Yaya Kosikova + Kate Netolicka

A couple weeks back I made it to the Ford Models Party.  But like so many of my interactions with modeling agencies, I know them through phone calls and e-mails.  So when I walk in, it is totally dark and the music is thumping.....I don't recognize anyone but a few super hot models whose books had been sent to me, but I never hired.  That isn't really the conversation starter you want.  So after bumming around chatting a few minutes here and there with some industry acquaintances, I am literally out the door when I run into the super gorgeous Kate Netolicka.  I photographed her for my Trains series with Susana Monaco.  She is so sweet.  Her and her cool friend Yaya Kosikova invite me to hang out for a while, and save my night from being a bore. 

Last week we finally got together to shoot.  Here is the first look, cinema style.  I will post more shots of the different looks in the near future.

Photographed in my Manhattan studio with Canon 5D Mark II and an 85mm 1.2 lens.  Makeup by Oz Rodriquez. Models:  Kate Netolicka, New York Models and Yaya Kosikova, Ford Models.

Thanks!

Jennifer Massaux in Black and White

I tried to post this on Twitter the other day during the shoot. One of the new things I am trying to do is take a camera phone shot of the back of the camera and tweet it right there on the spot. In this Photoshop world, it is kind of a cool insight, un-retouched, often with the camera settings right there on display.

However, yfrog removed this photo. I think it is super sexy, but not so in a way to get it removed. But here is anyway via Wordpress, tumblr and Twitter.

This is not straight off the camera. When the model photographed this shot on my computer screen with her iPhone, it added contrast and a haze. I thought it looked cool, so I added my own in Photoshop and Nik Color Efex. The model is the gorgeous Jennifer Massaux from Ford Models.

Thanks!
