This year began on a very sad note. I lost my friend and gifted hair stylist Karen Bishop. Every time Karen walked into the studio the room would brighten up. I would play soul from the 70’s and the day flew by. Karen had a talent to bring out the inner beauty of everyone she encountered. She will be greatly missed by many people. Below are two images from the last shoot we did together with Jackie Sanchez (makeup). Models are Meron Mamo (Red NYC) and Dieynaba Diop (Adam Models).
I am very excited to have a fashion/beauty editorial I shot published in The View Magazine (click here, starting on page 30), and previewed in this post.
Model Elena Kantaria from Women Management New York is stunning! Shot in my NYC studio Elena is styled by Ursula Agurto, hair by Mako Iijima of Cocoro Salon, NYC, makeup by Chris Aria (visiting from Sydney), and manicurist Arielle Vilmont.
We had a wonderful time shooting the story. I love Elena’s expressiveness and the texture of the hair. Below are a couple of shots from the editorial, please see the magazine online to view the story in full!
I trust you had a wonderful 2014 and wishing you a 2015 full of joy and bling!
Looking forward to the publication of a fashion/beauty editorial I photographed for The View Magazine! Shot in my NYC studio with model Elena Kantaria of Women Model Management, styled by UMA , makeup by Chris Arai, hair by Mako Iijima and manicurist Arielle Vilmont.
Here are some behind the scenes photos from a beauty editorial I shot Sunday for Fashion Reverie Magazine.
The theme was a nail slumber party. The editor was looking to shoot in a hotel room. Thinking that the location would not look authentic enough, I offered my guest bedroom. Shooting in my house is always a mixed bag… I like not having to travel to a location but having your home turned upside down for a day can be a drag. Thankfully the shoot was low impact, the team was great, and we are all very excited about the images we created. Love to Tiri (Q Models), Violetta (Q Models) and Madison Massey (Major Model Management) as well as T.Cooper – hair and makeup, and Angi Wingle of CND (nails).
Here are some behind the scenes photos. Can’t wait to share the images we created!
I haven’t looked very hard at the photos I took from yesterday’s shoot which I blogged about in this post… but my client has!
She just send me this stunner of model Irina Kondrateva of Q Models NYC. Needless to say she is quite pleased with our results!
For years I have wanted to work with Irina Kondrateva of Q Models. Go figure this is the second time shooting her in 3 weeks. She is as sweet as she is beautiful. We photographed a lingerie catalog today with a wonderful, talented team – Alexandra Fongaro hair and Lilly Jean makeup that made the day a breeze.
Here are a couple of behind the scenes photos and some images of the looks that we shot. Please note these images are not retouched and are straight out of the camera… just cropped and resized.
I photographed a fashion editorial for Bambi Magazine (NSFW) with Alyona Shishmareva. I recently looked at her online portfolio on her New York agency website Q Models NYC.
I was very pleased to see some of the images we shot in her book.
Styling by Ik, makeup by Wendi Miyake, hair by Elin Nyberg.
Once photography stops being fun I am going to quit.
Yesterday I had the pleasure shooting with Lindsay Phenix from Red Model Management NYC and Olga Kubrak from Major Models New York. It was a long day with lots of looks but we keep it light and have some fun in the studio on and off set. At one point Olga accused me of being a very serious photographer; my makeup artist Veronika Robova rolled her eyes. We are professionals, we take our work very seriously, but lets face it, this fashion photography and the object is to have fun making beautiful photos that sell clothing and a lifestyle.
One shoe on, one shoe off… Veronika confuses Olga!
Houston native Lindsay Phenix is inspired by the UT orange and flashes the “hook ’em horns” sign. Unfortunately the Longhorns are 3 and 5 this season. The bbq still kicks ass!
Want to share a new fashion editorial published in the latest issue of Bambi Magazine.
Please note the magazine and the fashion editorial are both NSFW. They both feature nudity. Below are some of the photos from the editorial and you can view the entire story by clicking HERE and scrolling through.
I love the quality of work they publish and very proud to have my photography included.
The story was shot in my New York studio featuring Alyona Shishmareva from Q Model Management NYC. My collaborators are stylist Ikponmwosa Edorisiagbon, makeup artist Wendi Miyaki and hair stylist Elin Nyberg.
I recently shot a lookbook for Brasilian born, New York based fashion designer Thais Lima. The concept was loose and edgy, just shoot the model against the wall of my Manhattan studio a few props like a ladder, box, stool, etc. The model was the lovely Karolina Nevia from Q Model Management, NYC. Karolina was actually a last minute replacement for another model who arrived with the flu. Everything happens for a reason… Karolina was amazing. She understood the concept and the clothing and was perfect face for the collection. Tiffany Oliver (hair and makeup) from Wilhelmina Artist Management had the easy task of making the beautiful Karolina look beautiful.
Below are some photos from the shoot, behind the scenes pic as well.
