Belinda in VICTOR de SOUZA

Model Belinda Baidoo of Ghana. Capricorn. She and I have worked together for years and randomly run into each other all over the city. Without a doubt, one of my favorite girls.
Her features are breathtaking, her body long, lean and toned, and her skin is absolutely flawless. This was an extreme exercise in pulling resources and collaborating last minute with zero production time or budget. Mercury's retrograde definitely affected communication that weekend, so here's proof that miracles can still happen.
Grace Jones meets Lady Gaga immersed in aluminum foil and metallic leathers, set design by Nesto Sutton. The effect is ice and diamonds with a little assistance from photoshop. Storm Pederson dressed Belinda in various pieces of the newest collection by designer Victor de Souza. Hair by Dante Blandshaw and make up by Kim Weber.
Special thanks to Sasha Wyroba for production assistance and my initial introduction to Storm Pederson, which led to this opportunity.

Promotionals and Marketing, A Tangible Souvenir

It's been a difficult year for e-mail campaign blasts, so I decided to order new cards and motivate myself with an old school traditional hard mail. I researched my target demographic which are celebrity clothing brands, record labels and ad agencies who handle movie posters and put together a very specific mailing list. Thanks to the love and support of my mom, immediately after Labor Day Weekend hundreds of cards were mailed via the US Postal Service. A mighty costly endeavor, but one filled with with promises and rewards. A tangible souvenir of sorts and one you hope the art buyers, creative directors and photo editors find pretty enough or strong enough visually, to post to their walls.
These are a few of my additional favorite images from the recent ad campaign of Kristinia Debarges for Babyphat / Teen Vogue.
Big shout out to the the crew over at Liquid Entertainment. They were kind enough to cut me an amazing promotional video of behind the scenes footage from this campaign as well as my past campaigns with Vanessa and Angela Simmons for Pastry.
