Portraiture: Alexis (Fashionista)

PORTRAITURE

From the beginning of our collaboration I definitely wanted to highlight Alexis' long legs. I think they look great and the white backdrop and low angle really accentuate them. There were loads of photos from this set but this is one of my favorites. :)

Portrait: Alexis Diaz

PORTRAITURE

Alexis and I worked in community theater going way back when we were kids.  So it was great as adults to work on this fashion photo shoot together.

While shopping for outfits for the shoot, we saw this bodysuit that definitely contoured Alexis' physique.  At the studio the hat was added, and then it was a wrap.

Peep it!

Portrait: Jazmine In The Zone

PORTRAITURE

Jazmine loves music. So every once in a while I would deliberately switch up the music I was playing knowing that she was not ready for that new song. The passion and excitement to that new song showed up on her face every time.

In this portrait Jazmine is in a zone with the music. I had the privilege to catch her vibin' in the zone.

Portrait: Fashion Diva Jazmine

Even though Jazmine had no formal experience as a model, she was great during this photo shoot.

A natural beauty, Jazmine looks amazing in this fashion portrait. Classy, sexy, and full of confidence. This is the urban latina experience.

Portrait: Jenny Suspenders

PORTRAITURE

During this part of the photo shoot with Jenny we went into the studio and used the pink backdrop.

FYI - Not everyone can make pink suspenders look chic, sexy, and classy all at the same time. Jenny definitely worked it in this photo. It is like she belongs in a magazine.

What do you think?

Portrait: Jedi Up Close & Personal

PORTRAITURE

I just started implementing a new technique in my post-processing for skin retouching. It takes longer but I find the results are much better. This is especially important since I love intimate portraits.

Speaking of intimate, I have another great image of the gorgeous Miss Jenny. With this photo I decided to focus solely on her face blurring everything else out with the lens at f1.8. I find it give this photo an urban classy chic look.

Fashion Portrait: Jedi Master

PORTRAITURE

I had this crazy idea to work on some magazine concepts. Joining me on this expedition this weekend was Miss Jenny (aka Jedi). She collaborated with me on the building of the concept and provided a lovely wardrobe from which to work.

Inspired by a fashion photographer from Spain, I decided to mostly use my 50mm 1.8 lens for this shoot. I truly had a great time on this adventure.

Here is a preview of one of those concepts. I was looking for a more high-end fashion look here.

Enjoy,
