Landscape Love

I thought I would share 3 landscape…
Monday Inspiration
Many people ask photographers what inspires them and for me, it is not one person, place or idea. I am inspired by many things from other photographers, to art, to fashion and life in general. I would like to post about what my inspirations are every monday and hope to inspire others with these new…
Pallavi Das
I worked with one of D&A Management’s international models last season and decided to post about this shoot today. Pallavi was such an amazing model and so easy to work with, I loved how she pulled off every look so well from the biker/grunge look to the soft gypsy field look. The amazing styling was…

Cillicious Bakery supplied us with adorable cupcakes that had makeup elements…

This was the shoot that created my love for fashion photography. I photographed this shoot in the beginning of my final year of college and from then on, fashion was all I photographed. This shoot was also the start of a long photographic relationship with Lisa Harrison, a great model who I often work with…
Vintage Vixen
I collaborated with LoneFolk quite some time ago to create this vintage story and, today I am feeling for some vintage living so I thought I would post about this shoot that I didn’t blog about on my old blog. This shoot was another “day in the life” themed shoot. This was…
