He Makes Them Good Girls Go Bad

Model: Rabsin

I would have never pegged Rabsin to be one of the bad boys. He's a complete gentleman in person, though he was spot on in looking the part. This was my first time shooting a male model. Quite honestly, I was nervous the night before. What did I know about directing men! But since Rab moves with such grace that every single position he angles his body to is just picture perfect; it was one of the easiest shoots I've had thus far.

Model: Vanessa East

These photos were the first signs that I was slowly growing and coming out of my shell as a photographer. Never in my former years would I have thought of even shooting against harsh sunlight, and shooting backlit would have been dismissed automatically. Slowly I learned (and to love) to play with lighting. I adore taking shots of the in between moments as opposed to traditionally making the subjects pose. There's something more genuine and raw about it. There's more life in shots like these. You get a certain type of connection between you and the subject when you look at the photos.
