Lyrica Pharmaceutical

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:41:18 +0000

I was flipping through an issue of Real Simple magazine lately, and noticed that the Lyrica ads I shot last year are now running. It may not look like it, but I actually did makeup, body makeup and hair for these. It’s always fun to work on a project that’s a bit different… (click to view full size)

Happy New Year - Work in Action pt 1

admin — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 08:29:18 +0000

Hello hello, long time no write. It’s not been for lack things to write about, trust me, but I’m in good ole “Waiting for Pictures” mode. I worked straight through the holidays and will have a lot of groovy stuff to share in the coming months.

In the meantime, something I shot clear at the end of 2008 for designer Susana Mercedes is now in use on the designers’ website. I worked as a pinch-hit replacement for a last minute shoot and look at those results! Great team, and I had a great time. There are several different shoots on the site, but I had the pleasure of working on the shoot from which all of the opening shots are taken

Also on the exciting tip is I am now proudly represented by Ennis, Inc.. Ennis has been in the industry for quite some time with offices in New York, Boston and Los Angeles and servicing clients around the Globe. I’m very proud and happy to be included amongst such a talented roster and very excited for the coming new year.

Here’s to a Happy and Prosperous New Year for everyone!

Haven’t been able to post to much because I’ve been waiting for images, etc. These are from a recent portraiture session with one of my favorite photographers. I had the pleasure of working with actress Elise Neal right before the Daytime Emmy awards.

Apartments.com to the Rescue!

This is one shot from a fun shoot I did a while ago for the service Apartment.com . These ads are geared towards property owners/trade magazines, so you won’t see them in your local mags…

Designing Ladies 2

admin — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 07:43:14 +0000

The third of the three designers whose advertising campaigns I recently worked on is now out. Like Duh is a very cute t-shirt line started by teen model and designer Rebekah A. She’s already got herself a celebrity following (see on her site) and is apparently on route to stores soon!

Then I recently did work for the store and online catalog for E.K. Clothing which offers specialty clothing for dancers, and in particular the latin american/salsa dance crowd. Visit e.k. clothing to see more of our shots (note I only did the shots with the fabulous Kirby, who is the african american model on the site). E. K. Clothing is only a couple of years old and has already had to move into larger digs for their brick-and-mortar store so sounds like this young designer/owner is on her way up as well.

Designing Ladies

admin — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 00:36:47 +0000

Been working on advertising for some local designers. It’s so exciting to see great fashion originating here in Los Angeles, and both lines are owned and designed by women.

The first shoot is for the vintage/antique clothing store Parker Petit (located in Venice, CA).

and the second is for the “post-modern” (in desperate need of a new term, here) line Popomomo

Can’t quite show the clothes on Popomomo just yet as the ads have yet to come out. Even with the close-ups, however, you can see the two designers couldn’t be more different from one another which is the joy of working on these kinds of projects. I get to try out all types of newfangled ideas and tricks! Makeup and hair by moi on both.

Actually, I have a 3rd designer I did some work for that I’ll post when I get the All Clear. Also a female designer. Sistas are doin’ it for themselves…
