Mad Hatter in See.7 Magazine

Another fun play on hair and hats. Just can't help myself! This time I wanted to be more playful, and also this time, the model's hair was so bountiful that I didn't require extensions... what you see is what you get... hats made from the model's own hair.

Make-up Stigmata

This one actually was published a little while ago, but getting closer to Hallowe'en is maybe a good time to share a lightly creepy little beauty story.

POP! Published in Satellite Magazine

Here's a fun little story freshly out in Satellite Magazine. Chameleon-like Jesse (fave male model) takes on a variety of personae in this quirky exploration of pop culture stereotypes... also featuring popping colour, and vintage-style pop brands.

Blue Blood on Stylnk

Yay! Featured on Stylnk!

Here is the final spread, and a couple of bts of the crown-making process, and one more "out-take" that I couldn't resist.

The alluring image of the spoons advertised on Craigslist
that caught my eye when I did my search.

After a lot of fussing and rearranging, I settled on the design
I was happy with for the crown, using all but 3 of the spoons.

The final crown, wired together with picture wire and then attached
to a sturdier wire frame I created to stop the spoons from twisting.

Beautiful Amanda.

Fresh Face at Jager Models

So, I finally did it, a shoot of my very own... on a very small scale... me, and the model, at my place.

It helps to have Fred's gear on hand, and his brain to pick to achieve what I wanted, but it actually turned out the way I wanted it to! Yay!

I have to say it was amazingly fun to direct the posing, Amanda is a sweet girl with a kooky side just waiting to come out. I'm still choosing finals for the actual beauty set, but here is a "photobooth" of  Amanda, underneath her initial shy exterior.

I'm not sure how I missed posting this one, but better late than never. The talented Natalie in a dual role as both model and stylist (with assistance from her sister Cole, who also models!). Confused yet? Don't be, just go with it... nothing wrong with a little blurring of the lines.

Fresh faces

A little while ago (before I got swamped with "cabin fever", which I may blog about later) I did a series of model tests on some fresh faces from Jager models, shot by Robert Kenney. And the fun thing is, Fred and I ended up using two of these girls in an editorial to run this fall in String Magazine, so you see... testing works!

Anyway, here are a few of the shots Jager selected for their site.
