2007 Bikini

This was an amazing shoot . Seems like everything was against me on this day and I was so proud to get this series! 
I wanted to shoot more Fashion and missed the clean simplicity of Herb Ritts from the late 80's early 90's.
 As I lit these shots I was amazed , it seemed as though I was shooting two woman , the actual model and her shadow. I enjoyed the play, in reality the model was strong , modern and sexy in a sort of  Helmut Newton  way and the shadow was soft and feminine , delicate, romantic.
Paul at Icon did an amazing job work with me on these images and they were printed on flex paper 20x20 and Rudi and Ramon at Fine Art Solutions  exquisitely framed them with reflective acrylic face and 1/2 in acrylic backing 
Also God Bless 
Model: Alexandra MasHair & Make-up: Helen Jeffers , Stylist: Mellisa Bridge, ;-)Charnelle,Studio:  Smashbox and Assistant: Yolanda White for rolling with the punches on that day !
Thank you

2007 Gelan Lambert Jr.







I had the great pleasure of meeting and shooting with Gelan Lambert through a mutual friend Taaj.  Initially when I saw him perform I was speechless , his lines and form were impressive . I thought of  a line drawing , simple but powerful ...... creating an image in black  with strong Key lighting, allowing the subtle details to emerge out in the darkness.
