From Mexico With Love

Well, Bond, James Bond, might not have ventured south of the border to save the world that I can remember, but if he had, no doubt his female "associate" might have looked something like Alejandra.  Self described, (by me), as the perfect mix of Victoria secret sexy with NYC cool, Ale was an amazing person to shoot, beautiful, funny and just an absolute joy to work with.  Would love to make my way down to Mexico one day to shoot more women like her, and who knows, maybe have someone pour me a tequila and grapefruit juice with a slice of jalpeno for heat, shaken, not stirred.

New Year, New Color

This year started off with a little experimentation in color. I thought Olivia was the perfect subject to try out this new color formula. Yet another amazing Australian in front of the camera. I just need to go there already!

The Future

Hopefully Alex will be a part of a future editorial. In my opinion she is the quintessential (good word right?) model. She could just as easily be doing the Urban Outfitters catalogue as walking NYFW. She also has a great personality which if you read this blog you know is what really matters to me.

a little bit country

If you guessed that the CMA's were on the night before our shoot with Amanda based on the "country-esque" feel of this shoot, then you get a gold star! I love achieving goals, and one of my goals for my last trip out to LA was to shoot Amanda. I saw her layout in the last issue of Remix magazine and knew I had to shoot her. Her red hair and freckles, combined with my new found affinity for country music, and a secret lake we discovered off Mulholland drive, all added up to a story that had to be shot. 2012 is all about setting new goals. I'll check back here late next year to see if I won that Grammy for "Best New Country Artist", now all I need to do is learn how to sing and play the guitar, piece of cake.

Black Borders Are Beautiful

Bought some black bordered polaroid for my shoot with Caroline. Love the imperfections, hate that I didn't buy more.

Black and White Is The New Black

After seeing many of my color images floating around the internets sans color I decided to start experimenting a bit more in shades of grey. This swim shot of Alexa in black and white has more of an edge to it than it did in color. Plus I love how her eyes and her blonde hair pop against her skin tone.

Australian/American Diplomacy

It was fun dressing Kendal from 'down unda' in the good old stars and stripes with the 4th of July just around the corner. I felt like I was doing my part to bridge the divide that has separated our two counties for far too long. What you say? There is no divide? That Australia is basically like America's cousin but with free health care and a seemingly endless supply of beautiful blondes? Oh well, my bad. It was still fun though, Lee Greenwood would be proud.
