Anyone who thinks models are shallow or elitist has never met or worked with a model like Anna. Despite being young, she has her head on straight and is more professional than many people twice her age. This was shot in my studio with hair and makeup by Marissa Cavalluzzi. I think Womanizer was playing on the Top 40 station for the about the 5th time that afternoon....
For booking, contact Wendy at Red Models.
I get so bored by the typical backstage photos from fashion shows. "Hey, models, look here and smile...." Wide angle lens, models smiling, on-camera flash. Ugh. So I was excited when a European client hired me to shoot backstage at some of the SS09 men's shows at Fashion Week in New York. I'm proud of this work, and it was great to meet a lot of the models and the people that make the shows go off so well.

This is one of my favorite portraits of the year. Sascha is with Red in New York and this was shot backstage at Pier 92 in New York during the IMG shows in July. If you want to see some of the other work Sascha did this year, click here.
It's great when good things happen to good people. After being discovered on the streets of New York a year ago by George Brown, Salieu morphed from an uncertain newbie to a confident, experienced veteran. He's shot so many jobs this year I've lost track, but if you walked by a Benetton this fall, you probably saw his face staring back at you. I was lucky to have shot Salieu within days of being discovered, and our paths have crossed several times this year. Here are two of my favorites.
I was happy this past year to make friends with Jason and Belle at Major, and to get to shoot a couple new faces for them. Here are one each of Alex, CJ, and Brian.
Francesco is another model that I've had the pleasure to work with a couple times. This was shot in my upstate studio with a wardrobe by Calvin Klein and Cabelas. What a mix lol.
