Geoffrey Badner learned to print negatives and process his own film when he was 10. In high school he bought his first Nikon SLR and three lenses. He shot rolls and rolls of film and spent hours in the darkroom his dad built in the family home. In college, he bailed on photography all together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Geoffrey worked in photo labs processing and printing other people's work for three years to help pay for school but rarely picked up a camera to shoot. He studied graphic design and became an advertising creative director and digital designer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Over the years, he returned to photography, starting with simple street and documentary-style work that captured what was going on around him. He is now moving on from that and working to actively capture original moments that he creates.</div>

Karin Price, born and raised in south Florida, learned at the young age of 12 that her true passion was makeup. When she was growing up, she collected dozens of fashion magazines and would look at them for inspiration. She took that inspiration and would practice her skills on anyone that would let her. After getting an Associates Degree, she pursued her esthetician license and the production makeup artistry program at Cosmix School of Makeup Artistry in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Once this passion was fueled by education and years of freelance work in editorial, fashion, runway, and special FX, Karin became determined to make her way out to Los Angeles. That dream came true this summer when she took her chances and moved to LA at the end of July.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Why makeup artistry?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided to become a makeup artist because I struggled with severe acne growing up. When I started to play around with makeup and experimenting with different products on myself and friends, it made me feel confident. The bullying I had endured no longer affected how I felt about myself. I felt empowered. Although makeup is only superficial, I know firsthand what it can do for other people who are internally struggling with the same issues.</blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Who is your favorite makeup artist of all time?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ve Neill is my favorite makeup artist because she is such an inspiration to makeup artists everywhere and to women in general. Not only has she received the most Academy Awards by any woman in the past for makeup, she has also worked on some of my favorite movies such as <i>Beetlejuice, The Hunger Games, </i>and all of Tim Burton's movies. She has an amazing ability to combine the real with the surreal and make it seamless.</blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What inspires you?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My biggest inspiration is people in general. I love hearing people's stories about where they come from and what inspires them to keep going. This is one of the primary reasons why I love film. In my opinion, it is the most raw form of visual artistry where you are able to perceive the complete story of a character from beginning to end.</blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What is your favorite project you have worked on?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To this day, working as the Movie Makeup Director at a summer camp in San Bernadino has been my favorite project I've been involved with. I built the program from the bottom up and was able to provide the students with a mini makeup school that was themed depending on the day. We had Lady Gaga Thursday, Wound Wednesday, and foundation and color theory Mondays! The kids not only loved it, but have expressed to me their budding passion for makeup artistry and their desires to perhaps pursue it as their careers. Knowing that I somehow have influenced these kids' lives positively has meant the world to me.</blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What genre does your work focus on?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have mostly worked in glam/beauty, which I love, but my dream is to get more into Special FX. It is so fascinating to me, the actual realism in Special FX, and the research involved in making that vision come to life!</blockquote>

Leanne Hare has been a licensed cosmetologist in Arizona and California for more than 20 years. She has always had a passion for hair styling. Her first client was, of course, Barbie (until Leanne realized her would never grow back)! Then she started styling her friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After graduating high school, she went straight into the cosmetology profession of hair and began working in salons doing color, cuts, weaves, perms, and up-dos. She was able to build her skills and speed while learning to communicate with her clients in a professional way (to hear what they were saying and envisioning in her head). Leanne moved back to California and worked with the Disney Corp as a hair stylist and then worked for operas, photo shoots, runways, red carpet events, and music videos.</div>

Melynda is originally from the Bay Area and got her official start in fashion styling at the age of 15 while living in San Diego, CA. As a child, she would sit for hours sketching outfits and making cartoon drawings of women in different designs. In high school she joined a (now defunct) youth internship program called "The Retail Project" where she was able to dress fashion shows for Nikita, Doc Martens, Quicksilver, and many other early streetwear brands of the time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since then, Melynda has managed (and bought for) multiple resale retail stores, worked and traveled as a sales rep in fashion wholesale and even became a store owner/operator herself.</div>

