Fashionista
I was excited when Christian Ramirez, a TV host at Telemundo, asked me to shoot J Mendel's show. I liked the flowy and geometric style that was on display at the show; very inspirational! I was able to get some great backstage shots of some of the models practicing their walks, as well as of the actual show.
This past week has been a busy week for me, Fashion Week started on Thursday September 10th. I've been out and about shooting all of the various runway shows. (I will post some more photos from the week later). On Friday, I was shooting the Custo Barcelona show and on my way out I ran into the beautiful Dascha Polanco. You may know her as Daya from Orange Is the New Black. She was super sweet and let me take some great photos of her. She has such a beautiful smile! I wanted to share some of the images:
I don't usually post photos of myself, but I was very happy to meet Dascha. I am a big fan of Orange is the New Black.
I went to The Knot's Couture bridal fashion week with Jenna Salvagin and it was a great opportunity to see some new styles by Maggie Sottero! It's a totally different experience from Mercedes-Benz fashion week. The dresses in the collection are completely affordable for most brides...you might have already seen someone you know getting married in one of these beautiful dresses! Here are some of my favorites.
I was backstage a lot during this season, while I was there I kept noticing they had a lot of manicurist, I was very intrigued. There were a ton of shades of polish and each show had a many different colors. All of nail polish that I saw was provided by Zoya. I was very excited because I have many zoya products already, but I wanted to learn more about them. Their nail polish is all vegan, which is wonderful! It goes on really smooth and when you take it off it is very easy and you don’t have to keep scrubbing, Don't you hate when your polish doesn't want to come off? With this, it comes off very quickly! (I love that!)
The people from Zoya were very nice, they told me about their new satin polish line, which I have yet to try, but I was lucky enough to be given a few samples to take home with me! I haven’t used the satin yet, but I did play around with the colors I got from the Zang Toi show. They were very pretty brown tones perfect for this snowy weather we are having now. (sorry I didn’t take a photo of my nails).
Herve Leger & Malan Breton also had Zoya doing the nails for their shows. The colors were beautiful! Unfortunately I didn’t get to keep those, but I got a few other colors to try out! I’m so excited for it to get warmer so I can play with all of the colors!

Fashion week was a blast this season! It's the last time it will be held at Lincoln Center, which is a little bit sad, but none the less we had a great time! I got a chance to work with my friend and fellow photographer David Berman from Social Network again. It's always a pleasure to work with him, we make a great team!
We also shot for Ms Castro Rides again as well as Made Now Magazine. You can see some of our work on their website as well as their instagram.
Here are a few photos from the week. (more on the way soon!)

I got an opportunity to shoot Aaron Carter for the Film Noir issue of Uptempo Magazine. Here are the photos:
One of my favorite shows at fashion week last month was Carolina Herrera. The Collection was stunning; so elegant and classy, including the music (I recorded a bit of it on my phone so I wouldn’t forget it) You can hear it here: http://youtu.be/RdbDBZ7lsjA. it is “A whimsical riff on Beethoven’s Kreutzer Sonata by Tom Hodge” I wish I could own every piece that came down that runway. After the show was over I was very lucky to go back stage and meet her. Here are some photos from the show:
Here’s a post from a website from India called Explosive Fashion.
Please read the article they posted about me and one of my shoots with a wonderful model, Anjhula Mya Singh Bais and fabulous hair & makeup artist Amanda Sela
