R.I.P. Lee ALEXANDER McQueen 1969-2010
This week ALEXANDER McQueen, famed fashion designer was found dead apparently due to suicide in his London flat. This was less than two weeks after the death of his mother and a break up from his ex lover. His death has shocked the fashion community to its core. His peers and fans morns the loss of his creative genius. He not only made incredible clothing, but he made bold political statements with his shows each season. McQueen was never afraid to tackle any subject matter found in his tailoring techniques. He has been as to millions of fans as well as personal inspiration to me to shoot fashion. His passion, bravery and raw talents to create things that made the world stand up on ears will be missed for many generations to come. My heart and prays go out to the McQueen family and his love ones.
New BR-PR Miami ad in Ocean Drive magazine
This client wished to shoot a classy image depicting them all as an important part of the company. After discussing the concept, we decided that a 1950's Good Fellows theme suited them perfectly. However they did add a really nice modern spin on there looks. You can see the final result printed into Ocean Drive magazine January 2010 issue next to the masthead.
The Painter
I created this image shortly after a trip to the Brooklyn Museum
about 2 years ago. I was very inspired by this painting.
I believe was it was done by James Wyeth.
It has been a longtime so I maybe mistaken as to the creator.
I thought it would be a fun project to work on and tweak my own
versionof this image full of endows. Apparently the male talent
was so well endowed that the female refused to look in the
direction of his member for the shoot.I end up using her shy
and bashful emotions in the way I placed her.
I figure once a subject looks uncomfortable with something
they are doing it is hard to get them to relax. I find that the
only remedy is to ask them what would make them feel at
ease and try to make that work for me. I ended up
with a great image that I was proud of and still am.

Badara Ndiaye - Model
Had the pleasure of meeting this young man in Miami during a casting for an editorial. His name is Badara, he is a about 6' 8" and he is from Senegal. This tall gentle giant carries himself like a warrior prince and a graceful dancer at the same time. A friend of mine ran into him working in a clothing store. My friend was so taken by his look that he had to walk up to Badara and ask, "what the hell are you doing working at this store!?". I believe with the right book and agent this kid could be huge. I really hope to have the opportunity to shoot another portrait of him instead of just a casting image. Good Luck Badara!
