This was probably one of my first modeling shoots. I still lived in a confined apartment and was using my dining room for a studio…… Not only have I grown as a photographer, but my space has grown as well. Now I have a 185 square meter (2000 sqft) live work space.

Model and dancer Raphael noted, "I am not as strong as I look in those pics, in my daily life. Unless I'm teaching dance in the ghetto."



At first I shot him on black, but I didn't like it, so I switched to white.


"When dancing, you have to use what you have and all I had was my body and the camera. Space was the least of my worries." - Model Raphael
