Smiles and Laughs | Brylan

Let the kids have there day, I recently had a portrait session with a very handsome young man Brylan, Kids will do the cutest things, that is until they see a camera, children truly are the future. I am truly grateful, I was given the opportunity to capture this moment for Brylan and his parents, laughter, crying and the occasional smile: Priceless…

3rd Annual Scott Kelby World wide Photo Walk

I got the chance to see Scott Kelby and the Photoshop guru's in person at a CS5 workshop held in NYC, I was excited to say the least... and about a month ago I had the opportunity to participate in the Scott Kelby worldwide photo walk, for the third time in three years, and once again it was something to talk about, I had a chance to link up with old friends, and make a couple of new ones, but it is always great to spend a day with a group of people that share your interest, we participated in the walk at the Bronx Botanical Gardens on July 24, and it was a scorcher, with water bottle and handkerchief wrapped around my wrist I had a ball, here are a few pictures that I like to call my 5 star roll… Enjoy!

Backstage

It’s almost September, and for me it brings a smile to my face. Mercedes-Benz Fashion week is just on the horizon another year of the best the industry has to offer, a lot of my friends always ask me what goes on backstage, I look them straight in the eyes and say if I tell you, I will have to kill you. Honestly though, it’s a mess. now don’t get me wrong, it’s a chaotic symphony of designer, make-up artist, hair stylist, model and show coordinator, all scrambling around with their own assignments and opportunity to make 60minutes or less an event you will want to write about, in Harper’s, V, vogue, Fashion ledge and the list goes on… so in tribute to all the hard work that never really gets a front row seat, take a peek Backstage…

 

sidebar (The Creative Process)

I have been tied up, working on some personal projects, I get to see a lot of models and new clothing as models rip the runway, when I shoot for Fashion Ledge so as often as possible I work with makeup artist and stylist, I am in the process of putting together a team, (the A-TEAM) to further our creative energies, the future of artistic expression…

I had the opportunity to collaborate in an ongoing project, working with expressions and the interaction of beauty and the colors of life through fashion… I hope you like the beginning results, model Melissa Huynh, Ami Grizzly, Katheryn Mcgaffigan, Merlix Ventura, Zephorah Nure and Make-up Efia Crandon, Stylist Danielle Adefeso I also had an opportunity to put the team closer to our goal, a true creative mix, between 4 individuals, from Stylist, to Hair to Make-Up to the capture of it all, I believe we have only touched the surface of our goal, you let me know how we're doing, comments wanted.

My dream is to have a full page layout in Essence…
