H E A D S H O T S : angela

dear world,

meet, the one, the only queeni.. uh, angela. one of my FAVE AU DPA-ers.

jumpin for joy!

give me an emotion?

wait, litch?

serious.

smiles.

now on a techincal note, you see how you can see angela's collar bone? why is that important... in my eyes, you can ( or at least i can haha) get a pretty good idea of what a girls weight/build/etc. is by a photograph this close up, if you can still see definition in the neck line/shoulders. Angela, of course, has a gorgeous body, so I think it's important that a headshot suggests that.

Angela is a CRAZY talented singer, you can catch her out starring in AU shows, or singing in her A Capella Group, Treble in Paradise.

it was very hard for angela to stay serious... not as she re-enacts chorepgraphy from when she was Queenie in AU's Wild Party!

lol. i loveee her.

H E A D S H O T S : elise

dear world,

this girl is hot like mexico, rejoice ( -lady gaga)

meet... elise.

she's from LA, so you already know she's my kind of girl...

on top of that, her eyes are friggen stunning. and I DONT use the word friggen loosely, look at em. or here, look at em again...

these were mainly to get a variety from her other headshots which had a big difference in make up, and her hair was worn naturally, with a curl to it.

I will SERIOUSLY miss this face, she is my financial body guard ;)

H E A D S H O T S : caleen

Dear world,

You know that wise woman who feels like a mother to the whole world? you probably know Caleen Jennings. Playwright . Teacher . mother . actress . musician . director . overall life guru .

My freshman year of college I photographed a play that Caleen had written called " Elsewhere in Elseanore " . a photo i took made it onto the cover of the published script.

when she asked me to take her headshot for the inside of another book/collection that was being published, I thought how cool! a tiny little hope picture will be inside hundreds of books!

if you ever have the chance to work with her. Learn from her . Speak with her . Do it.

M U S I C P RO M O S H O O T : phillip noss

Dear World,

I will never stop appreciating the fact that I graduated from the Duke Ellington School of the Arts. Of course, the education was great, but the people are what make it.

I give you Phillip Noss, he graduated the year after me as an instrumentalist. Phillip is an incredible guitarist, songwriter, and singer.

Keep a look out for Phillip on tour . Google him . Myspace him. Facebook him .

When Phillip asked me to photogrpah him, I was thrilled, I love the way that my photos blend in with his overall promotional style.
