LUIS ARAGON: Commercialness

I’m not one to shoot down people’s hopes and dreams but I’m certainly not in the business of taking someone’s money and blow smoke up their butts. It’s my responsibility as a testing photographer to help models develop and steer them in a path that would help them succeed.

I always run into…

It was a nice change of pace to work on a shoot like this with my husband. It’s mainly what I do for my line of work but I usually use my time with my husband to delve a bit deeper into the fashion work , almost like an outlet. It was nice to change it up with him and I could really see how much he enjoyed it as well. Looking forward to seeing if their may be a bit more of this in our future.

P.S. The Face Atelier new dark shades (#10, #11, and Heat as well as #4 Ultra Sheer) were used for this shoot including the Grandma and Pageant lip tars. Am I getting that predictable? Haha, if it ain’t broke…

EyeWear Editorial with Bill Diodato

What is better than having the opportunity to work on shoots with an awesome team? Having those moments captured on video!

I have always wanted to work with photographer Bill Diodato since admiring his work in several publications, including the local DC Modern Luxury editorials. So when my old friend Ope, an amazing NY Fashion Stylist, asked me on board this client shoot I jumped at the chance. Hair was by a fellow Artists by Timothy Priano artist, Jake D.

The model’s main look was clean with the focus more on the skin and lips since she was wearing a number of different glasses that day.  Face Atelier Ultra Foundation and Obsessive Compulsive Lip Tars definitely dominated the looks that day.

Enjoy!
