Cosmic Models

I recently had a meeting at Cosmic Models in London. I am now one of their oficial test photographers which is a treat. They have a full database of MUA's Stylists and Hairstylists (BONUS). I now have 2 test shoots next week, its going to be awesome and crazy!

Also wanted to share this beauty portrait of Carolina Leite that God knows why I didnt publish it before. Its stunning (In my opinion).

Have a nice day and I'll keep updated!

Next stop - COLORS

So, Iv got this session booked for the 2nd of feb. SUPER excited about it. Got 2 amazing girls (models). Close up's, very colorful. A MUA called Samia contacted me for this shoot. She had no concept , no idea but wanted to work with me. She does a completely different style of makeup, Arab makeup, which means big, bright, in your face! I was flattered. Have worked with her before and thought this would be a challenge. I then opened up my "inspirations" file and prioritized beauty portraits (as always) and thought: How can I mix beauty , which is quite plane and simple with fresh bright make up?...

After a week, I came up with this:

Its a mix of the last Miu Miu campaign with MAC beauty shots (colors colors colors!!!). Agency sent me a lovely blond girl called Maria. On that same day, this beautiful swedish model called Elaine sent me an e-mail wanting to cooperate. She was stunning and I immediately said yes. The two of them have completely different looks and I'm so looking fwd to this. I think this will be the cherry on top of my cake, in other words, the perfect ending to the new beginning that is my new portfolio!Hehe

I will obviously post one of the images as soon as edited and hope to have good critique (or bad, they're the ones that make you grow).

See you soon!

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 :)

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!
