An updated version of my self portrait called Steam Punk

I stopped by the modeling agency to drop off my updated portfolio. Christina happened to be there talking with the receptionist as I walked in. A few days later, she reached out to set up a shoot.

This was a test shot, but I ended up liking her expression.

It was a realy cold day. With Julia, we mostly made the shoot outdoor. The whole shoot's concept was a dramatic one. So, it was supposed to be here when we found a''warmer shelter''.

I participated in a 8 way cross promotion recently. Three photographers, two makeup artists, two models and a hair stylist got together to cross promote each others work. This is Cassidy.

Male portrait with chair. No furniture was harmed during session, the flames are added in post :)

Ellie and I shot her very first fashion shoot a few months ago. We instantly had a chemistry that came through in the images.

Alisha and I have been trying to connect since last Summer. Our schedules finally lined up recently. We shot a 3-look set. We shot one of her brands for our outdoor look. I hope you like it.

Taylor's agency recommended we get together for a test. I took the opportunity to play around with a staked key light pattern (one was the main the other was the fill). I think I like it.

Alison is a model, medical student and entrepreneur. She came over for a branding shoot recently. I think this image captures her brand... understated, elegant and confident.

Kayla wanted to fashion shoot during her Spring break. We planned a 3-look set one of which was denim. I was expecting "blue". I thought it was cool when she brought "white".

I've been wanting to use some spray atmosphere but never had the chance. When Allie reached out I thought this might be a good time to try it.

Logan dances for a local dance company. She came over for a shoot with a few wardrobe items. I had a few so we mixed and matched and came up with this look.

Sharing two recent portraits inspired by renaissance art and Elizabethan times. One with slightly more drama involved – both in terms of light and the story. Curious to know what you think.

from my Havana Chronicle. some "raw" street portraits. any critique/comments/advice will be welcomed, as always.

Sharing another recent renaissance-inspired portrait, this time armour included.

A recent new portrait, aka how to make the most of a cheap bag of cotton :)

I met Teresa at a recent fashion show. It was hard not to notice her given her long legs. We thought it'd be good to work together. I, of course, wanted to celebrate her legs.

Here goes another Renaissance-inspired project, included two from the set. Simple one-light set up slightly feathered.

I stopped into to visit a couple of the modeling agencies in Houston earlier this year. They thought it would be a good idea if Alison had a test shoot with me. I loved getting to know her.

I first photographed Emma in January on her university campus as I was passing through. She's back home for the Summer so we wanted to connect again. She had some Dior heels and I had some pearls.

I mentioned to Alyssa that I wanted to shoot in a location with natural light and concrete walls/floors (thinking a warehouse vibe). She said her apartment was like that!

I ran across Brinkley's profile and thought she was striking. She has very subtle features and the coolest hair I've seen in recent memory. I reached out and she agreed to shoot a 3-look set with.

Autumn drove in from East Texas to for a shoot. We hit it off really well since both our backgrounds are in STEM. We shot a 3-look set and this was just the warmup. She's got beauty and brains.

Kenzie was going to be in town and reached out for a shoot. Since I hadn't met her, when she arrived we took some time just to sit and get to know each other. Her story is an amazing one.

Shannon bought a new car and wanted to get some pics. We came up with a cool way to feature Shannon and her car. I hope you like it as much as we do.

When Brinkley and I were planning our shoot, she showed me a pic of this orange dress. She thought it was "too orange". I told here I thought it was "just the right amount or orange".
