The Team responsible in some of the hottest stuff!!

We got published (a lil late in posting) COUNCIL MAGAZINE

What happens when you take one sick ass designer - Andrew Nowell (http://www.andrewnowell.com/) plus a group of uber talented models, and a team that...well, YOU KNOW ROCKS!! You get this amazing photo shoot series, entitled- Gangland.

Beautiful Creature Photoshoot

The Team and I decided to tackle a fantasy shoot for our next collaboration. And for that, we enlisted the very accomplished Jese Gary as our model. Two things to note for this shoot: it was our first plus size model shoot, and it was a first fantasy shoot.....a big task to take on----I THINK NOT! Let me just tell you, Ms. Jese threw it down, stepped on it, and kicked out something FIEROCIOUS :) As a photographer, I certainly am excited when I am working with an accomplished model, who can take direction and embellish based on their years of experience. OH YEA...AND FOR YOU JUST NOW READING...make sure you comment. It's the little things in life that makes up happy being stalked.

Justify my love shoot

wooooooh!!! where have WE BEEN?? I must tell you family, when we started posting these images on this blog and other places on the web, we weren't aware of the overwhelming blessings we were going to receive for the work done! Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!... The team has been working tirelesly on a lot of assignments, weddings, engagement pictures, graphic support, editorial spreads, as well as individual consults. If you or anyone you know is in need of what we have to offer: photography, make-up, hair, wardrobe, website, graphics, etc.....holla!!! here are the shots from one of our latest, inspired from Madonna's, "Justify My Love" video. I hope you enjoy! P.S. special thanks to the Westin Hotel for allowing us to utilize their facility for our shoot.

Ordinary People - Mrs. Clean

I know it's been a while, since we last posted something on this wonderful blog...thing is, we've been soo slammed. And would like to thank all of those who've been taking advantage of our freelance services. Below is the start of one of our creative journeys---Ordinary people. The thought behind this shoot, was to explore modern day simplicity and add a dab of flare. Our model for this shoot, was the lovely Angela. She was such a joy, and had the personality of --the girl next door. Not the Joey Potter type girl next door (Dawson Creek circa 90's for those who aint get that reference)...but the girl who's down for the cause, and just loves to have fun! She walked high and tall into that laundromat, carrying her basket of "unmentionables"...and in between cycles, struck a pose for us. What do think...is her look cleeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaannn or what :)

Male model - Brantley

Let me tell you about my buddy, Brantley. The nicest guy you will ever meet, and so versatile in his delivery. We worked together one weekend on creating a miriad of looks for his portfolio...and in hopes of him getting signed. It was a pleasure to be his photographer...as I learn more and more how much my role can help give life to other's visions. Male models out there...if you are looking to enhance your portfolio...give P.I.C. a shout, and let us work our magic on you. Enjoy :)

first team shoot

This was my teams first team shoot together...just felt like posting it...no particular reason. If you have already seen it...then SEE IT AGAIN, if you never seen it...then HERE YOU GO, lol...(oh i hate mondays).

The Lost Boys

The teams latest photo shoot involved three men, for our piece inspired off of "The lord of the flies". If you haven't read it, saw it, then .....ugh, I guess you weren't part of the gifted and talented bunch in grade school :) I kid, I kid. Anywho, like always we look to work cohesively as a team to convey a themed shoot. This one, was right up there in terms of level of difficulty: rocks, weather, sewage, bugs, etc. But one thing was for sure, these guys DELIVERED!!.....

PHOTOSHOOT: Evicted

The latest photo shoot by the P.I.C. team was entitled, Evicted. With all the foreclosures and whatnot going on, WHY NOT MAKE IT FASHIONABLE!!. Anywho, we decided to showcase a series of shots where the theme was...fashionable girls who were torn between the responsibilities of paying for their house AND staying fly. We used a run down house that came with its very own decoration: trash, rodents, ripped wallpaper, graffiti, etc. The shoot in itself was sooo much fun, we were laughing and posing from start to finish. Check the results below...
