On my way to a Father’s Day photoshoot with Papa Cas at @CoLabStudiosNYC, and ya mans brought out the Jesus piece today. If you ever wonder why I am slightly ridiculous, it is because it is in my DNA.

It’s amazing to see the beautiful work coming out of our Socials and for those of you who don’t know #thelightingsocial is a group learning lighting lesson that focuses on different types of lighting to refine our skills as a collective and to network with likeminded creatives

Shot today at #thelightingsocial at @CoLabStudiosNYC. We tested different lighting techniques to focus on various parts of the face for beauty shot. One of my favorite images I have created thus far!

@andreakcastillo @NeriahMc Appreciate you! 💙

[CoLab Studios @CoLabStudiosNYC]

@just_gwright @NeriahMc Ecstatic to see how the education transcends basic lighting but an understanding of your relationship to the subject and bringing out the versions of themselves

Photographers, what’s a book that has been really important for your growth as an artist.
I have two: The Photography Bible by Daniel Lezano and Licensing Photography by Richard Weisgrau

So I’ve been intentional about working with black women designers to create imagery to help elevate their brands and it’s been a real beautiful experience. Here’s some photos I shot with @TaiilorMade of a dress she co-designed with @sustainaheaux , taken at @CoLabStudiosNYC
