Well it has been way too long since my last blog post. I have been blessed with a lot of great shoots, so much so that the blog has taken a back seat. That being said, I decided to post my favorite shots from the past few months rather than each shoot individually. I'll try to keep up from here on out. So here they are:
I feel very privileged to have so many images and stories included in the current issue of Central Florida Bride Magazine, to include the cover. I worked with an amazing team of people during the shoot for the cover and fashion spread to include DSR Designs and Atmospheres, About Face, and, of course, Brandi from CFB.
My friend, Bernadette, graciously volunteered to model during a photography training session I held for a friend who was headed to Europe and wanted some last minute instruction before he ventured off with his camera to a foreign land. We got some pretty cool images in the process.
I had the privilege of photographing a fashion bridal spread at the beautiful Bella Collina for the next, upcoming issue of Central Florida Bride Magazine. Now I have been sworn to secrecy about not revealing any of the images until the issue comes out in July, but I have been given permission to share one on my blog. I had a great time with the team who made it all possible, including hair and make-up by About Face, flowers by DSR Designs and Atmospheres, and, of course, Brandi Zrallack from CFB, whom I give all credit for the "bathtub shot."
I recently photographed the very experienced model, Nate Moreno, who, with his family, has been featured numerous times in Disney commercial shoots throughout the years. It was a pleasure to help update his portfolio with images a little more edgy than Disney may care to have, but hey, he's not a kid anymore.
And now for something completely different... I am currently working on a series of images that incorporate fashion and portraits in unique environments. And on the top of that list is carnivals. Thank you to Irene Ferdinand for another great job on hair and make-up, Pixie (the beautiful and talented fashion model), and "Sad Clown," who will go un-named so we may continue to be friends. Also, a very special thank you to Strates Shows who allowed us to use their fairground area.
A good friend of mine, Colleen Trusler, needed some new images for her acting website, and I needed some new images for my site as well. So we set aside a day to work on both of our portfolios. Thanks to Irene Ferdinand for the wonderful job on hair and make-up.
So here's something I don't shoot everyday -- fashion...with a twist. This shoot was a combined effort of several wonderful people, including Debi Casullo, SHS Events (Clothing Design and Producer/Event Coordinator), Yolanda Winters, Que Pasa Productions (Make-up), and the models - Rick De Jesus, Anthony Bowden, Colleen Trusler, Heather (Pixie) Mellin, and Rachelle Badiau. The shoot location was at Casa, a very high-end and unique furniture store. To view a slides how of the shoot, click HERE.
