Great Mix

Her name is Jasmine Ariel (first and middle name), believe it or not ....and she's German, French Canadian Indian, Brazilian, and African American.

Suanny

Suanny came back for a third shoot. We work really well together and make a great team. At this point, she seems to know my opinion about something before I can even say it!

FACEbook

The many faces of Jessie Camacho....

Ice cold?

I added the full shot, and gave it a little more of a "cold" feel.
This was the make up artists' idea, and I thought it'd be nice to do something a little different.

Galardon Magazine

I recently had one of my photos featured on the cover of Galardon Magazine. The model was once again, Jessie Camacho. She has really helped me get my work out there, and I'm very appreciative. And as you all know, I'm a big supporter of the Hispanic community.

The Art of Disney Princess Book

The Art of Disney Princess Book finally came out! It only took a year! I was honored to be a part of this with my fellow character artists and designers. For those of you not familiar with the book, every artist was allowed to do their own version or "interpretation" of Disney princess in any medium. I chose photography. Go pick up a copy today!

Whitney!

Heyyy, what's going on with the blogs?? Are people slowing down? I hope not. Don't see a lot of posts out there lately.
Anyway, here's Whitney.....she really brought the energy and had a terrific smile. I'm sure we'll be working together again soon.
On a different note, I just packed up my studio (also known as my master bedroom), because I'll be moving on Saturday to a bigger (and hopefully better) place with fresh new shooting opportunities. I'm looking forward to it. I may not post for a couple weeks until I finish the transition. But when I DO finally get settled, the blog posts will be a-flyin' once again!

Bullets 4 Peace

This shot was done for a campaign called "Bullets 4 Peace", an organization that takes used bullet casings, which are meant to be reused in streets and battlefields, and turns them into beautiful jewelry pieces that promote peace and compassion. Proceeds from sales help support various charitable organizations. For more info, please check out www.bullets4peace.com.
This shot was featured in the latest issue of La Costa Magazine.

Magazine Cover!

I recently shot the cover for "Latin Star" magazine, which was very exciting. There was a small entourage over here at my place during this shoot, but we had a lot of fun. As you all know, I'm a big supporter of the Latin community.....como siempre! A special thanks to Jessie Camacho, one of my "All Star" models. We have shot together 4 times now, and we always get great stuff.

Bubble Gum

Sheila has a very animated look AND personality.

Brandy

Brandy really knew how to pose and did it well. I told her she could teach classes on "How to Pose" to the other models.

Pocahontas

This is a shoot I've wanted to do for a long long time. Pocahontas is the first project I worked on when I started at Disney in 1994. So it always reminds me of that time in my life and how inspired I was at that young age.
This is the third princess shoot I've done, and the goal for me is always the same.....to make the character from the animated film come to life. I think to myself, "If this character was a living, breathing person, what would she look like?" And I try to make that happen to the best of my limited abilities.
The model's name is Sherri, and I felt she had the right hair, skin tone, facial structure, eyes, lips and physique to make this character come to life. I had the costume made, it is a one of a kind. And luckily, it fit Sherri perfectly. She was very excited to become Pocahontas, and I thought she did a great job. I worked hard on this, and I'm pleased with the results.
Again this is MY vision of this particular Disney Princess.....it may differ from yours.

Chris

For the ladies....

Descontrol

Here's Jessie standing next to one of my shots of her that ended up being used to promote the television show, "Descontrol", which she hosts.

"BEAUTY-Ful"

Here's a "beauty" shot I did recently of Jessie for a magazine.

Christina's back

Here's another pic from one of my many shoots with Christina.

The return of Vanessa

There are good models, and there are great models, Vanessa is the latter.
Vanessa came back a week later for another shoot, and I'm very glad she did. We got some great stuff once again! Her dark skin and light green eyes makes her very striking.

Versatile

This is Suanny, you may remember her from the roller skate shots. Well, she came back for another shoot. We seem to work very well together and were able to get several different looks on the same day.

Wait...a GUY?!

I know this will be a disappointment to a lot of the people who follow my blog, but once in a while I have to shoot a GUY. I gotta show my versatility, right? Anyway, this is Sam, and he did a great job....a real pro.

Published....in español!

I recently had one of my photos featured in a Latin lifestyle magazine called, "La Costa." They even gave me credit and spelled my name right. The shot was of my friend, Jessie Camacho, who I've photographed several times. She's the host of the TV show, "Descontrol" on the Spanish television network, Telemundo. And as you all know, I'm a big supporter of the Hispanic community.