Hilary Anderson grew up in the Chicagoland area where she started her modeling career. She started as a freelance model but was discovered by Elle Chicago (now Factor Women) after a few months. Through Factor she started modeling for many of the major catalogue/e-commerce companies in the area, including Kohl's, Sears, and Meijer to name a few. Over the decade, Hilary has been lucky to work with designers and publications of all sizes, including Zac Posen, GQ Australia, and Vogue Singapore.</div>
<br />
<b>Why modeling?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Travel, constantly meeting and working with new people, and artistic expression.</blockquote>
<b>What inspires you?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Lots of things. Nature. Books. Music. Music can change your whole mood and perception in an instant. [I'm also inspired by] people who are completely, unapologetically comfortable being themselves. Probably because I almost never feel that way. </blockquote>
<b>What is your personal style?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I'm traveling around the UK right now, so I pretty much live in my high-waisted Levi jeans and either a tucked in tee or long-sleeved blouse. I pair it with my husband's belt and black boots I found a a flea market or Converse.</blockquote>
<b>What is your favorite band or song of all time?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
That's a really tough question! I don't really have just one favorite, so I'll have to go with the first band that really made an impact on me - Jefferson Airplane. My sister was named after Grace Slick.</blockquote>
<b>What do you look for when selecting a photographer to work with?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I look first and foremost for someone who is willing to collaborate. I'm always up to shoot, but I've found that the shoots that turn out best for everyone involved and are the most fun are the ones that have at least a little spontaneity to them. I also look for diversity in a photographer's work. I like people who have tried many different concepts, even if they haven't succeeded at all of them. It's only when you're willing to fail that you're able to grow.</blockquote>
<b>What product can you not live without?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Vitamin C. I've been taking it supplementally since I was like 10. I swear it's the reason I've always had such great skin. </blockquote>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What do you look for when selecting a model to work with?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Story, character, uniqueness, quirkiness, energy, drama. I don't care how beautiful the model is or how good they are at posing if the substance is not there, I cannot do too much. That's one thing I cannot add in post.</blockquote>
<b>What kind of camera/equipment do you use?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I get this question a lot. I'll say Canon, but I couldn't care less. Give me any pro or semi-pro camera and light, I'm happy. I stopped paying attention to gear a long time ago. Don't get me wrong, I love all of that, but it's not the first thing on my mind when I'm working. As long as the gear is not demanding, I'm happy.</blockquote>
<b>What is your personal style?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Vintage. I absolutely love vintage. There is so much history there and there is a lot you can do with it - all of the patterns, colors, textures. I just love it.</blockquote>
<b>What genre does your work focus on?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I would say fashion, editorial, and commercial.</blockquote>
<b>What is your favorite band or song of all time?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Has to be Radiohead. Fantastic melodies and mood.</blockquote>
<b>What is your most embarrassing moment professionally?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Oh man, when I was new to LA, I used to shoot a lot of models that didn't have representation. I would just check their online portfolio out and book a team based on that. I was talking to this Russian model who submitted her portfolio for consideration. Great looks, about 23-25 years old. I didn't see quality photos on her page, but loved her look. I got a great team together for the shoot and everybody was excited to work with her. On the day of the shoot, she turns up and she is 45 years old. Now don't get me wrong, I'm happy to shoot anyone at any age. I'm not an ageist and it has never been an issue, but I felt so awkward and stupid. Talk about misrepresentation! Of course her explanation was, "My online portfolio? Oh yeah, I did those photos years ago." Needless to say, it was not a good experience. Luckily now the modeling agencies do the filtering for me! </blockquote>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Why makeup artistry?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I never saw myself becoming a makeup artist, although I have always been into art. I was asked to become a makeup artist by someone in the makeup field. I'm grateful they saw something in me that I never knew I had, and since then I've been building my skills and taking my career further than I ever thought it would go.</blockquote>
<b>Who is your favorite makeup artist of all time?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
That would have to be Pat McGrath. Her work is so divine. So creative and so diverse. I love that you can look through her portfolio and see all genres of makeup styles. The opportunity to work alongside her would be a dream come true.</blockquote>
<b>What do you look for when selecting a model to work with?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Since I've started producing my own shoots and booking the talent, selecting models has been more particular. It's never really about the work they already have in their portfolios because sometimes it's the work of the photographers/editors that end up not complimenting the models. What I look for is a variety or combination of facial expressions, poses, eye contact...things of that nature. If I see that "quality" in a model, I usually book them for one of my shoots.</blockquote>
<b>What is your favorite project you have worked on?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
One of my favorite projects was one of my first shoots. It was a Marilyn Monroe re-create (pictured above). I had to strip down a model's face to au natural that came in 2 hours late to our shoot and looked like she partied all night and never made it home. From there, I transformed her to the legendary icon. The whole time the photographer (who I'd never worked with or met until that day) was standing over my worried that I wouldn't be able to pull off the look. The looks on both the model and the photographer's faces were priceless when I was done and so self-gratifying. The images came out beautifully and the photographer even booked me for a few more shoots. </blockquote>
<b>What genre does your work focus on?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Currently I'm focused on fashion, editorial makeup, and male grooming, but I've done everything from beauty to Avant Garde. I like to switch things up to keep from getting bored. I even body paint from time to time. </blockquote>

<b>Why makeup artistry?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I grew up with an extremely traditional family. I was an uber-creative child, but was eventually urged by my parents to pursue a more "conventional" and "logical" career for both financial reasons and job security. I graduated with a degree in Public Relations and began my professional career at a wonderful agency in Los Angeles. It was a great job, but I felt unfulfilled. I struggled without being able to flex my creative muscles, so I picked up makeup as a hobby and an outlet. Over time, that hobby became a true passion and, with the support of my incredible husband, I left my full-time job to pursue makeup artistry. I took every job I possibly could, paid or otherwise, and practices on my friends and family consistently. I'm still pretty new to the game, but I'm excited to see what the future has in store.</blockquote>
<b>Who's your favorite makeup artist of all time?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
What a weighty question! There are so many incredible artists in the industry, and so many more who have helped to shape the landscape we see today. That being said, one of my absolute favorites in James Vincent. Aside from being completely infatuated with James' work and tremendous talent, I consistently find myself inspired by his work ethic and humility. Being an artist is about so much more than just having the talent. I think he's got the full package. Plus he's got great taste in music! I hope he doesn't see how hard I'm fangirling right now!</blockquote>
<b>What inspires you?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The universe! The unbelievable series of events that it took for us to be where we are today. Seems like a pretty big pool of inspiration to draw from as a makeup artist, but when I see a face, I try to think about where that face has been and how I can best represent it. I love natural looks. Nature worked hard to create something beautiful, and I do the best I can to highlight those features.</blockquote>
<b>What is your personal style?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
If it's black, I'm good to go. I like to be comfortable with an edge. I really dig being able to change up my hair often, much to my mother's dismay.</blockquote>
<b>What's your favorite band or song of all time?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Tough call. It's probably Led Zeppelin. </blockquote>

