When I set out to photograph the iconic Pasadena Rose Bowl, I wasn’t entirely sure how to approach it. Since access to the interior is usually off-limits without a game, concert, or flea market happening, I knew I needed to focus on the one element that everyone would instantly recognize—the sign adorned with a rose. To give it that unmistakable Los Angeles feel, I carefully positioned palm trees to frame the shot, blending the stadium’s legacy with the city’s signature charm.
