Clint Anthony

I must have known Clint for three months before I asked the full time engineer to model. This just goes to show you some of the best models can be right under your nose. Now if I only had a little more courage to go up to more random guys at the gym.

Boutique

Often times I come up with a shoot idea and then contact make-up artists. However, when Make-up Artist Brandon Phillips called me about a shoot he wanted to do, I was all ears. The retro boutique he lined up was amazing and the pictures we came up with pleased me equally.

Bowling, But Far From Alone

The bowling alley near the home of Stylist Richard Paden is lost in time.  Its such a unique location, that we had to line up a shoot there with scene sppropriate clothing. I wanted a to do a shoot that mirrored a group date… but models being models, so many people canceled on us and [...]

Dizie

Brandon, a Detroit native can really bring it. Normally I feature larger models on this blog, but this self proclaimed ‘thin African-American model’ has a great look and skills.

Raphael

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.

A Day at the Beach

What better way to spend an early summer day than with a day at the beach. Stylist Isaac King and I decided to do a lifestyle shoot with three tall good looking black models: Jaquez Andre, Sherrod Antionne, and Isaiah Ross. Sherrod was only there for a minute, Isaac cast Isaiah and I cast Jaquez. [...]

K Ellis

What’s your favorite thing to do on a hot sticky summer night? Stylist Isaac King would probably assert, “fit model Keeland Ellis in a kilt on a random street corner!”

Clifford Doyle

At 6-2 189 pounds Clifford Doyle is a formidable model. The 29-year-old hair stylist’s presence surely brings all the girls and boys to the yard.

Sean Parris

The moment Sean walked through the door… I was like “whoa.” His facial features are so distinctive – he was made to model. Right off the bat, stylist Isaac King and I leaned in to one another and whispered, “now were going to get some pictures.”

Deric Mickens

After spending a cold Chicago winter cooped up in the studio, I was itching to get outside. The first day over 55F we took Deric Mickens to a construction site and a demolition project so we could shoot swimwear and spring fashion. Once the sun had set, we headed back to the studio to finish [...]
