This was a special session with model Heidi Moijanen and assisted by make up artist Cemille Nismetdin.

This was a very enjoyable shoot with model Molla Mills. She effortlessly captured the 1930s vamp from whom all good wives hid their husbands. Molla is modeling an authentic 1937 silk “Liquid Midnight” dress. Hair and makeup was done by professional make up artist Lotta Eloranta with additional styling by Molla herself. And I had… Read More

When Gary asked me to do his promo pictures, he described his music as being very blue-collar in the vein of Springsteen. I knew immediately the perfect location: a factory on the outskirts of town. Unfortunately for us, it began to snow quite heavily and was cold – -12. But Gary was a trooper and… Read More

These images are of the lovely model Elyon. She braved the late Finnish Summer sun (11:00 pm) for wonderful shots at sunset. I tried to give her a variety of styles to show her versatility. All clothing in these shoots are antique (1890s) or vintage (1960s), from the shoes to the bustle cage under the… Read More

She was a pleasure to work with – exuberant and able to really bring emotion and zeal to her images. Here are a few of my favorites from this model. The objective of Ainsley’s shoot was to create very commercial images (as opposed to the more editorial high fashion look). Editorial shots tend to be… Read More

Two images from the session! David was a great model – he brought a lot to the shoot and was full of interesting ideas for stunning shots. It’s a pleasure to shoot when the photographer and model work collaboratively.
