J Mendel Backstage & Runway Show

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.


Fernando Garcia

The other day I was asked to shoot a young artist for a new headshot. He is a painter, you can check out some of his work on his Instagram page

 


The Knot's Couture Bridal Fashion Week New York City

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.

Reem Acra's Runway Show at New York Fashion Week

I am still going through all of my photos from fashion week, but as I was editing I realized Reem Acra's show was one of my favorites. There was so much attention to detail and amazing bead work. I wanted to share some of her beautiful pieces.

Claire

Had a wonderful shoot with Claire. We walked around the high-line; it was a hot, but beautiful day! Claire is the president of Beatrix NY, which is a children's accessory company & is a breast cancer survivor!  Take a look at her website: http://www.beatrixny.com.  We had such a great shoot!

Studio Photography Class Part 2

A few days ago I taught my first solo class. (You can sign up on skillshare!) It was a lot of fun and there were a number of students who came.  I hope they enjoyed the class as much as I did teaching it. I went over topics like: Having your photo studio at home, Studio lighting in small spaces, and even had some extra time to discuss a bit about the business of photography.

Oh, did I forget to mention we had the beautiful model, Alicia Henry, helping us out with the lighting demos. Here are a few shots of Alicia from class. Can you guess the lighting?
