Flashin back Friday from the album package shoot I did for @snoopdogg "Ego Trippin" that was a good job, my biggest when it comes to album shoots @sastudiosglobal did the whole album. I did the photos @misterctoons did the logo and me and @sickluckz did the layout. Snoop said I want that real L.A. Shit, well you came to the right place! We did the whole shoot at his old high school Long Beach Poly High. #ThisIsLA #estevanOriol #mistercartoon #lilLucky #SaStudios #SnoopDogg #egoTrippin #longBeach #blackAndWhitePhotography #35mmfilm #canonae1 #thisIsLosAngeles #longBeachPolyHigh
