Today we did a really casual test. Hair and makeup, no wardrobe. Here are a few of the shots we came up with:

This is part of some new work I have been doing. Enjoy.

Here is a piece I shot and saved for myself. It was created during the making of an editorial I directed and shot earlier this month and will be be featured next month in an art/fashion/culture mag.

Birth of Beauty

This was my first studio shoot in 4 months. Before that, I hadn’t shot in the studio since I lived in Chicago. This is also the first time I shot editorial/personal work in about a month (I shot for a few clients in the last month but I really didn’t shoot much). Overall, I feel it is a success!

Photos by Irving Penn

Here are some of the photos that have really inspired me. It is hard because many of the great shots are still not online, but I’ve done my best with what is available.

Research for Shoot

I was asked to shoot an editorial by a fashion magazine and David Hamilton’s work came up in the pre-planning phase. I started doing more research on him and found this video. His work is controversial and often considered obscene in the US and UK. I’ll disagree with that assessment.

I shot this of Maddison from Australia today at a test in Central Park. More to come with more of the models coming soon…