Wilford Lenov was born and raised in one of the fashion capitals of the world - Los Angeles. However, his personal sense of style reaches beyond his immediate locale, as well as our current time period. His inspiration is a potpurri consisting of sources such as Japan, classic styles, west coast fashion and music that makes you feel fun and flirty. His aesthetic is best described as "clean, classic chic but conceptual."<br />
<br />
Wilford also loves soft, feminine looks as portrayed by designers such as Lanvin, Chanel and Roberto Cavali. When working, he takes direction well in order to achieve the goal of the project while putting his own touch when necessary.ModelWire Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15388113562144051978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6256415242722155797.post-86871009461878654022015-02-19T15:30:00.001-08:002015-02-19T15:30:22.981-08:00Meet Our Featured Members of the MonthGet to know a little more about our featured members for February!

<b>Why photography?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted something where I could escape the craziness of theatre and acting. Something where I could say or create anything I wanted without having to be faced with outside opinion during the process. So, I bought a camera. Sure, everyone has thoughts about the images...but by the time they see them, I've already finished my statement. Any interpretation has less to do with me and more to do with the viewer's own experiences.</blockquote>
<b>What do you look for when selecting a model to work with?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Life. I go straight to the eyes. I look for movement and how comfortable a model is with his/her body. I typically request a candid, non-retouched photo to get a better idea. Why? Because it's difficult to see who a model is when I'm only seeing them through the eyes of fancy photographers. I'd rather see that silly selfie or that random day on vacation that you snapped a shot. It shows me much more about who the model actually is...that's important to me.</blockquote>
<b>What is your favorite project you've worked on?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I'm currently working on a series called BARE. I'm calling it a nude editorial that explores men when the walls are stripped away. There is so much pressure to live up to certain gender expectations. I started this series for two reasons...1) I wanted to work on artistic nudes. Too often I see male nude work that is more about the model's...we'll call it "junk"...and not enough about the rest of what's in the shot. I wanted to find ways to include a nude man and have the STORY in the image be the main character. 2) I work with a lot of male models with gorgeous bodies. People expect them to act a certain way, but the truth is, many of them are so much deeper and have much more to say about life than they'd ever get credit for. In many ways, the male model of 2015 has started to learn how many female models have felt for years. They are much more than just pretty faces and hot bodies. I felt the need to share what's underneath the hood of the car a bit more...and being nude naturally reveals a sort of vulnerability that's just beautiful.</blockquote>
<b>What inspires you?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Truth. Nothing draws me in as quickly as honesty. It's in the eyes. It's in the movement. It's in a song. It's sexy. It's intriguing. You name it. That's why the BARE series is personal to me right now.</blockquote>
<b>What is your most embarrassing moment professionally?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I've got a bunch of moments as an actor, but from the photography side of things...a little over a year ago, I wanted to start working with agency models an didn't know how to be SEEN. So, I drafted up an email that mentioned liking the talent I'd noticed on social media and how unique the looks were, etc. It was a personal email, but I'd intended on blind copying a list of agencies. I got it all written and added my website links and everything. I felt so productive! I hit send. Then I realized I'd cc'd the entire list. "Oh my God, they're going to think I'm an idiot." Luckily, I've since started working with some of them. Not because of that email though! I was mortified, but I guess in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't so bad. </blockquote>

RJ LaMendola graduated at the top of his class with a Bachelor's in Arts Degree from the Brooks Institute where he routinely possessed his class's top portfolio. The artist is blessed with the eye of a painter that appreciates the subtlety for composition, light and color. His skill enables the metamorphosis from the banal to art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
RJ's roots are in Chicago and his time spent on the dunes of Lake Michigan germinated his passion for art. He is able to capture the pure essence of everything he photographs, and he develops a genuine connection with his subjects. He is intensely curious and looks for inspiration in everything.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Originally born and raised in Shreveport, LA, Bethany Garita (Pretty In Ink By Beth) currently resides in Southern California, where she does makeup and hair freelance. She began life as a painter, which led to her friends asking Bethany to do their makeup like her paintings. Bethany used photos from her first shoot, which she booked via a model on MySpace, and photos of her friends to build her first rough portfolio. She has now been in the industry for almost 10 years and has worked in both film and print.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Why makeup artistry?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Why not?! It's fun, I get to work with models, travel, and I use my God-given art skills every day! As a mother I also love it because I set my own schedules, and I love being a part of the magic that happens behind the scenes. Plus I get to play with makeup!</blockquote>
<b>Who is your favorite makeup artist of all time?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Allan "Whitey" Snyder. He created the most timeless, glamorous and iconic look ever on Marilyn Monroe. </blockquote>
<b>What inspires you?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I am inspired by paintings, seasons, fashion shows, history, and so many other things. I have a book with loads of ripped out photos and snap shots, scribble, and it may look like the book and ravings of a lunatic to someone else, but it's all reference and inspiration to me.</blockquote>
<b>What do you look for when selecting a model to work with?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Well, the first thing I look for is good skin; I cannot stress how important that is to me. The other things are awkward beauties, very androgynous features, or anything striking, like women with a strong jaw line!</blockquote>
<b>What product can you not live without?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I can't live without mascara. Take everything else, but leave me my mascara!</blockquote>
<b>What is your favorite project you have worked on?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I will have to say it was the 6 months I worked on the TV series <i>SALEM</i>. I met some amazing people who became great friends; I learned a lot and got some great experience under my belt. It was my first big project and I am still so humbled and grateful for the experience. </blockquote>
<b>What is your personal style?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I am super relaxed; I am always in jeans and a t-shirt, with a pair of Vans, Keds, or Converse on. I also love oversized shirts and layers. I am very much inspired by Korean street fashion the most.</blockquote>
<b>What is your favorite band or song of all time?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I can't say that I have a favorite band, but my favorite song is "The Girl You Want" by Devo.</blockquote>
<b>What is your most embarrassing moment professionally?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I have had plenty of embarrassing moments in my life, but I can luckily say that so far, I have yet to have any on the job and hope to keep it that way! </blockquote>

