I'm a Miami-based photographer but love to travel for the perfect picture!
I like to think I have a very classic style, with a youthful twist.
I think a wedding is the most amazing experience to capture on film
I'm a Nikon user, an Apple lover and Nike Fanatic!
You will always see an issue of GQ, Complex and Vogue Magazine on my coffee table (Yes, Vogue has some of the most amazing photographers ever!)
I run daily, not to stay in shape but to support my eating habit.
L-10 is my nickname, get it... EL-TEN (Elton)
There is beauty in everyone and everything.... my goal is to capture it.
I only get to see my niece a few times a year and I’m always amazed at how fast she’s growing. Thanksgiving was her 1st Birthday and the in-laws invited my side of the family to Carthage, MS [I'm sure you've never heard of it] to celebrate the holiday and stuff our faces. Here’s Deja…. she can’t quite walk but she’s a pro at standing up!
Living in Miami has its perks — I love the weather, the beaches and the diverse culture. In fact, I can see myself living here for the next couple of years but there are a few things that I miss from living in an environment with four seasons. Definitely NOT the snow, but everything else that comes along with the Autumn weather… especially the leaves. I’ve been doing some business in ATL for the last few days and grabbed a quick shot on the way to the car.
I’m not just a people photographer folks… apparently, I shoot cars too (well for today atleast). Today, a buddy of mine who happens to own a very successful after-market customization shop (he pimps rides) needed some pictures taken for one of his vendors. Mind you I have NO experience shooting cars, rims, spoilers, etc but as you can see I’m always up for a challenge. The hardest part was figuring out the best angles for the car (it turns out even Mustangs have their good sides). After a little trial and error, I think I finally got the hang of it. Big shout out to Alex and Dave for the referral!
Fashion photography intimidates me…. I’ll admit it. So when my friend Chavis asked for a quick photoshoot before his casting today I was a little reluctant. I was even MORE reluctant when I realized that I had to style the whole shoot as well.
After I threw a few things together, we literally knocked this shoot out in 15 minutes right behind my apartment. Here’s a few black & whites until the next shoot.
Chavis is currently signed with 301 Models.
****Update****
Chavis’ agent actually liked the pics and wanted us do some more testing shots… check those out by clicking here.
The 2008 wedding season is finally over and I couldn’t have ended it with a better couple! You may remember Shawn and Courtney from my previous blog post of their engagement session back in July. We had so much fun during that shoot, but nothing could prepare me for the amazing time I had at their wedding. The ceremony was beautiful, the food was delicious and the reception was ridiculous. They definitely took the cake for best wedding guests.
I actually owe this all to Shawn’s mother, Camille, who found me on the internet (she’s the google master by the way) and was a pleasure to finally meet in person. Shawn and Courtney are headed on a two week honeymoon and I wish them the best during their trip.
