Really liked this dress that Tierra brought to our recent shoot.

More Felisha

More Michelle

Michelle

Here's another shot of Michelle from our latest shoot. Michelle is one of the most professional people I've ever worked with. We've shot together at least 6 times....I've lost track.

Art/Photography combo

I've been wanting to combine some of my photos with some simple paint textures for a while. Stephane gave me this watercolor background that he did and I merged it with one of my photos. I like the result. If anyone has any cool simple paint textures that I could apply to a photo, I'd love to have them. Thanks.

Felisha

I see a bright future for this model. FYI:This shot was taken in my backyard in front of a "faux wall" that my cousin Jimmy built. He's a lot "handier" than I am.

Princess Mania

Here's another Russian webpage about the princesses.

This is what I got from Google translate....doesn't translate perfectly, but I think you'll get the gist of it:
"The master of erotic glamor, Los Angeles photographer and artist Ryan Astamendi (Ryan Astamendi) visualized the famous beauties of the Disney cartoon - like pictures of girls in costumes and makeup. It was very similar, however, the mere mortals may develop an inferiority complex - yet somehow it seemed that a woman living vsamdelishnye so magically beautiful can not be."

Anna

Bekka

Bekka is a fantastic model. She really knows how to move and pose in front of the camera with confidence. She needs no direction, she just goes.
You can see her in my previous post below as well.

Photo workshop

I took a photography workshop this weekend. I shot over 4,000 photos. Always good to get advice and tips from the experts out there so I can learn and grow.

Jessica

Jessica has a beautiful profile.

Behind the scenes

Here's a "behind the scenes" shot from today's shoot taken by friend and assistant, Leoné.