Queena Yan was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada where she developed a sense of style at an early age. A knack for matching and color coordinating without knowing fashion came easy. She had no idea it would become her desired career. She received her first degree at V.C.C. where she created her very first collection. The overall response was so overwhelming that it motivated her to collaborate and assist with the start of HardHood Clothing, a Canadian based high end urban street wear company. This subsequently motivated her to pursue her higher education and career in fashion at F.I.T. in New York City.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
En route to her second degree, Queena worked with various photographers, wardrobe stylists, choreographers, directors and artists such as Bill Blass, Al Rodriguez, Lee Clower, Lucy Corrigan, Isle White, Derek Reed, and Lil Kim to name a few.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Her work has been featured in Vogue Italia, Vh1, MTV, Paper-cut and other various magazines, as well as film and TV. Queena's goal is to create a high end movement combining fashion, music, art, dance, photography, and styling which would culminate into her brand, Queena Yan.</div>

His career unofficially began at the young age of 19, when he started drawing clothes for newspapers and fashion houses to make extra money while at university in Spain. This work led to an apprenticeship with Cristóbal Balenciaga, who became his mentor. De la Renta's career started to take off in 1961, when he became a couture assistant at Lanvin in Paris. </div>

Courtney's love for the world of beauty started very early on when she first discovered Kevyn Aucoin's book, <u>The Art of Makeup</u>. He inspired her to make over anyone who would sit in front of her and she quickly fell in love with the power that makeup had to transform people both physically and emotionally. Eager to turn her passion into a career, she left her Midwest roots and made the move to California where she attended the Empire Academy of Makeup to hone her skills as a professional makeup artist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Courtney began her career in Los Angeles working for Urban Decay cosmetics, but it wasn't until she began to freelance on numerous editorial shoots, corporate videos, indie films, runway shows, and red carpet events, that she developed her own signature style as an artist. Her clean, understated beauty aesthetic, combined with her down-to-earth attitude has clients coming back time and time again. Courtney's love and excitement for the beauty world is infections and is instantly apparent to anyone who steps into her chair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Why makeup artist?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Growing up, I was actually quite shy and makeup helped me to come out of my shell. I discovered that when I put it on, I immediately felt more confident and outgoing around others. It was an emotional transformation as much as it was a physical one. My attitude changed, my body language changed, and I suddenly felt like I could take on the world. that feeling became addictive and I couldn't wait to get other women in my chair to share the same excitement.</blockquote>
<b>Who is your favorite makeup artist of all time?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Kevyn Aucoin. I know it is such a cliche answer, but it's true. My aunt picked up one of his books for me when I was young and I was absolutely enamored by the images. That book became my bible. I studied it and read through it hundreds of times. His images are so iconic and beautiful and demonstrated the power makeup had to completely transform someone. He made me realize makeup was a true art form and one you could make a living doing. Not only was he gifted, but he seemed so humble and kind as well, something you don't always see in the beauty world.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
As far as makeup artists today go, I am obsessed with Mary Phillip's work. She makes her clients' skin look so fresh and flawless without caking on tons of product. Her work on Jennifer Lopez is so much fun to watch because she plays with so many different looks yet still manages to put the JLo spin on it.</blockquote>
<b>What inspires you?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I'm inspired by other artists' work. I could spend hours scouring Instagram looking at images. There are just so many talented MUA's on there! I'm inspired by badass femaile entrepreneurs. I just finished reading <u>#GirlBoss</u> by Sophia Amoruso and <u>The Glitter Plan</u> by the Juicy Couture creators, and I couldn't be more motivated. I love people who make something out of nothing. I love surrounding myself with other artists and visionaries who have big dreams and endless passion. Those people keep me going. I'm inspired by people who don't take "no" for an answer and know how to ask for what they want. I'm inspired by my Mom, who has mastered the art of tough love. And Los Angeles - I love this city and it never ceases to amaze me.</blockquote>
<b>What product can you not live without?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I cannot live without my Graftobian HD cream foundation. It feels like butter and blends like a dream on the skin. I use it as a foundation as well as an under eye concealer. And I most definitely cannot live without my eyelash extensions!! They save me so much time and make me feel so glamorous at all times.</blockquote>
<b>What is your favorite project you have worked on?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
My favorite project was actually a look book shoot for a handmade, earth friendly clothing line called Where Clothes. It was shot in Cape Cod over a weekend and there were like 10 girls there holed up together in the house where we were shooting. Normally when you get that many females together, drama is always bound to happen, but they were the most amazing, inspiring group of women and I left feeling like I had a new family. It was such a crazy bonding experience filled with intimate sharing, burnt nachos, and a scavenger hunt in a scary abandoned home. Meeting people like that is why I love my job so much.</blockquote>
<b>What genre(s) does your work focus on?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I definitely do a lot of editorial work. I love the freedom you have to experiment with the makeup. It's always more fun when you are able to be creative. I love when the hair, makeup, wardrobe, and lighting all come together to create an interesting story and the photographer is able to capture that. Every time I see the images from a shoot I did, it feels like Christmas morning. There is nothing like it. </blockquote>

