The GIRLS who make it happen!!!

Roberto Dutesco and The Wild Horses of Sable Island

Never before have I become so obsessed, emotional, moved and touched by a body of work. I think that on some level every artist seeks out the idea of leaving behind a legacy of work deeper and more profound then the commercial work they are commissioned to do and that is the essence of this collection.
The images themselves are EXQUISITE and the story behind them simply amazing. The artist has hand written the latitude/ longitude as well as something enchanting, poetic and magical at the bottom of each print which I think adds a nice personal touch. Roberto Dutesco has captured the spirit of the animals and it is brilliant. I think its the first time I've ever met an artist who's soul seemed to be at peace.
And that's what moves me to tears.

Studio Gear Skin Care

Studio Gear Cosmetics have amazing skin care products. Here are some outtakes from my product shoot on Friday. The splashing water images below are running in In Styles Special Make Over Issue as an ad with Ulta Cosmetics.

VOL DE BIJOUX (this is not a love song)

This classic FILM NOIR shoot was a personal triumph in precise technical lighting. Hair, make up and props were delivered flawlessly by Kim Weber make up, Mako for hair and Cynthia Altoriso who is not only a FAB prop and wardrobe stylist, but an extremely well informed historian. Equipped with a selection of beautifully shot silent and classic NOIR films, (Great Expectations, Sunrise and Brief Encounter to name a few), we indulged in divine and opulent research and creative meetings, enjoying wine and outdoor gardens for film viewing. Our shots and storyline developed and became both marketable for beauty and visually intoxicating filled with shadows, silhouettes and a sense of mystery.

Sidenote: Sybarite, one who indulges in luxury and decadence.

Look at our gorgeous model Claudia Reba with Trump models at the beginning of our photo shoot! Wow the transformation never ceases to amaze me!


The notorious Femme Fatale sprays Chanel 22. Enchanted with her reflection, she silently embarks on her mission, steals the precious jewels, returns home and dramatically removes her disguise. (chapeau courtesy of moi ;) Glamorously, she smokes a cigarette after yet another successful jewelry heist. Vol de Bijoux en Francais. Oui, bien sur, smoking is no longer glamorous, as much as I still covet the idea. Our last shot is only reflective of the period in which it was. Inhale.....exhale.
