Ms Manchester -- Theresa Marie

Theresa Marie (Ms Manchester) was planning her road trip from Pittsburgh to NYC to take a makeup workshop with Mac Cosmetics when she wrote me about collaborating.  She is both a makeup artist and a model with a love for FX. I noticed her portfolio was primarily nude work so as always my main objective was to bring something completely different to her portfolio. She packed up a bunch of fun dresses and away she went!

I had a lot of fun with this shoot -- I got to take a lot of artistic liberty to try out new lighting techniques. The double exposures and flow (movement) images are all done in camera- they were not created afterwards in post. What was amazing is that she has a full Lisa Frank sleeve (anyone remember those colorful, cute folders and pencils and such when you were a kid =D?) One of her dresses matched her tattoo perfectly!!! Would you believe that was her Prom dress o_o???? (Top set)

And here are the images we did! Again, Don't forget to click on the thumbnails to enlarge them to see full view!!!

Tiffany

Tiffany contacted me a while ago about getting into modeling. She wasn't sure if she could because of her height. (She's the same height as me!).  We decided to aim at more of a Commercial/Promotional model type of photo shoot. She drove out to my studio in Southern Jersey. We started off simple with the white dress to show off her figure. She has a really great smile! Miss Rae Sin (MRS Beauty) did the makeup for this photo shoot. She provided her wardrobe and I helped tweak the hair styling for the pinup look!

I love doing these old Hollywood Noir style images!

Something a little sexier!

We finished off with a look I haven't done in a long time! 

A new image continuing my colorful flower series =)!

I really miss doing these.. hmmm.. Do I see a sale in the future ;)?

Catching up

Time flies so darn fast when you are busy! It's like one day sort of rushes into the following. I finally linked my blog from my website, so it should be easier to find now! I have loads of images to post, but I will start with just a few for now! I will try not to run my post too long-- Any feedback on what my watchers would like to see or critique on the length of my posts would be appreciated!

I received my first Gallery Wrap! I bought a 30x40 and finally have it hung up in my studio!

I will get some better images of the studio hopefully soon, but until then, here is a candid with my photo shoot with Celiciagrryl. She was a ton of energy! I found myself laughing so much at all the cute and funny faces she would make. She was not afraid to try anything! She was a rockin' model and I will be posting her album here sometime soon!



The makeup artist is my favorite makeup girl, Rae Sin of MRS Beauty! http://www.modelmayhem.com/1138287

I've had a ton of bookings this past month! Most of the girls are a little shy and would rather their images not be posted online, but here are a few outgoing models and some beautiful images we shot!

I'm usually not a fan of girls with really short hair -- I usually love to be able to play and mold long flowing hair, but with DeSalle, I think I have been won over to the short hair side! I've been on a sort of ... blue streak with makeup. Most people say that they don't wear blue because it has a sort of "tranny" look. I such HMPH! I love the icy stare in this shot! I did the makeup for this shoot =)!

You can see her modeling portfolio here:

She mentioned how she doesn't look good in pink. I seem to have this uncanny thing where when some says that, I subconsciously throw them in that color. I don't think anyone really looks "bad" in a color. Maybe it's just that I love color in general. I didn't even realize it, I just grabbed this top out of my closet and was like "Oh! This will be cute!" -- and remembered later on what she said x_x;

I think I proved her wrong though =D

I'm thinking about making the image above into a new Canvas Gallery Wrap for my studio! I love all the textures, colors and patterns. What do you think ^_^?

I finally got to have my first photo shoot outside since last fall! The winter felt like forever... I used to love the cold and I have a lot of photos outside in the snow to prove it, but I think I'm likin' the warm in my old age (lol). This girl had a sort of Betty Page bang and she does a lot of dark work usually wears a lot of heavy makeup. I wanted to do something completely different. I tried some new cross processing techniques on this image -- I personally love it! I did the makeup and hair for this shoot as well!
