Always happy to post up a shot of Rushana when I get the chance. She always delivers on the attitude, professionalism, and of course beauty! This shot was captured by the Mercat Central in late afternoon light. Thanks to my friend, Laurence, for putting together this and other sessions for his visit.

Polina giving those classic beauty/glam vibes during our recent studio session. This image works really well in black and white and color, so I had a bit of a struggle deciding which to post. Maybe I’ll post the color one in the near future. Either way, Polina is wonderfully engaged with the camera here, easily making this a favorite from this session.

After working with Christiana on Friday, we got together again the following Monday in the studio. Here we kept it simple and sometimes that’s all one needs :). Christiana really shines in this otherwise low-key setup.

Yaroslavna giving us those supermodel vibes during our shoot on the coast of the Med in Malaga. This was the final day of my time getting to shoot with Anja Ekstrom and her Fashion Bootcamp. In a week filled with amazing models, outfits, and amazing fellow photographic talent, this last day finished wonderfully strong! Thanks to all involved here 🙂
Thanks to Anja Ekstrøm Creative for the opportunity to work such great talent!

Christina reaching for the sun along with the other occupants of the garden in the courtyard of the CCCC Museum. We really appreciate the museum letting us use their space for this shoot which provided a variety of settings in a relatively small space.

Pauline making magic in front of my lens during our shoot a week ago on the streets of Valencia. The clouds may have reduced the light we had this morning, but the lovely softness of light created was worth it and worked out beautifully for us.

Christiana wrapped in the beautiful morning light here on the streets of Valencia. I often put the sun behind my subject to some degree and rely on a reflector and/or a bounced light from nearby buildings and windows to light the face. Of course, Christiana seems to bring her own lovely light to the frame here 🙂

Another favorite from my shoot with Polina the other day. This top she’s wearing really pops and to complete the shot, Carmen used our tiny battery powered hairdryer to complete this fun glam/fashion image. Thanks Polina, for putting up with the eye-drying breeze to get this image 🙂
