PUBLISHING - Fashion & Beauty - SHOOTS
A good fashion or beauty shoot begins with a incredible idea and a great team! I always develop a solid concept and then assemble the team around it that can grow it bigger than I would myself. Fashion and beauty shoots are a wonderful opportunity for each member of the right team to bring their best and marry it into one special story.
ESSENCE FASHION SHOOT
Shot in Key Largo, we stepped up to allow a lot more artistic liberty with color and overall image. We also stepped up to a much more lavish location being at a private home on the shore. All elements came together to create one of their more successful fashion shoots.

ESSENCE CELEB-FASHION SHOOT
One of my favorites, Danai Gurira (Walking Dead) mixed with industrial set design, my Tire Rocker and rocking clothing gave Essence magazine a smart step outside of the normal stuff while maintaining their audience expectations.

COLOR ACCESSORIES SHOOT
Working with Tom Corbett was always a lot of fun and when allowed challenged the visual. This very colorful accessories story was no exception. Working with him to find the ways to add yet not distract was great.

ESSENCE REAL WOMEN SHOOT
After pressing the idea over and over to Essence editors, finally there was the beginning of a "skin and feature" based story. This was both a contest and a celebration of the real black women who range in skin tones and features so widely. Finally a story to celebrate that.
BEAUTY SHOOT
What a fun way to highlight the colors we paint on our faces with makeup than to strip all the color out of everything that wasn't colored by makeup. We added the touch of color for the jewelry to increase the color play as well.

SEVENTEEN PROM FASHION SHOOT
