Coming soon - Lady in a hat

Hello all!

Im so excited on putting up the next production. After a year of not using studio, shooting in one was quite a challenge. I am a sucker for natural light, I admit,but the result was amazing. This time, im using Photoshop wizard's, photoshop professional's to edit my images, due to lack of free time. Im quite excited. Now i know what the rest of my team feels :)

Models: Alba Forcada with M&P Models
Megan Galt with M&P Models

MUA and hair: Maya
Styling and Designer: Sabrina Samsoodin
Studio manager: Emma Corck

Special thanks to Emma Corck for the studio and the attention!

Winter feeling

So i had been planing this shoot for ages and Im so happy with it. Worked with new people as well. My adorable model Isabel Clark (Confidence Model Management), Mia as stylist assisted by Bella, hair by Takanori Yamagushi and lovely Maya as MUA. Was winter inspired: Fur and earthly tones. I always end up doing something else in my shoots besides the main theme, and in this case, one of Mia's dresses was part of the session. Black and blue stripes mixed with fur. Looked amazing!

Had a complication with card/mac/camera in the end, a bit of a chaos but thanks to my good friend Ian's help, all was recovered.


Thank you everyone for you contribution and a special thanks the Dulwich Wood House in Sydenham Hill for their great support!

Hope you like it

Charity Shoot

So I did a charity shoot last weekend. It was in honor of the children of Pakistan that suffered with the flood and are currently helpless.
I must say, Arab woman are fascinating people. These woman have strength, focus and are undeniably gorgeous. The woman that organized it all, Yasmina, amazed me with what she managed to achieved, at only 21 years of age. I cant get into much detail, but basically, there was a fashion show, in which the were professional designers and their collections: Haute Monde, Abaya Collection,Sumi Collections and Morrocan Kaftan Designer Miriam. I never realized how much you can do with Arab design. All very detailed, shinny, pretty and mainly covered! I am actually speachless: married very young, respect their religion above all, but had the possibility, courage and creativity to more than just a wife! For me, I must confess, I was amazed with their constant sense of humor and "bubblyness".

Models were: Mariya Danina,Samar Khoury, Mandavi, Helen, Chantelle, Samar Khoury, Ywenda and Uruj

MUA's: Maya, Samia Al Harthy and Alina

Love the experience, will be doing it again whenever I get the chance!

Thank you to Yasmina for the experience!

Georgina

Hello Folks,

well had a very tough week last week, though I wouldn't be able to be 100% to shoot on Wednesday, but I guess emotions come out in many ways. Take for example, this last shoot I did, weather was crap, as in, no raining, not sunny, grey, no light .. London weather basically. Maya, the MUA made magic. She managed to bring the sunlight in my pictures and Georgina, the model, made the magic happen. Very shy in the beginning, but slowly managed to bring out great expressions and made my day a better day. Maya, let me tell you, a very good helper. Sometimes its hard to be shooting and telling new models what to do, which Im fine with doing, but sometimes its hard to do both. Maya just stepped in and made Georgina feel comfortable, and guide her in a really good way! The results were amazing in my point of view. You never know how the shoot is going to end up, how the model is going to be, or even if the weather is going to change. Just rely on good people, a good team, positive people, there's nothing better!

A wedding

So, this weekend, I was "plussed 1"by my friend Brown to his brother Steve's wedding. We drove to Kent and the air was so much fresher than London ( although I AM a sucker for the pollution here :P). Anyway, I met his family who was simply the coolest family ever. Baby Lauren, was in fact the most intelligent 2 year old I had ever met. Decided to take loads of portraits of her and am really happy with them. Also, Steven and Jane's wedding, managed to squeeze in between the guests and got some really nice shots!

Put a couple on my website and of Lauren as well! Although I do work in a portrait studio, I had forgotten what it was like to take pictures of babies!

Anyway, here's Lauren :)

Publishing - Magnetica

Well, here it is :) I went through the 1st and 3rd winning stylist's photographer (was the same photographer) Ricardo Gomes and hes pretty amazing! Im actually honored to be in the same page. Preparing a couple of new shoots..Need to focus!!! Although it's a styling contest, image does matter.

One next step for me :D

Amanda

Another great surprise. Amanda showed up a bit nervous and we know what that normally means. Very bubbly and positive and a hell of a great listener!! Amanda, that laughed when Viola Bea, the MUA put lipstick on her because she was ticklish on the mouth, amazed me when she started doing her "thing". Amazing personality and wanted to get the pictures right which I loved. Also , I had a little crises with what I wanted in shot and she was very patient and enthusiastic. With all that positivity, I managed to get the shot!!

Anyone looking for a new model, Amanda is definitely one of my suggestions! Once again, thank you Confidence Models for the amazing last minute model, and obviously Viola for the AMAZING work!

Hurray for us!
