The 2009 Collection of Malan Breton

Check out these photos from the 2009 Collection of Project Runway's Malan Breton.  The Show was presented by '6 Degrees' at Splash Bar.  Join them every Wednesday for what's hot in fashion.  Thanks to Malan, Geraldine, Dougie and the Gang for having me snap all the action!

Upcoming Shoot!!

I am so very excited about the shoot I have coming up on Tuesday.  It is my first time working with a beautiful new girl that I found at a Cafe in Tribeca.  She is tall, slender, has soft but intense features all at once.  I can't wait to test with her and see what we come up with.  I found myself getting ahead of myself actually.  I was already planning the BIG SHOOT before I even knew if she could take a simple picture!  See, she has never posed for a camera before.  I think that is part of what makes me so excited.  A new discovery!

I have got to get myself organized!  I have four shoots in the works and two models still to contact.  I am trying to take my time and not move to fast with things.  I really think I have a great crop of people so I need to make sure I get the right work out of them.  The new portfolio and site is on the way and I can't afford to screw this up.

Everything will be fine, just relax, breathe, point and shoot!

Introducing : Lady Farah

WHERE WERE

YOU IN

NINETY TWO.

Something New: Introducing Joel

Joel and I just had our first test shoot together recently.   You can expect to see more from him here.  I believe he has something very raw and unique in front of the camera.  Stay tuned....

Something Old: Introducing Kristen Celeste

Kristen was to this day one of the most beautiful people I've ever shot.  Inside and out.  She is my SUPERHERO.

Something Old: Introducing James

This shoot with James has always been one of my favorite pieces of work.  He is at once a mixture of frailty and strength.  Soft with a rough edge.  That is why this series is called 'Delight and the Devil'.

Something New: Introducing Mikey

Mikey is my GLAM-CHILD.  Intense, striking, and may just plain strike you!  One of the only boys I know who may just be more comfortable all painted up then in a simple photo.  I made him a deal.  Photo one, rock it out, go nuts.

Photo two, I'll show you your other half thats just as amazing.

Some Older Work: Introducing Chad

Chad was a friend and one of my earliest muses from the time I picked up the camera.  Chad was always unafraid, always brutally honest.  This series if from our very first shoot together, our first face to face meeting.

I "Love" Fashion Week

Okay, forgive me in advance.  The original design of this blog was to talk about exclusively about what is happening with me and my work as I launch my newest project BRUTAL/BEAUTIFUL.  I promised my boyfriend I would not write one of those silly blogs gushing about my "feelings".   (No offense to those of you who have them)   I will guarantee all of you that the vast MAJORITY of this blog will be a place to view my work and find out about upcoming projects, but I couldnt pass up an opportunity to talk about my first true taste of Fashion Week. This year Valentines Day for me was more then roses and chocolate.  It was my first chance to catch a runway show in Bryant Park.  

The night began meeting up with some friends for the Pat Field show at her store on Bowery.  Nate Freeman (www.4strokejeans.com) and I met up with my good friend Geraldine Laiz who decided to invite us on a bit of a whirlwind tour to introduce Nate and his new 2009 Collection to the fashion media.  (Find out more about my friends at 4 Stroke, and their upcoming launch party in a seperate post coming later this week.)  

We hooked up with Geraldine, model Jameson Beane, and Alyson Campbell of AMP3PR to mingle among the tranny fabulous at PF then rushed off to the Buclker Men's RTW Fall Show at their SOHO store. We had the opportunity to introduce Nate to a ton of great stylist and photographers as well as the amazing Kelly Cutrone from Peoples Revolution.  This was a beautiful men's collection worn by some very beautiful men, of course.  Here's a small sample.

  

After Buckler is was off to the main event.  Geraldine invited us to the show for Monarchy in the tents.  "Smoke and Mirrors" showcase Scotish plaids, bowler hats, and some of the sharpest jackets and sweaters I've seen in quite a while. (So, we'll forgive the Scotish plaids and bowler hats).

               

All in all it was a great introduction to the real scene of fashion week.  But it's far from over! Wednesday I'll hit the tents for the 2009 collection of Alexandre Herchcovitch as an invited guest of Peoples Revolution.  Don't know how I swung that one, but I'm just gonna enjoy it.  More to come on this post when I have all the juicy details!
