This series featuring Zhane Clarke focuses on the "Walk of Shame" that comes attached to being Drunk or hungover. It shows the different stages starting from:
- Stumbling in from the party to your hotel room.
- Continued drinking and maybe rolling a joint and get high.
- The constant rush to the bathroom to pee
- Passing out.
- Waking up with a hangover.
- The "Walk of Shame" to the closest corner store for pills to help with the hangover.

Based in Kingston, Jamaica, and frequent South Florida, Selena expressed to me that she wanted to do something "very New York City". It was obvious that she was in a NY state of mind. We went with something fashion-forward. This shoot was inspired by William Klein's street fashion photography. We recreated our version of one of his popular taxi / yellow cab shots.

City Hall Wedding Photography (INSTANT PACKAGE) $125.00
City Hall Wedding Photography (2 Day Package) $300.00
City Hall Wedding Photography (Landmark Package) $850.00
The Instant Package
This package is the most popular of the lot. The client gets all the BASIC SERVICES, which includes coverage of before, during, and after the ceremony. The client receives production rights to the images as well as the free witness (the photographer). What's special about this package is that the client receives the images immediately after completing the session. The photographer hands over the SD card at the end and keeps no record of the wedding.
PROS
- Immediate access to wedding photos
- Great for tourists/visiting couples with a tight schedule
- Budget-Friendly (cheapest of all the packages)
CONS
- Recieve pictures "as is." The photographer doesn't edit the images.
- Get more images than needed as the photographer didn't get to choose the absolute best (it can be overwhelming when browsing through)
The 2 Day Package
The "2 Day Package" is the most commonly used package from the clients who researched before choosing their package. It's cheap, it's fast, and it delivers everything you need within 48 hours. With this package, you get all the BASIC SERVICES, but unlike the Instant Package, the images will be culled through, edited, and delivered within 48 hours.
PROS
- Photographer chooses the best images to be delivered.
- Images are edited before delivery.
- Digital Delivery via an online gallery
- Option to buy prints and/or create a wedding album with your choice of wedding images
CONS
- Have to wait 48 hours (unlike the instant package) to get the wedding photos
The Landmark Package
The Landmark Package is the cream of the crop. It is as close as you will get to capture your wedding day as you would the traditional wedding. The client gets all the perks of the "2 Day Package," but in addition to that, they get to shoot at any public landmark of their choice before or after the ceremony. Instead of edited images being delivered in 48 hours, these will be delivered within four days.
PROS
- Wedding photoshoot at one of NYC's amazing landmarks
- Edits tailored to landmark concept
- Photographer chooses the best images to be delivered.
- Images are edited before delivery.
- Digital Delivery via an online gallery
- Option to buy prints and/or create a wedding album with your choice of wedding images
CONS
- Have to wait four days (unlike the instant package or 2 day package) to get the wedding photos

This shoot was inspired by Naomi Campbell's Valentino photoshoot. In my opinion, she has things about her that remind me of Naomi Campbell. She does NOT look like Naomi, but it's my opinion that they have similarities in features. They both have similar body types. They both have unique facial structures... in addition to those, their skin complexions are head turners. Frankly, I think Haley could use Naomi's career as a blueprint to jump-start her own.
I think she is, without a doubt, capable of getting signed with a reputable agency. Hopefully, it doesn't turn out that she signs with "just another" agency because they approached her before she was discovered by some of the more successful and established agencies. Follow her growth on Instagram.

Since moving to NYC, I haven't been able to plant my feet on the ground firmly. I got here at the beginning of winter, which is not suitable for a natural light photographer. When things were about to start looking up as we approached warmer weather in March, COVID-19 decided to show its ugly face. Summer came, and we were finally getting the opportunity to get a percentage of our ordinary life back. Still, the summer seemed shorter than usual, and I have to be already finding ways and figuring out how to create content. The subway series is one way.
I've always been fascinated with New York's texture and big city vibe, so I decided to use it to my advantage. It is warm, it had different looks for each station in each borough, and the lighting is the same, whether it's daytime or night time.
Keilahri, Keilahri... What can I say about Keilahri? Not much, I guess. She is the model with the physical features, posing capabilities, and mindset that a photographer (namely me) would want as a MUSE. She is bold, confident, spontaneous, risque, and has a work ethic that rivals anyone I've shot with before.
In this shoot, she styled herself and did her makeup. All I had to do is show up.

