Images from my TFP session at the Sekrit Theater

Second look from Time for Print Session with Rebecca

I had an opportunity to work with Diêlha again.  She was one of the models who participated in my Spanish Harlem project, and she asked me to photograph her vintage photo shoot.  A couple of weeks ago, she posted in the Facebook group that we’re members of that she was looking for a photographer to photograph her […]

Photographing men is SO very different than photographing women.  The posing is different, and it’s something that I am still learning.  When I put out a call for a model shoot, Makaile responded.  I told him that we could schedule a date, but he had to be patient with me.  He agreed, and we made plans to shoot at […]

I […]

One of the things that I’ve noticed in some of the photography groups where I am a member is that some of the images posted by male photographers have the female models in very sexualized positions.  These women are barely clothed, and are posed in extremely suggestive poses. It can be very discouraging and upsetting as well.  I […]
