Retouch work

The art of retouching…. I absolutely love retouching

hypnotize

Kakureta Houseki (hidden gem) - ode to those women who are beautiful inside and out and dont know it, because they were never told. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

capture the emotion

Abbie Toluds makeup skills and my Photography/Retouching skills always seem to create things that are magical *evil laugh*

The “10 second photoshoot” - most times you’ll find me in the downtown area of NYC.. camera in hand.. dont be surprised if I stop and ask you for a quick photo op ;-)

Theres nothing more rewarding than capturing unique moments… especially being chosen as the photographer to capture them.. This maternity shoot was of a friend of mine Maureen taken on the beach in 95 degree sun..

Gimme bone structure, gimme contrast, gimme vibrant eyes… gimme gimme gimme lol… these are a couple images that I’ve taken of the model Angela… awesome model to work with!

It has been said that you can’t just take a photograph, you should capture it so that it tells a story… This piece is of model Arianna and I call it undeserved heartache..  The lighting used was hard lighting with a mixture of soft lighting for her skin.. with her huge bright eyes, we were able to capture a glistening to show hurt.. love this image

This piece was for a Mini Marc Jacobs ad, taken in NYC on a humid summer day.. some of the best images get captured when you least expect it.. this was one of them.. 

Had a chance to do a shoot on the fly with an amazing model, Rakiya Story, her strong beautiful features had to be captured.. I decided to create a dramatic piece with negative space.. 

This is an amazing project which actually made my eyebrows stay raised, a full minute after

Creating visual art is both challenging and rewarding, to create a piece that isnt common and evokes emotion… “oppression cannot restrain beauty”