Ella and I have been talking about shooting for months but she lives in Boston and it quite frankly just wasn't convenient for us to get together and create. Finally, I got a message from her saying she will be visiting New York City and I was happy and eager to make plans to meet and shoot. Without the luxury of being able to pick and choose a day with a suitable forecast to shoot, we ended up shooting on a very cold morning. I must say that she was a trooper... she sucked it up and did the job without complaining. Hats off to Ella.
I contacted them both to do a photoshoot, and they were down to if availability permitted them. I want to say," and the rest is history," but we almost didn't get to shoot. I was lucky enough to get 90 minutes with the couple the day before they left. It happened on the way to a gig, which they ended up getting too late to give us more time to create.
The concept (on the fly) was to capture a power couple doing some street fashion looks. We did both solo shots and shots as a couple.

Marisol is a nudist at heart. She understands that a woman's body is one of God's Greatest Works Of Art, but I enjoy having her dress up and show the fashionable side of her which most photographers seem to overlook. She's an amazing model with an amazing sense of style.
This shoot was shot in Jersey City by the Hudson River which separates us from Lower Manhattan. It was extremely cold, but oh so beautiful. She left an important part of the original outfit so she quickly put together one that I was satisfied with. Not only satisfied, but I was impressed. See the video to get details about the outfit change.

Vaunter noun: vaunter

When the Vaunter clothing company approached me to do this shoot, I jumped at the opportunity. The line shows so much promise. Found by Orrett McKenzie, a person that vaunts daily, it accurately represents everything the word signifies. The brand is bright and colorful and any person wearing any of its' pieces will grab the attention of any room he/she enters. To Vaunt is to Brag or to Boast!
This shoot was shot in Brooklyn, New York at DUMBOs (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass) by Kali Artistry

As the video above explained, this shoot was a simple, classy, and yet fashionable shoot. We needed somewhere clean, warm, and quiet to be able to execute this concept properly. Roosevelt Island was the perfect location for what we wanted. Lisbeth and I worked towards executing this shoot effectively by doing a series of practice shoot so we could build work chemistry and get the mood/facial expressions down for the concept. I am happy with the results.

The headshot session turned into something deep and sexy. It's called “CAGED WITH CONFIDENCE“. Deep words by Yuli Genes complemented by images that reflect her beauty, self-love, self-motivation, self-acceptance, self-awareness, self rejuvenation, her will power, and her gigantic self-confidence. She discusses the Stages to overcoming the challenges we face daily... Gives her advice for it and used a unique way of grabbing our attention to take heed of what she is saying. I present to you... Yuli Genes
Part 1
A person's biggest strength or biggest weakness is his or her confidence and SELF LOVE! Stop complaining about how bad you look or what you wish you can change, stand in front of the mirror and “fake it until you believe it”, tell yourself how beautiful or handsome you are because there will always be someone saying what they hate and love about you, don’t be that person...
Part 2
This is where things get tough.. we lose ourselves thinking that there’s another way to numb the pain, to make it all go away. So we change our appearance, we change our actions, we always say we are okay. We start using drugs, we drown in alcohol happy but then at the end of the night we look back in the mirror encountering the damage we do to oneself to our health then we’re crying all over again, listen to me 👂 let’s not let it get this far. Once we’ve noticed that we need something or someone else other than ourselves we seek help, any help! A friend; mom, dad, your dog bro. Toxicity is contagious so let’s clean ourselves, I’m sure we can find a YouTube video of how to feel at peace with yourself look for it! Did you notice I said “we” a lot? That’s because we’re all in this together...
Finale (Part 3)
Now, this is where we HEAL!
We notice the cellulite, we notice the stretch marks, if you’re a male you notice the gain in weight or too much loss in weight, acne, and scars, were too short or too tall. When we were damaged we were destroyed and hidden in a corner, now in the process of healing we embrace it or we change what we don’t like in a healthy way. No more body shaming because now we know we’re more than just our physical bodies, we party in front of the mirror with ALEXA laughing at the fact that we once felt low about ourselves and all this time it was all in our heads, cause at the end there are people out there that love us for what we look or act upon. Now we realize we could have always been ourselves but we were to busy thinking about what they would say and not what !!“I”!! Would say, Now We HEAL... THE END...

The style of edit (vintage/classic) was not so much about what I wanted people to think or how I wanted them to react... but was about what the mood in the images says to me. The mood was calm, effortless, cluttered, and NATURAL. Natural to the core... Old film cameras used to give you what you shot and nothing more. No Photoshop, no smoothing of the skin. You get the RAW image of what you saw when the picture was taken. That is something I've always appreciated. Vintage is something I appreciate.

Even though its November, Miami still has that beautiful warm and sunny weather and she was able to enjoy it. It's a lot different from the Bay Area where it gets pretty chilly and foggy all the time.

I have soooo many techniques that i have figured out and developed on my own... it's only right to share and help with the growth of the art I fell so deeply in love with. Let me know what you think in the comments below and also ask questions about the video if there is something that isn't clear. Promise I will address all questions in a timely manner.
