Jaffia

Introducing Elijah: Get this Kid an Agent.

It is always a great experience shooting kids because unlike adults they tend to have no fear and concern for vanity and "how do i look" syndromes. They instead are alive, energetic and comfortable in their skin. This impromptu shoot with Elijah took 10 minutes and he delivered some amazing shots. I'm serious... get this guy an agent!

Rehearsal shots for Cornelius Bates

Today I had the great pleasure of shooting images for Cornelius Bates for his upcoming show, MY |BRAZILIAN ROMANCE at The Metropolitan Room this Wednesday and Sunday nights. I had to focus to keep from dancing while shooting. The music was amazing. If you are free you have to check him out this week. Find out more at The Metropolitan Room's website.
