Satin

I shot headshots for a commercial model turned actress named Satin last week. She had me and the makeup artist, Denise Mojica, cracking up from the moment she walked in the door. I had shot Satin about a year ago to give her modeling images for her portfolio so we had easy rapport and she was used to my shooting style. Let me tell you, this girl was a trooper! It was a sunny 90 degree day, AWFUL for outdoor shooting, and I was marching that girl all around upper manhattan to find a suitable shooting place. She really took it in stride...and had us laughing along the way. Here are some of her headshots, more on the way as I edit.

John

On Saturday I shot an old friend from high school that I hadn't seen in forever. He looked exactly the same, I felt old. He was always a drama kid back then, so it only follows that he's a rising theatre/acting star now.
We shot headshots in a few locations around inwood manhattan. He was great at invoking different characters and feels. At one point I was narrarating his character's life and he was emoting as that character for each shot. It was FUN! I love shooting actors!

More images are on the way, but here is just one teaser.

Christine

I shot actress/model Christine this weekend as well. She was a true chameleon and morphed into a vampiress, elle woods and audrey hepburn all in one day! The makeup artist was Elizabeth and she did a wonderful job of transforming Christine.

JoAncy

This was my second shoot with JoAncy and first with a new makeup artist Elizabeth. It went so well. Personalities meshed, lots of laughs were had, and we got some killer shots!!

I'm still editing the images, but wanted to get some shots out to you. I'll continue adding them as I finish them up. Luckily, they really don't need much work at all! Gotta love a great model and makeup artist team!

Jivanta

I had the pleasure of shooting Jivanta, a dancer/actress/model comedienne. She arrived on time which I loved. We just had to wait a while for the makeup artist. Once we got rolling the shoot was great. She was very easy to shoot and took direction well. We did headshots and some fashion work outdoors. It was hot as hell and she was a good sport throughout it all. Here are a few images, more coming soon.
