Between bites of Glaze teriyaki and lemon bars (sounds strange, but it worked), we spotted local photographer Molly DeCoudreaux on the job and snapping away. Her edgy-yet-relaxed style and hot pink lipstick instantly stole our attention.
What she wore: Handmade earrings, gift from friend; byCORPUS shirt, purchased from Urban Outfitters; Just USA black skinny pants, purchased from Therapy; Vintage Avon ring, found at Dolores Park; XXI booties, purchased at Forever 21; Sephora lipstick; Canon Mark III camera, purchased from Calumet.
Molly's beauty picks: Sephora Lip Stains, "They're Real" mascara from Benefit, and Now Solutions Vitamin C cleanser, toner and moisturizer.
"I pickle when I am stressed and actually have free time," said Molly. "I recently made green curry celery pickles, coriander beet pickles, and sauerkraut with cumin pickles."
Seven Questions for Molly:
1. Besides your camera, what are you always packing?
Two kinds of chapstick, a Demitasse spoon/seafood fork for eating on the go, a toothbrush for the same reason, business cards (mine and other people's that I meet on shoots), and a journal.
2. What's your best photography tip?
Spend more time composing -- look at the edges of your frame instead of just the center.
3. What's one thing most people don't know about you?
I love heist movies.
4. What's your drink of choice?
My summer time drink is a Hendrick's and Soda, while in the winter I definitely go for bourbon.

Ambition, true and calm confidence, loving your work and working hard, a favorite old t-shirt, good posture, and strong arms.
6. What would you never be caught dead wearing?
Leggings as pants (outside the house).
7. What's your Bay Area Top 5?
