The Sun Rises in the East

These photos were taken last year when I went to an art exhibit with one of my good friends, Diana. She left for China already though and wont be back for another year or so. I miss her dearly and we became friends when I went to the College of Mount St. Vincent. She was one of the first friends I made there during orientation and the rest was history. It's crazy to see the years pass us by and then we realize exactly why we made the friends we did. I really do believe that everything has already been planned out for us and that the people we meet are points at a map that lead us to where we are meant to be.  Everything in our lives, even the smallest things are significant guides; we just have to let them in and guide us.

Tudor City

Erica is a aspiring model from Brooklyn who is studying Nursing. She was lovely to work with and her features gave off an innocent and pure expression. She is actually not wearing any makeup in any of the photos above! The shoot was taken at Tudor City, one of my favorite places to visit every now and then. It is a beautiful location filled with trees and victorian looking apartments. It is the first residential skyscaper complex in the world and also one of the reasons why I am in love with the area. You have to climb these stairs to reach it and once you get up there you have the view of Long Island City and the water that separates Manhattan from it. Famous films have been shot there, such as, The Peacemaker, Godfather III, Spiderman 3, Bourne Ultimatum and a few others. 

Elisa

During the month of July I was given the opportunity to shoot beautiful dresses on a beautiful and sweet model named Elisa! I also worked with great stylists, Monica & Victor. Please click here & here to check out their blogs. The theme of this shoot was inspired by film noir. The setting of the shoot was taken at the home of Elisa. Her style and taste emulates old hollywood, so she was the perfect subject for the theme of our shoot!
