Portraits of Romain Vennat

2012-01-29T23:06:00.000-08:00

Another reason I'm itching to leave Dubai. We have a few amazing guys over here, but I've shot's them about a million times already - So when a guy like Romain comes into town I get really excited! He stayed here for a week and I was able to shoot him for Esquire and then for this project.

Romain, has just shot the latest Abercrombie and fitch Campaign with Bruce Webber which should be out in the next month or two. follow him on twitter @ROM1VENNAT and https://www.facebook.com/romain.vennat

My latest shoot - Portraits of a Girl with Model Suzanne W and Sonia merlo on Hair and Makeup

2011-11-06T21:54:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since my last Blogin escapades. I actually completely forgot that I even owned my own blog. With all these Social media options sometimes your your brain can get a little fried. Facebook Home pages, Facebook fan pages, Twitter, Vimeo, YouTube...oh and don't forget your own personal blog!

So yesterday I gathered a few girls and dragged them down to Hot and Cold Studios to test. It's been a while since i last shot something that I really wanted to shoot. I love B+W and to have the options of shooting the whole day in monochrome was amazing.

The Shot's I'm attaching now are of Suzanne W and the Makeup and Hair was done by Sonia Merlo.

NYC the City of Dreams

Well, I've just arrived back from a 7 day trip from NyC and I'm completely inlove with the place. Everyday I felt like I was in a movie.Here are a few quick shots I took with my ipod - Quality is a little low-res in some of the shots! Sorry!

the next few images are from my second day in the city. I was location hunting around my area in Williamsburg. It's actually quite hard location hunting in NY because everything is a possible location. Everynight I would sit at home going through the images and I found it really hard to select the perfect spot because everything works.

On my way to the Brooklyn Bridge ( location Hunting again) My 3rd day in the city and it was a rainy one. New Yorkers don't stop there lives for a bit of rain - you even see the odd one or two walking with out umbrellas.

And finally the lovely Brooklyn Bridge. After spending a half and hour under it taking pictures for love ones and putting me Myself and the brooklyn bridge up on FB I discovered that it's really the Manhattan bridge! Awesome!

...still the Manhattan bridge

And finally the real Brooklyn Bridge. I actually preferred the Manhattan bridge. The surrounding underneath it were more run down.

7th Ave - Fashion Ave - Beautiful spot. Will def be shooting there in September

I met up with my Friend Kat in Ny and her Daughter Olivia on the Left. Kat was in NY on holiday and she kindly offered to help me on all my shoots. Here she is going through Tattoo artists work for a piece she was getting on her Left Arm.

Coolest Tattoo spot I've ever been in! Playing White Zombie on Max!!!

Shame!

My second last day in NYc. I had to cancel my shoot due to the dam rain! This was shot at Penny's Diner in Metropolitan Ave, Willamsburg. Best Bacon, Ham, Sausage Omelets in town! Nice !

Love this location! We shot here on my last day. The flags are from Puerto Rico.

Give me a few more days and I'll have my shoots up on the blog. Besides the 3 shoots I also shot 3 small videos for my site.