As with many a spring collection, florals, pastels and jewel tones are at the forefront. And not to be forgotten, eternally chic black and white pairings were all over the place. We've also spied a lot of cutouts, geometric patterns, two piece ensembles, sheer, shine and volume. Take a look at some of our favorite looks to hit the runway so far...<br />

Peeky is a plus size model that was born and raised in Holland and is now based in NYC. As a teenager, she did not like her body because it didn't look like the frames that models and celebrities were sporting in the magazines she read. Everything changed when she read about a plus size model competition, which she entered and won.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Peeky was first signed with an agency in Holland and then other agents around the world followed. She has worked for Vogue, Marina Rinaldi, Elena Miro, Anna Scholz, Evans, Lane Bryant, Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Lord & Taylor, Dillards, and more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Working as a plus size model did not only teach Peeky how to accept her body, but it lead to a genuine love of her curves. Her goal is to get rid of the "only one body type is beautiful" concept as we know it in fashion and strive toward an industry where all shapes and sizes are embraced.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Why photography?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There's a simple thrill of pressing the shutter and then the enjoyment of looking at that moment as much as you want. And I love the way photographs age. It's so magical to me.</blockquote>
<b>Who is your favorite photographer of all time?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
It's so tough to choose just one. Excluding the living, it would be hard to find a Herb Ritts image I didn't like. Of those who are here now? I'd go with Nick Knight.</blockquote>
<b>What inspires you?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
California. I just moved to Los Angeles three years ago. The people, ideas, and natural beauty around here completely enchant me.</blockquote>
<b>What do you look for when selecting a model to work with?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Assuming they have a good look, I want to work with someone who has a great attitude, ability to transform on camera, and confidence.</blockquote>
<b>What kind of camera/equipment do you use?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Right now, my workhorse is the Canon 5dIII.</blockquote>
<b>What is your favorite project you have worked on?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
It's really true - I love them all. But the first one where I actually got paid will always be pretty special.</blockquote>
<b>What is your personal style?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Clothes with simple washing instructions! That's why jeans work for me - they tell you at the store to never wash them. Okay great!</blockquote>
<b>What genre does your work focus on?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I'm a commercial/editorial shooter. I love shooting people and capturing their confidence.</blockquote>
<b>What is your favorite band or song of all time?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
So unfair! I'll go with T.Rex - Electric Warrior. The album has this gem, "You have the universe reclining in your hair..."</blockquote>
<b>What is your most embarrassing moment professionally?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The time I asked a model to put on this dress we made out of rugs. </blockquote>

Russel Frank's love and passion for the fashion industry began when he was a Visual Merchandise Manager - from dressing mannequins and window displays to creating a story with apparel in a retail environment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Russel attended the Art Institute of Phoenix, majoring in Fashion Marketing, and earned his degree in 2011. After graduating, Russel relocated to Las Vegas, where he has continued to pursue his career in fashion. He is the Stylist Director for the Fashion Week Las Vegas Runway, in addition to working as a freelance wardrobe stylist. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Why wardrobe stylist?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a wardrobe stylist I feel I am able to express myself and my creative side with fashion. Styling tells a story through wardrobe as my source of media. A painter uses paint brushes and paint, a writer uses the pen, and I use wardrobe and accessories to tell my story. A designer can do the same thing, but I feel as a stylist, I can manipulate and elevate the look of a designer's dress from what he/she may have originally intended for it to be. I have to be conscious of the scenery, the hair, the makeup - everything that goes into the image is manipulated by the wardrobe stylist.</blockquote>
<b>Who is your favorite wardrobe stylist of all time?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Grace Coddington, Fashion Editor for Vogue. She manipulates wardrobe to help create such beautiful images. What she uses to style, the layers of wardrobe, the textures, the colors.</blockquote>
<b>What inspires you?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Everything inspires me! I don't really look into trends and fashion magazines, I look at fashion itself. I look for inspiration from the collections that designers put out. What can I use from that collection to make amazing editorial pieces? Instagram inspires me, from the people I follow to the hashtags I look up, I find a lot of different inspirational images that lead to something more. I always try to surround myself with other artists to keep amazing creativity flowing.</blockquote>
<b>What do you look for when selecting a model to work with?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Some people look to see if they are a signed model or not. I don't believe in that. I look for the measurements. First thing - are they tall, right body frame, the total package? Next is their portfolio. What kind of model are we seeking? Blonde, brunette, redhead, short hair, long hair, etc...I mostly like to lean towards long hair - it just gives us more options to work with.</blockquote>
<b>What is your favorite store to shop at or brand?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I don't necessarily have a favorite brand or store. If I am looking for something or going on a shopping splurge, I tend to lean towards Express, Topshop, Zara, Forever 21, or H & M. I always find something I want or need. I am a huge fan of DSquared, Tom Ford, and John Varvatos as menswear designers. Trina Turk (Mr. Turk) has an amazing and bright vibrant wardrobe. A little too bright for my personal style, but I love that sense of style; the collection is so flamboyant. I can appreciate that label.</blockquote>
<b>What is your favorite project you have worked on?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
There have been so many! I would have to say working Fashion Week. I meet so many people; it's an amazing week every 6 months. I love it. Working with 50 plus models, the hair team, the makeup team, the designers - I build such close relationships with everyone. It gives me such a high that I dread going back to the real world. </blockquote>
<b>What is your personal style?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
When I am on set, I'm so laid back - jeans and a t-shirt. But that depends on my team. There are certain people I work with who I know love to post BTS (behind the scenes) pics, so I have to make sure I look decent enough for them. I would say I tend to lean towards a preppy, layered look. I love a good button up shirt with a cardigan, chinos, and some slip on Toms. Add a fabric belt, some bracelets and a watch - I'm happy!</blockquote>
<b>What genre does your work focus on?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I'm more of an edgy, editorial stylist. I need that drama, that texture, that oooohhh la la amazing style. Raise the bar!</blockquote>
<b>What is your favorite band or song of all time?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
My favorite song? No one would guess it. Ice Cube's <i>You Can Do It</i> from the Player's Club soundtrack. It's literally the only type of song in that genre I have in my playlist. </blockquote>

