However, a teen-inspired fashion story I recently worked on is now out and ready to share.

TeenMag.com will continue as will TeenPROM but the monthly print magazine shall be no more.

Anyone who has visited my site knows that I’ve worked with Teen regularly over the last couple of years. They were the first magazine to give me a shot at doing beauty editorials, actually. Editor in Chief Jane Fort has been a great friend and mentor to me in the biz and I sincerely hope that I get to work with her again. She’s a hoot!

Viva Teen Magazine!

(on a related note, Domino Magazine is apparently gone as well. :( As a magazine lover, I hope publishing realizes that onine this or that is no substitute for a PRINT magazine! Save Print Magazines!)

I hope this finds you after having had a fabulous Holiday break with your loved ones. I had fantastic Holidays, although I can’t really say I had a break as I worked pretty much the whole time. Always a good thing!

During that time, two projects I’d had the pleasure of working on hit the streets (click on images to see larger);

grooming by Tania D. Russell

This past August or so I worked on a Calendar shoot for the Men’s division of Ford Models West. Picture a screaming hot day in the remote desert, shooting at an abandoned motel, gas station and cafe – complete with a functional pool – that’s now used solely as a filming location. The location manager lives there in an air conditioned trailer with his two dogs and good thing too – I got mild heat exhaustion and I needed to sit in his air conditioned trailer to resuscitate myself. So there I was in the middle of nowhere watching Medical Mysteries while the location manager told me stories of him hanging out with Keith Richards. Awesome! Once revived, I went back out and worked on a bevy of gorgeous male models. Ah, the sacrifices one must make for one’s career… ;)

Further solidifying my status in the Teen Scene – I worked on a catalogue shoot for Pottery Barn Teen a bit ago and that catalogue has now hit the stores. It was nice to see this time my work wasn’t preempted by a Christmas Tree. HaHa!  It was a fun shoot, I always enjoy the teen stuff and working with the folks at Pottery Barn was a good time. Also, Big Thanks to my assistant, Elizabeth Hart for her work on the shoot as well. Thanks, girl! :)

Until next time…

HOWEVER there was another issue lurking in the background that you haven’t known about and that is it was time for me to change my representation. I am greatly indebted to my first rep for being the one to take that first chance on me. I’ve learned a lot about the ‘biz and about myself.

With that, I am proud to announce that I am now represented by Ford Artists out of their San Francisco office. As many of you know, I work between SF and LA so this will allow me to more fully be of service to my clients in both cities. HOORAY!

In short, 2008 should be a Rockin’ year and I hope you’re all there to share it with me. Tell your friends too! It’s gonna be quite the hootenanny!

So what work have I been doing? Well, despite all the drama, quite a bit actually;

* I’ve shot editorials for Renew, Vision and Real Groove magazines.

* Mucho local commercials and corporate industrials.

* More delicious beauty editorials from Teen. Here’s the latest that was actually a story focusing on hair rather than makeup. Images © N. Horne; Hair was done by the outrageously talented Eric Sebbag of the Cloutier Agency;

Happy Holidays to all and Best Wishes for a Prosperous New Year!
