This week we set up our second shoot with Pin Up Players model & local tattoo artist Azarja Van Der Veen. Zar is not only a talented artist, but she's also an excellent collaborator. Comfortable with suggesting ideas as she is in front of the camera, Zar emotes a certain subtlety that keeps things simple, yet compelling.
Kimberly Swayze stepped up as make up artist once again as we used similar themes as in our recent Quicksilver set. Kimberly's color coordination was the perfect combination for the existing color scheme and she has an amazing eye for matching individuals with their best looks.
For this new set we used a combination of colors and textures to create a sense of nostalgia with a modern twist. However, this is the first time the hues were done in-camera, using colored filters projected by our studio lighting.

WELCOME
With a passion for fine arts, I aim to create stunning images which blur the line between genres. Working with everything from portraits to landscapes, my portfolio is filled with very diverse imagery, yet manages to keep the common theme of creativity abundant throughout.
Showing all over the Tri-State area, my work has also been published in print and online. Bridging the gap between commercial and fine art, my images have also been utilized for ad campaigns as well as album covers.
