Inspired by the great Grace Jones, these images I shot with my one and only stylist and best friend Valerie Duardo and model Leslie Allen from Elite modeling agency.

Night time- City lights.

Last month while in Los Angeles- I photographed model Plastic Martyr. Not only is Plastic Martyr a gender bender model- he is also my muse. These images were inspired from the music videos [La Roux- in for the kill] as well as [Golden Boy ft. Miss Kittin- Rippin Kittin.]




To find out more information on Plastic Martyr- you should definitely check out his website: www.PLASTICMARTYR.com

Very Happy.

I've been obsessed with Marina and the Diamonds for a bit now. Constantly inspired by her music videos, and songs with her beautiful lyrics. I've been inspired by her music video "Hollywood". On a caffeine buzz I took out my camera and took this photo.



I posted it on her music page, her response?


I am a very happy boy right now. :)

Here is the music video from Marina and the Diamonds- Hollywood.

Update.

So it's been a while since I've last expressed in words how I felt, and updated about my life. I just came back from L.A.- I was staying in Beverly Hills for 2 weeks with Malachi and his lovely mother Stephanie. While I was up there, I did several amazing photoshoots, attended Steven Peters fashion show on Melrose, Saw Elizabeth Berkley, and met Marilyn Manson. Mal introduced me to Manson at the Magic Castle- and manson said he loved my photos, and they are very beautiful. I might be photographing him next time I am in Cali- which makes me happy.
