yesterday trekking around the east rand for an assignment i was on, my eyes wouldn’t leave this gentleman that was relaxing near one of the locations i was shooting at. i couldn’t help but be gravitated to how the color of his skin matched the paint at the bottom of the wall.. if i had submitted this image for my color theory class, im certain it would have warranted an A+ …. (at least in my mind).

who said corporate photos had to be boring and bland? even if they had to be, i wouldn’t know how to do it like that! heres a couple flicks from the fun i had with bradly williams of motif records giving me his most studious mannerisms. you can check out motif’s blog for updates and performance dates featuring their talented roster.

from the archives [2010]: davida’s moving away party

it feels like an eternity since my southern belle davida left me in brooklyn to fight the big apple all by myself… i missed her so much, I had to move to south africa.

4 year olds and their fabulous birthday celebrations are fun. 4 year olds and their fabulous birthday celebrations are even more fun when they love making funny faces and posing for my camera.

Old School Vibes [a house party]

conner — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 15:50:22 +0000

remember the 80’s? of course we do (well those of us over 30).. some of the best music, yet some of the worst clothes came out of that decade (same is true for the 90’s). the best thing about reminiscing on the 80’s in the 2011, is now we know better and can pick out the best & laugh at the worst! this house party was the best of all of it… i think it even gave brooklyn a run for it’s money on dope house parties.. hmmm.

one of the best things about my job is the varied personalities you encounter both big and small on a daily basis. sometimes you might want to laugh with them, sometimes they might almost make you cry, but sometimes… the biggest & brightest personalities come in the smallest packages. as my mother always told me “dynamite comes in small packages” and this young lady is sure to make a mark.

my recent engagement session with starr and anslem [might i add it was my first ever] has had a bit of excitement surrounding it. i wish i could say it was only my wonderfully awesome and amazing photography, but these two spunky creatives did all the work. the friendship & love that they have for each other would be easy for anyone to capture and a pleasure for anyone to see. thanks to them my images are now only essence.com in their “just engaged” section complete with the story of their journey to forever. take a look at the their journey here.
