Photographer Allan Spires was kind enough to put me in touch with model Dominick Y after I spotted him in one of Allan’s pics. It was very kind of him to put us in touch with one another and I am looking forward to returning the favor.

I first worked with Antonio on a location shoot in a gym setting… As soon as Make-up artist Brandon Phillips and I show his features and skin tone, we immediately wanted to shoot him in wet clothing.

Make-up artist Brandon Phillips called me a few weeks ago and told me that he wanted to try something new. He wanted to use his airbrush and stencils to demonstrate how he could take someone who looked my a man off the street and turn them into an leather daddy or a gangsta. Oddly enough, I was going to call him and ask him to work with me on some leather themed shoots to broaden my greeting card collection.
I recently decided to go to Houston to try out the talent there. I decided that soccer would be the theme of the shoot and before too long I had 8 guys jockeying for position and screaming in celebration.

I recently went to St. Louis to shoot a basketball tournament. While I was there, I decided to fake a track meet with Ramon N and Davis T.

I first worked with Joshua R on the Dining Out for Life shoot…. a few weeks later he wanted to do a solo shoot. I must admit I was skeptical…. I thought his look was too commercial….. boy was I wrong.

After a few years of trying to set something up, Jabari Ajee and I finally got to work together. I think hes worked with more photographers than I have worked with models!

The ad campaign we developed is being used to promote Dining Out For Life, which is [...]
