and feel for their website and lookbook. Bo selected the model beacuse she was also a ballerina, giving a unique twist to photo sequencing.

Chad Fernandez gave Bo a shout to come down to the Venice Skatepark. He had a new trick that he was going to attempt and wanted to make sure that it was captured. It took three tries and one snapped board, but he stuck it clean. Bo’s assistant for the day was his son, Kai, who also got some great pics.