<style>
</style><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">There are a lot of photographers
now-a-days, easily a hundred times more than the “film days". Then, I’d
speculate there was a certain discipline and respect for the process. Film’s
expensive and developing it on the fly a meticulous process that requires a
certain technical/chemical aptitude. Now a visit to Best Buy and 30 minutes
worth of YouTube tutorials and everyone thinks they can throw their hat in the
ring and contend. I'm one of the Best Buy generation of photographers. Without
mentorship, or education it's been a fairly painstaking process riddled with
growing pains. Every now and then I really want my hat back. Thank God for
YouTube tutorials right?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I'm
glad however I'm not a member of the old guard. I can't imagine seeing the
landscape of this industry shift from the glory days of big budgets to this at
times flailing amputee of a trade that it is. If I had that means of
comparison, I'd lose my mind. Being a photographer was a trade and now for a
majority of photographers more of an accessory, a fad or something
lightheartedly tossed around like wearing old Canon AE-1.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">To the
old guard, the ability to adapt and evolve is incalculable and the only thing
that will enable many of you more seasoned artists and staples of our industry
to continue moving forward. Without that capacity you're a dinosaur, a docile
exhibit or catalogue of days passed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">There are however exceptions and beacons of hope. It's
encouraging to talk to a tried and true artist who's been able to contend and
bridge the chasm. When you see an artist maintain status and relevance through
compelling imagery, an unmistakable brand and that ability to evolve. It’s
a good thing, a very good thing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">I
recently sat down with Antoine Verglas, a photographer who was shooting these definitive 90’s supermodels while I was still playing with plastic toy soldiers.
He’s an institution, easily one of the most influential photographers of our
era.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">(1)In
the 1990s Antoine Verglas introduced a new style of fashion photography when he
captured models Stephanie Seymour, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer and Cindy
Crawford in a series of intimate, documentary style photographs that ran in
several international editions of <i>Elle</i> magazine. Prior to that fashion
editorials were highly poised. Antoine Verglas' photographs were more candid
and uninhibited, with natural light. The guy is legendary; then and
now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">In
an ever multiplying landscape of artists the only way to stay relevant, to stay
ahead of the pack really, is to be the best... or damn close. <span style="color: blue;"></span><span style="color: blue;"> </span></span><br />

J Lynne, born Jessica Lynne Harris, is a model out of Philadelphia, PA. She has done fashion, commercial, runway, and everything in between; with her versatile look, she is able to cover the spectrum. Being tall and slim her whole life, she has always been told she should get into this industry, but focusing on academics at the urge of her mother, she paid it no mind. However, during her first year of college in Dallas, TX, tryouts were being held for America's Next Top Model only two train stops away. Too convenient to pass up, J Lynne attended the auditions, having no previous modeling experience. Out of the 15,000 girls who tried out, she made it to the final 32! Ever since then she has built her portfolio with a fashion and commercial focus, and is now agency represented in Philadelphia by the Reinhard Agency. To date she has taken part in many runway gigs, including NYFW and MBFW-NYC.</div>

Building his first darkroom at the age of 9, Josh Sailor has always been in love with photography. And beauty. Starting with a fascination of architecture and shape, evolving over the years towards a true love of the human spirit and forms it takes, Josh's eye focuses with love and adoration on all that is human beauty. From crisp, clean, and colorful imagery, to edgy, revealing and sexy B&W work, beauty is his theme and passion. Whether lifestyle, fashion, or commercial - all work is "beauty photography" to Josh.</div>

