Melissa

Melissa is probably one of the most beautiful models I've photographed in the past year. She has such a strong face and features and such grace and poise. She is going to go far in the modeling world. Even at her young age, she possesses such a sophistication and maturity. It's really nice to work with people who are humble and smart and professional. It makes my job so easy and it's such a delight. Here's a shot of Melissa. You can see more of her on my Flickr page.



Hair and Makeup by Patricia Purvis and Ayesha Gilani.

Iyabo

Fierce and energetic was Iyabo (pronounced YABO). I photographed this model recently and this is one of my favorite photos from the shoot. I like the simplicity of this shot and the lighting and mood worked perfectly.



The makeup artist and hairstylist were amazing and we were able to create different looks and bring out Iyabo's emotions and personalities. You can check out Iyabo's Model Mayhem page here

Behind the Scenes
