Nudes on the Mountain - NSFW

December 30, 2017 in Outdoors, On Location

I'm all about getting a little dirty. On this adventure, myself Velvet Lanae and Elliott James, (fellow photographers) when to Arabia Mount outside of Atlanta and created some absolutely beautiful artistic nude shots with Model Deyanna. Just the night before we were all apart of an art show, selling our work together, but decided to get out and create new work together. Especially since Elliott was visiting from Mississippi.

Our model has only been at this modeling thing less than 6 months but make it look as though she started years ago. Velvet had worked with her prior to this session but neither Elliott or myself had. We all shoot different styles at time but we came together to assist and collaborate with each other. This was my first time visiting Arabia Mountain, but I wish I had gone earlier. We only spent about 2 hours out here, which is a fair amount of time to shoot, but not to explore all there is to see. I will be going back pretty soon. I have some BTS images below. I will share some of my captures soon.

From the Tree Line

November 15, 2014 in Outdoors, Shooting

Jeans and a t-shirt is one of my favorite attires to see a lady in. It's one of the most basic outfits you can wear and still look fly as hell. If your into high-fashion, then jeans and a t-shirt can make a great base to start with, and if your into staying low key, it works well as a finishing line too. Most modeling agencies also photograph their models in this same attire, with little to no make-up so the client knows what to expect before a model even walks through the door.

Ms. Hudson graced me with her presents within the tree line, days before she left Atlanta, GA to finish school in Miami, FL. Fortunately we were able to work together and accomplish some beautiful work, this imagery spread being one of them. Hurry back Ms. Hudson!

Published images in Flawless Magazine

September 29, 2014 in Outdoors, Published, Shooting, Assistant

WOW! My work was recently published in Flawless Magazine which is an International Fashion magazine known for their high-end fashion spreads and amazing beauty photography. It's such an honor to be published along side these great photographers and models. This isn't my first publication with model Katherine Del Rosario and I don't believe it will be our last. With a wide assortment of eclectic imagery, we stand a chance for even more spread such as this one! I love conquering new territory, and continuing to elevate as I do so. I had a great team with me on the day we shot this spread and their hard work paid off. Great job all.

Book Smart

December 09, 2013 in Outdoors, Shooting, Book

The process isn't short, but it's so worth it. I love photo shoots from beginning to end. Well that just it, just because I have placed the camera down doesn't mean I'm done. There is so much more work that goes on behind the scenes, and post production work that need to happen. For this shoot in particular there were so many moving parts and people involved. Those people involved helped to make the final product of this book beautiful and a success.

Jesselah - The book, my first of more to come. Get one for yourself. Digital or Hardcover available.

Hard Cover Book

Choo Choo Trains....as promised!

November 02, 2013 in Shooting, Outdoors, Film, Mamiya RZ67

A couple weeks ago I said I would post the images of the trains I shot with my Mamiya RZ67 so here they are. I was very pleased with the quality of the images that the camera helped to produce. I shot in B&W film and I love the final results. I'm thinking the majority of my film images will be in B&W, but time will tell.

Field of Dreams

October 22, 2013 in Outdoors

Or lack there of.........Although I am a huge fan of fashion, glamor, and beauty photography, I believe you have to step outside your comfort zone and try new things then bring back what you have learned to your normal arena. While visiting South Carolina I did just that. It was not about pretty smiles, fancy heals, or blingy things from head to toe. I took a look at an open field and decided to make it my playground (while praying not to get shot on some guys property.) I got Nicole to be my victim for a bit and proceeded to the open field. It was pretty fun considering shes never had a photo shoot before, let alone forced to shoot barefoot, in an all black dress and in an open field crawling with natures finest.

Alone time...

October 12, 2013 in Outdoors

Phone (check), Headphones (check), Phone (check again), Camera (hmmmmm which one James? Mamiya. Which Mamiya James? "The newer one", check) Location....(I will figure it out). Sometime you just gotta go exploring....yeah I will go with that....exploring. Like I use to tell my mother. I guess not much has changed in that area, but that's what I did. With no destination in mind I went a small journey to capture some imagery on medium film. With my perplexing case of ADHD, I wanted to give myself a challenge....CALM the hell down for at least for an hour.

With headphones on and Spotify rocking in my pocket, I hopped out at a train yard and got to it. I briefly looked at the trains and tracks then proceeded to snap away at these massive vehicles which have been around for more then 200 years. Good things seem to last, I hope to fall into that category.

I will the show the images after they are developed, but for now here is a taste.