<b>Who is your favorite photographer of all time?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My favorite photographer of all time has to be Helmut Newton, for his love of the stark and sexy form and black and white capture.</blockquote>
<b>What inspires you?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Beauty is always my inspiration. Whether the beauty of a desert landscape, a sunset, a baby's clear face, a great-looking figure, or a perfect face.</blockquote>
<b>What do you look for when selecting a model to work with?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The number one thing I look for in a model is a sense of mystery...a feeling that I'd want to know them. The second is professionalism. I want a model to make my job easier and make the client and myself look great.</blockquote>
<b>What kind of camera/equipment do you use?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I love Nikon optics and low-light clarity for my natural light work, but prefer Hasselblad medium format for studio capture because of its density and smooth gradations.</blockquote>
<b>What is your personal style?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I like to think of my personal style as a mixture of lone-cowboy and Euro-weenie.</blockquote>
<b>What is your favorite project you have worked on?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Certainly my favorite project of all time is the book I have just completed the photography for and am now editing. To complete it, I had to photography 52 models on 52 separate shoots. It's tentatively titled "52." A book about beauty - a true labor of love. </blockquote>

After a bit of a hiatus, I'm back to answer some more Ask Joey questions! Of course, the questions that come up most often involve finding an agent. For anyone looking to be signed for the first time, or to move up to a bigger agency or market, your best bet is usually to go the commercial route. Unfortunately, not everyone can have a career in fashion modeling simply because they want to. This generally boils down to your stats. If you don't have the right measurements, 99% of the odds are immediately stacked against you. Start with commercial agents in your market and build from there!<br />

Am I considered more commercial than fashion?</b><br />

At 5'8" they will consider you more commercial. You do have a fashion look, but in LA, they (agents who rep fashion) will not work with you unless you have the height. Your portfolio is all fashion shots, so I would suggest adding some new commercial head shots and getting out and meeting with commercial agents. I think, in LA, you will find more success in that area.</blockquote>

You have a fashion look, but you are too short for fashion work. Change your book - it reeks of fashion. Go commercial and then you will book more work. A talent agent is definitely the way to go.

You need a commercial agent but will probably have difficulty finding one with your current pictures. You only have one look with a different hat in each photo on your MWN profile.

<b>Who is your favorite model of all time?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ever since I was a little girl, I was fascinated by this big supermodel "Brooke Shields." I was compared to her a lot growing up as a "mini" Brooke Shields because we both got attention for our heavy eyebrows, dark hair, and blue eyes. Tons of other top models, such as Hilary Rhoda and Cara Delevingne, have followed in her footsteps by flaunting some wicked eyebrows. I was super excited when I finally had the opportunity to meet and work with Brooke on a TV show in NYC!</blockquote>
<b>What do you look for when selecting a photographer to work with?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I always look at composition choices made by the photographers in their work (lighting, angle, and all-over style)... I consider lighting to be one of the most important things.</blockquote>
<b>What is your personal style?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
My style is very eclectic! I just go with my mood for the day... One of my favorites is a pair of short cut-off jean shorts and a loose t-shirt with a pair of low-heeled ankle boots. I also have a love for leggings, and I have a favorite pair of flat footed thigh-high boots that get worn regularly. One thing is for sure though, I design metal jewelry and can almost always be seen wearing one of my signature necklaces with any outfit! </blockquote>
<b>What genre does your work focus on?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I'm lucky that I can cross over to book work in both the fashion and commercial modeling worlds, and I love each of them equally! My experience is in print, editorial, beauty, runway, showroom, fit modeling, video (TV shows, commercials, industrials, etc.), and spokesmodeling. </blockquote>
<b>What is your most embarrassing moment professionally?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I was between shots on set with a stylist who was tucking in my shirt and reaching under my skirt to pull the shirttail down. This isn't the embarrassing part...I'm fairly desensitized to these sorts of "happenings" during a shoot. The embarrassing part is when she gave an extra tug, looked up at me, and said "oops." That's when I realized that she accidentally pulled my underwear down. I think, with her reaction, I was more embarrassed for her than myself! </blockquote>

Angelique Cerniglia is a professional makeup artist based in Los Angeles whose love of color has whirled her into the world of fashion as well. The makeup palette was a very fitting inspiration for Angelique. "I've always loved to travel, experiencing new things...and always loved looking at fashion. Women all over the world want to feel and look confident in their appearance," she says. Angelique is compelled to apply her admiration for color, texture, and fashion trends to whatever "look" she is creating for a particular project. "When I was a kid, I used coloring books like crazy. Makeup and fashion melt into one another, I believe." Being true to the idea that confidence comes from within, so when you feel beautiful you exude that beauty, is definitely a strong motivation for this Atlanta-born makeup artist.</div>

I cannot live without my Laura Mercier foundation! It's very natural looking, smoothes out the skin tone without giving a cakey or heavy look. Looks very fresh and flawless!</blockquote>
<b>What inspires you?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Fashion definitely inspires me, also color, art, and depending on the actual project I'm working on as to where I'll look for my inspiration.</blockquote>
<b>What genre does your work focus on?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
My work focuses mostly on beauty, editorial, and glamour, but I'm not just limited to those specific genres. I just love doing what I do, so as long as I'm doing makeup and transforming faces, I am content! </blockquote>
<b>What do you look for when selecting a model to work with?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
It really depends on the specific project. For example, if it's a commercial print job, I look for someone that has that commercial look (girl-next-door type), and for fashion/editorial, it depends on the actual shoot and what the product or wardrobe is, and which particular model can pull it off. Of course, beautiful skin is a plus in my book! </blockquote>

You want to make sure that you are presenting yourself in the most marketable way possible and are not limiting your opportunities in the commercial world. It's okay to pepper these shots in, but too much can ruin your entire book. If you need/want new photos, I always recommend reaching out to other MWN members and get a collaboration going! Contact photographers, hair & makeup, wardrobe, whatever you need! You're all on the site for the same reason, so get those creative juices flowing.<br />

To be honest, I'm not crazy about your pictures. You are a commercial type model and live in Chicago, which is a big commercial market. I would suggest getting some new pictures, definitely including some commercial head shots, and then get out there and get an agent. There are a lot in your city, both large and boutique, that you can try to meet with/submit to. Reach out to photographers on MWN and see if there is anyone in your area who has shots on their profile you like and see if they would be willing to work with you.

