Elemental Youth Hip-Hop Camp 2009

4 day coverage for youth summer camp that focused on the elements of hip-hop! Folks like Deena B., Tony Ozier and Verse from Life Savas were a few artists among the several that came out and donated their time and knowledge. Painting, lyric sessions, beat sessions, turn table time, break-dancing, hip-hop dance... tons of fun!

Here are some of my favorite shots. You can view the full gallery here

Deena B. was the coolest. She gave all of the turn table participants their own copies of wax!

Lip Gloss Talk... coming soon

Some candid shots I did for a local women's support group that discusses hot topics concerning women and our daily and life challenges. The site isn't up and running yet but when it does get there, I'm sure it will be worth the wait! Keep an eye out for lipglosstalk!







and the woman that brought us all together... the beautiful Kilaa

2 Panel Design

Dimitrius Pryce - The Scar in My Eyes

Created this book cover for Dimitrius a couple of months ago. Cool thing is, he's not even finished writing the book and gained the interest of a promoter based off the book cover! Should be an interesting book once finished. He's lived quite a life!



Hooked up a Myspace page for him, too. Check it out! Dimitrius on MySpace

Here's a before shot. The inspiration for the book cover came from a magazine cover shot of Barak Obama that Dimitrius liked.



some of my favorite outtakes...

Coo Breeze

i likes him.

Coo Breeze aka Omari is here ya'll! He's got some cool tunes if you want to have a listen. Coo Breeze on MySpace

We did a shoot and I worked out his myspace page and this 2 panel album art. I thought it was going to be an easy design but he chose some challenging photos to work with! Overall, I'm happy with the outcome. Whatcha think?

Charlisa

A little story... this is the first model I ever shot! Since then, we've become good friends. She's back around, getting some headshots for her salon business. If you need some hair styling services, look her up! Super friendly and good! http://www.hairbycharlisa.com/
