I found that when it comes to traditional Indian Bridal Garments, most images often depict lifeless homogenized images. It’s why I instructed Natalie to play with the breeze off the Gulf. Which she flawlessly allowed me to capture the life she gave to the garments.

Thursday Oct 30th, 2025

I received an email confirming I was to test a male face for his book/comp/page on Wilhelmina’s NYC website. After several discussions about what was needed with his booking agent Blake, on Thursday Nov 6 I received a text from Ken T. We scheduled to shoot on Church St. in Orlando.

Monday Nov 10, 2025 was an unusually cold day in downtown Orlando. I parked on Church St to meet Ken.

In this series of images, I directed Ken to simply stand between the double doors at the 1 Up Orlando. All images were sent for Blake to select what will ultimately be used.

Saturday June 7, 2025 was chaotic day for fittings at Thaden School in Bentonville, Ark.  I spoke to Dovile once she confirmed her presentation about shooting on the school’s campus. I used Google Earth on its site survey. Dovile selected Breanna Konrad and Karissa Kruse during fittings. Once they were done and Blanca contoured their make up. We proceeded to the area on the campus.

This series of images, Breanna and Kassie enjoying the breeze while sitting under a tree. One the July cover with editorial featuring DoviArt’s Modern Madonna collection.

Friday Nov 28, 2025 a sunny afternoon at Coquina Beach South in Bradenton, Fl.  Its sand dunes and saw grass were reminiscent of the ones at Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, Fr. This concept exercise is what I envisioned in discussions with Sheril for her Uhura campaign.