You are in a small market for TV and commercial print. There's not much going on there, but definitely more opportunities in New Orleans or Shreveport, if those are commutable distances for you. You will also be competing in an age group that is packed with actors who have been doing it forever, however you photograph well. I would suggest taking some acting classes so you will be able to compete with those that have been in the business for a while. It will help you commercially.</blockquote>

I like your look - it's very commercial. You have enough pictures, and a variety, to find an agent. Luckily, you live in the heart of the industry! Get out there and make appointments with agents. They will tell you what they need to market you, and if they want you to get new/additional photos. I don't think you need to change the portfolio you currently have in order to find an agent.</blockquote>

Forget fashion, you don't have the height. However, you DO have a very marketable commercial look. Your pictures are too stylized like a dance. I would suggest getting some new pictures that are less dance focused. Try to set up some meetings with commercial agents in San Francisco. They can advise you on what types of pictures they need to add to your portfolio. The photos you have now will get you in the door, but you'll need to get some new ones once you're there.</blockquote>

I can't stress the importance of finding a commercial agent - no matter what type of modeling or acting you want to pursue. Most professionals get their start in commercials, and even if you've got the height and proportions for fashion modeling, you will find a lot of opportunities in the commercial world. Once you've got a few good shots, get to your nearest major market and meet with agents. What are you waiting for?!<br />

You have a really good commercial look. Are you near Los Angeles or San Francisco? Where is your agent located? If he/she is in not in one of those bigger markets and is located somewhere smaller, I would suggest trying to get a new (or another) agent in a larger market. If you're working out of a smaller market, I'm assuming there aren't a lot of choices as far as agencies go. However, I will say, that the fact you're getting a lot of auditions means you/your agent are doing something right. If you're not booking, try asking a photographer or casting director you've seen a lot (and feel comfortable with) if they have any advice on what you could do to get that extra edge and transform your auditions into callbacks, avails, and bookings.</blockquote>

Luckily, your look is "in" right now. You photograph well and are in a decent sized market with a substantial amount of agencies. You're ready to get out there and meet with them. Also, in your market, you can do fashion at 5'8" and that's not always the case. I would suggest making appointments to get in front of agents. You have enough shots in your portfolio to get meetings and an agent can help you build your book from there.</blockquote>

I would make sure all of your headshots look your age and that you look like your picture in person. Let casting place you in an age group based on the projects and what they're looking for. From your pictures, I would probably consider your age range 18-25. It's a good range to be in. Play young as long as you can. There are a lot of college/young professional roles out there. You'd fall into that same age range for commercial print too, in my opinion.</blockquote>

I love your look - it's very commercial. You look like an actress and you have the skills after all that time performing in front of people. I would get out there and get a commercial/talent agent (if you don't already have one) and let them help you build your portfolio. You've got enough photos already to at least get in the door and get meetings. You're a bit too short for fashion modeling, but could definitely work commercially.

You have good commercial headshots in your portfolio already - definitely enough to get meetings. I would also suggest commercial acting classes if you aren't already taking them.

<b>What inspires you?</b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I find inspiration in a lot of things from film to music, however photographically I find inspiration in simpler forms and shapes. I also love the collaborative process, whether it's from a member of the crew or the model. I find the collaboration to reveal elements that expand my previous visions.</blockquote>
<b>What do you look for when selecting a model to work with?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Usually I start with the eyes and the energy behind them. I tend to like mystery and a lot of times you can see darkness or energy behind a person's eyes. If they don't have that, then it's an uphill battle to develop the shoot in other ways. The best shoots are often times the most basic, when it's just a model and me or a small crew.</blockquote>
<b>What kind of camera/equipment do you use?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Hasselblad with a Phase One system or a Canon 6, 7 or 5D.</blockquote>
<b>What genre does your work focus on?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I don't limit myself to labels. I've shot fashion mostly, but then I graduated from art school so there is a huge film and painting influences there, plus a ton of nudes. I also do a lot of portraits and location work, but overall I can say that I love people, so my interests lie in the visual conversation.</blockquote>
<b>What is your personal style?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Very laid back. I try to have fun on every shoot and my goal is to extend that energy on the whole shoot. I have never had a bad experience on a shoot, as I've heard from other people's stories. I'm a West Coast person, but spent most of my life in NYC, so I feel I have the best of being relaxed but focused. </blockquote>

My favorite project was definitely the "Killa Kam" music video. The title is deceiving, but the talent is not! It was a great experience working with amazingly talent people who are completely invested in what they do.</blockquote>
<b>What is your personal style?</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
When I am on set or with a client, my style is very classic. I tend to wear black because it always looks uniform, but I try to wear tailored and feminine pieces that keep my "uniform" looking upscale and professional.</blockquote>
