Draya Michelle Fall Editorial

Recently I worked with Draya Michelle, designer of Mint Swim to create some new public relations images. We shot a few headshots for her acting, which is taking off. We also shot some images that were requested specifically for People Magazines style section.My Cousin Chase Deville was in town so I had him come to the shoot to assist me. Most of the images were shot with wonderful natural light that was available in her and Orlando Scandrick's house in the hills, all other lighting was crafted with Profoto lighting. I had a great time working with the team to create some great fall looks and a few timeless looks for Mint Swim.

Tanaya Henry for FineAssGirls by Draya Michelle

Recently I was commissioned to create some stylized product shots for new additions to Designer and reality star Draya Michelle's Online store FineAssGirls. The model she selected is one of my favorites to work with Tanaya Henry. We spent the day in West hollywood and at Santa Monica Beach creating images that fit the "paparazzi" aesthetic we were asked to create.
