Lovely Paula Marie

The lovely Paula Marie from her visit to Valencia last year. She really sets a mood in this shot, to which I performed some color grading to create a “not quite” natural overall look. Paula is amazing to work with and a true professional in front of the camera. Carmen and I also had a great time hanging out with her after the shoot before she left for the next leg of her trip. Hope we get to see you again soon, Paula!

Serenity on the Street

Alyona is beautiful when she’s in motion, and she’s also stunning when striking a pose.

Sun, Scarf, And Sonia

After posting from our shoot last year in the studio on Friday, Sonia returns today with this shot from our shoot in the park yesterday. I’m always impressed with how she owns the space in front of the camera and of course the effortless beauty she brings to the scene as seen here.

Stunning Soneczka

Sonia lighting up the studio last year during our first shoot together. Since this shoot we have shot together several times and she’s become one of our best friends here in Valencia. She always brings her best to a shoot and seems to always have a brilliant smile on her face whenever we see her.

Time to Lean

The stunning Sophie Wester from our time shooting here on the streets of Valencia. This alley had recent;y been passed over by a street cleaner and thanks to the cloud cover, we had plenty of time to work with the wet surface before it dried up.

Rose of the Mediterranean

Another favorite from the first day of the Fashion Boot Camp with Anja Ekstroem Academy back in April. Sheila Lazar totally owned the space on deck and maintained amazing focus while the boat rolled over the waves. Adding to the challenge was needing to maintain on hand on the boat at all times limiting her to always holding on in a shot and my having to hold the camera with one hand. It wasn’t easy but it was worth it 🙂
