These are some images of Christina (from past shoots) that I really love. She has such a classy look!

Christina did all of the styling and makeup on all of the shoots. As with any other shoots, we collaborated on the concepts prior to the shoots.

Christina also has an extremely pleasant and friendly personality, and thus was a blast to work with.

She readily anticipates the photographer’s moves while working in to the overall flow or shoot sequence, her own unique poses and expressions. She’s also very quick to improvise based on high level concepts conveyed, providing thus a good variety of poses, moods and looks.

She’s obviously very suitable for all sorts of modeling work given her height and slender built.

Christi currently goes to school in Cal Poly and we corresponded with each other via OMP.

She scouted out the various locations she knows of in San Luis Obispo, and they all turned out to be fabulous!

These locations were in part derived from the high level concepts we had previously discussed prior to the shoot. It was obvious that Christi’s a natural to modeling and enjoys it very much. She also brings to the shoot her unique personality, energy and attitudes.

I would love to work with Christi again!

As you may recall, this image was taken recently with Nicole Stark.

The original image wasn’t like this, but as you can see, effects put in since has totally change the mood and tone. The colors shown in the resulting image is somewhat muted, but the colors of the accessories and her eyes were enhanced.

This effectively conveyed the artistic vision that I had originally wanted.

Makeup artist Pallavi found my modeling work profile on OMP and wrote me about working together on a project. She was looking to add “Indian Bride” to her portfolio and wanted to team up with a professional photographer for the purpose.

Pallavi’s portfolio was wonderful and demonstrated her skills for a variety of looks. I am always up for working with other people, experienced or not, and so I jumped at this invitation. A date was set, and I met up Pallavi and Kayla in Pallavi’s home in San Francisco one Sunday morning.

These shots were taken indoor and at the balcony.
