Krish is a good friend of Nicole Erin (see previous post). Nicole finally convinced Krish that he should give this modeling stuff a shot. Krish calls me, we all get together, and have one hell of a photo shoot!

Since Krish had never done this before, he was in need of a comp card. Throughout this hole day, Krish proved to be a total natural and very comfortable in front of the camera. The day began with some studio photography.

Now we where in need of some lifestyle shots!

Needing a little bit of a commercial look, we ended up with this picture, which turned out to be one of my favorite pictures of the day.

As the sun started to set, we headed out to the park. At the end of a long day of shooting, this is what its all about!

Besides having a great look, Krish did an amazing job. I would also have to thank Nicole for helping out all day.

Most people say that with age comes maturity, wisdom and experience.  As that may be true for most people, that certainly doesn’t apply to super agent to the stars Nick Clayton from The Diamond Agency.  Nick and I had never met before today, however we managed to develop a profesional relationship over emails and phone calls as it happens very often in todays world.

Nick had come down to Miami to see the opening night of “Temptation Cabaret“, in which Steven Helmkamp (see previous post), one of his clients host and is the lead in.

Taking advantage of the situation, we decided it was a good idea to put a face to the name. We also decided to get Nick some professional headshots for any promo materials he might need as an agent.

As you can see from these pictures, Nick did an amazing job. Nick’s kindness and honesty are a true blessing in this industry.

OK, so this last one was my idea and I kind of had to talk Nick into it. I really wanted to see attitude, madness if you will, which is totally not Nick. At the end he, managed to pull it off and still looked great!

For those of you that are looking for representation in the Orlando / Tampa market, you will not find a better agency. Take a look at their brand new web site and you will see for yourself.

Evelyn is one of those people that lights up a room the second she walks in. Evelyn’s energy and natural beauty made this photo shoot one for the record books.

With each look we did, Evelyn managed to look better and better!

This last look pretty much sums up the day. Amazing!

Ok, so now the most important part. Evelyn is actually a really good actress. As a matter of fact, a few days after the shoot, Evelyn was in Los Angeles attending a call back for a lead in a medium size feature film.

Thank you Evelyn for making my job so easy!

Dennis and I met the day I shot the photo for the poster for a new show called Deadlift (see Decembers 23rd post). As soon as you meet Dennis, you immediately become his friend. His positive energy and persona are intoxicating, making you wish that there where more people like that in this world.

Anyways, Dennis was in need of new headshots.  With the way that Dennis looks, my job was pretty easy that day!

This is probably my favorite of the day!

Different look for Dennis, but a very cool shot!

OK, so finally at the end we decided to get a little creative using Dennis’s body and creative lighting. Not to shabby!

Since our shoot, Dennis and I have become friends and are planning on doing a few projects together. Thanks Dennis!

Lauren and I met through a referral from Nick Clayton of The Diamond Agency. One look at Lauren and I knew that this was going to be a great shoot. She is beautiful, sexy, funny and to top it off a great actress who works all the time.

Our goal today, as it always is, was to capture Lauren’s beauty and aura.

As you can see from the images bellow, Lauren knocked it right out of the park. HOME RUN!

My three favorite photos of the day!

It was such an awesome day. Thanks Lauren for making the long drive down to Miami!

You can plan all you want. Make all the preparations, choose a location, get all the props, clothing, hair and makeup, but when it comes to location shoots there is always the unknown.

Teresa and I planned this shoot months ago.  As it is with most of the “winter” here in Miami, the days before our shoot had been gorgeous.  70’s in the day with not a cloud in sight. Of course, as luck would have it, this morning was freezing.  When I say freezing, the temp before I left my house read 46 with the winds at 15 to 20 mph .  Not ideal conditions for a beach shoot, however Teresa and her hubby braved their way through it with a giant smile.

This picture was taken as the sun was rising.

Once the sun came up, it warmed things up a little bit, making it more pleasant for all of us.

The happy couple taking a walk down the beach!

Finally some rest and a nice tender moment!

Thanks guys for a great morning!
