“face in the light captivates……promoting beauty, renewal.”
words by my good friend Ms. Tuggle
More words to come.

Days from his father’s retirement, he decides to step in and take over the reigns of the family business. A decision he had to make, but at a cost.
The streets of 33016 won’t know what hit them.

Entering the world of the strobist with my new speedlite. I set up and tested the external flash with the wireless flash trigger that came in, and was hiding in the mailbox since Saturday. Pulled out the tripod and gave it a test run.
More to come soon.

Great day at Haulover Beach.

Once in a while, I get that perfect picture that just needs more than LR to make say it something. So I opened up Photoshop, a few tweaks and a cool overlay I got this. Shout out to my homeboy Sematawi Kagemni for letting me work on his picture.

2nd part of the session with Ms. Erica R. and a quick wardrobe change. I liked that the mini warehouse had a even bigger gate on the other side of the building, so we moved over a bit and continued the fun there. The sun and the wind played just right.
Thank you Mother Nature.

Linked up with Ms. Erica R. for a quick photo session. We met up at this little park with a small warehouse that have I’ve been eye’ng for awhile now. I was liking the way the horizontal lines from the white gate looked so we set up there for this part. Fantastic Miami weather. More to come from this session soon.

Part 2 of the Ms. Marcela session. Still in Haulover but chose a different section of the area and made it work. There was a white wall with some coral rock that caught my eye, so I set up there for these close ups. Light wind and great weather.

Another set from a multi-wardrobe session that was shot at that Wynwood Art wall last year. Was digging that hand piece he incorporated in the shoot. He even brought his own stylist. Very professional guy. He was nervous at first, but after a few shots and a some light coaching, we got the ball rolling smoothly.
More to come from this set soon.

Summertime 2010 fun with Ms. Danay. This set is the 2nd wardrobe change of the day. Shot at South Beach Park on a weekday, so we sort of had this area of the park to ourselves. Make up and styling by Ms. Diaz.

Shots from a session I had with the lovely Ms. Marcela last summer. These shots were taken on a beautiful and sunny day at Haulover Beach. This location is pretty cool and is also one of my favorite spots to shoot models. I think the backdrop of the ocean always gets me.
Oh, this is part one of a 4 stage wardrobe session so stay tuned guys.

As everyone was rushing, getting ready for the Indiana Ceballos wedding, I noticed two of my S. Florida young people looking “so fresh and so clean” and ready to party. So I snatched Stefany and Alex and decided to get some pictures of them outside before the mayhem started and I had to get into my “serious focus” mode.
A couple of minutes into it, I started regretting to idea. Man, it was cold. So cold, I think my some of my creative juices started freezing over.
In these shots, I definitely wanted to work some of the Indiana houses and its elements as a backdrop to go against some of the flavor, smiles and styles that my two friends brought. After 10 minutes, we ran back inside. Juices thawing out.

Continuing the week with projects with MUA Melissa, I got to see Ms. Danay again. Packed with a bag full of clothes for multiple changes and looks, we got to work. Ended the session with a warm dip in the water at South Beach.

I finally convinced Ms. King for quick photo session. I already had a set up out back I wanted to try out and she fit perfect for this. Took this mid-day, so the sun was just right for this session. Didn’t take too long before I quickly snapped up 3 or 4 gems. We were definitely happy with the end results. About to get some printed for the collection.

What started out as a cloudy day in my part of town, ended up being a sunny and gorgeous drive to South Pointe Park for this set. This session was a special treat because it was with a good friend who I haven’t seen since she was 18. Had a great time catching up and getting some great shots.
Check out the rest from this session at my Shutterfly Site.

My good friend Obiy aka Cifa Skrpx came thru to shoot the breeze. We started to talk about how blessed we were in the ’09 and about the projects we had lined up for the 2010. Took a break to shoot some pix and try out some B/W edits.

On this shoot, I met up with MUA Melissa and Ms. Danay at Amelia Earhart Park. It was a 2 hour multi wardrobe shoot. Perfect morning for it too, not a cloud in the sky. The park was kinda empty still, so we didn’t get too many stares or distractions.
It was a great shoot and Ms. Danay was very happy with the end results.
