Model Off

A little less than a month later I was working with Symona again. Yet again she kills it. One this shoot I was able to have Dedan come out and give me a hand. The location she chose was a dope hidden gem that I have given past plenty of times and never even noticed. The them was sexy business that she came up with, among that space was were a set of chairs that gave us a dope concept. 

After these were finished, there were a few hit and miss that she did not like. She loved the chair shots and not so much the standing ones. She felt that there was something missing that did not make it pop the way it should. About a week went by and we rescheduled this time Izzy asked to join in with her. Just like that it was on and popping. The two ladies talked over ideas and decided to stay with the sexy business look and also a nature look.

As an added bonus, I tried my hand at levitation photography. It's not perfect! I see my mistakes and how to fix them for next time.

New Work

This summer I pushed myself to a new level in my photography with the help of my girlfriend Izzy. With her aspirations of wanting to be a model, she works just as hard as I do. This shoot consisted of traveling all over the Metro Detroit/Detroit areas that were pre-selected before hand so we can have a plan devised and not scrambling about with ideas.  As a photographer, I also have to be a stylist when putting together this type of shoots. Below are some of the favorites from our all day session.

For the first time in years I was able to finally able to with a model from Model Mayhem. I put up a portfolio building notice on the site and Symona was one of the first ones who responded and was able willing to actually work with me. Before the shoot, I met with Symona to connect with her and get ideas rolling. When I met her, she was very friendly and open to all possible ideas. There were a few hiccups before the initial shoot, but the day finally arrived there was almost another problem that canceled this shot.....rain. Just hours before the shoot this rain storm has sweep through the area and was on and off for that period. I held strong and told her to come out still. When she finally arrived we were ready to make magic, and magic it was. Again enough with the babbling and check out the work for yourself.

Future Collabos

I have shot plenty of people this year. Some I would like to work with more often. The first one is Toni. She is a tall runway model who loves to model.

**I do have more of Toni but I would have to look and re-edit them**

Next on the list is Oni, she brings a whole different type of flare when she does things. I really enjoy that when she models. 

Last on the list is Kyron. This brother is a chef but occasionally steps in as the male model for the group.
