Giving fine art vibes with this one.

Moody tones, fierce gaze — this is how you command attention.

Less is more when you know how to work one light and a reflector. 🔥

The professionals don’t talk about it enough. So I will!

As a photographer and as an educator I still mess up. ALOT! I know my fundamentals, I know my camera and my gear, but sometimes we can fall into a funk. Sometimes we have off shoots.

I don’t have many of those, especially with clients. Clients always get the best I can offer. However, one day I was working with China and we were building content for a course and my strobes umbrella holder broke. It wouldn’t stay put and I was in a terrible mood.

So instead of using these photos for the course, I decided to just be creative and edit freely. This is the outcome!

One to a movie poster.
The other to an entirely different vibe.

I don’t know about you, but I’m beginning to feel I was destined for more.

🖤🔥 This Cruella DeVille edit was all about attitude and edge.

Massive shoutout to for nailing her custom design work. When luxury meets chaos, you get this. 😈🎯

Erica was an amazing model for this look!

My wife don’t even model seriously!

But I tell you this. When she gets in front of the camera to shoot with me it’s natural.

My beauty muse is stunning!

From personal projects to recently with Iconic Hair Care!
