This week I got the chance to go behind the scenes with a talented friend of mine, Monica Henriquez on her beach editorial shoot which actually ended up getting published on Vogue Italia! 

I got the opportunity to photograph the model as well, hopefully being able to show you all that style and execution vary from photographer to photographer. 

Check it out and let me know what you think!

3 Photographers Shoot the Same model

This week I take Jessica Kobeissi's 3 photographers shoot the same model challenge and shoot it out against 3 very talented photographers: Patrick Park and Nigel Tanabe

Model of the day: Matt Maddox

The challenge was very impromptu and we were very limited with space/wardrobe/time but overall it was a blast. Having to think on your feet, knowing that your time was quickly running out is a skill I want to further develop for those unexpected moments that occur during a photoshoot.  There's not much else to say, if you haven't tried the challenge give it a shot, and let me know in a comment below how it went OR tag me in your photos/video. I'd love to see how you did. BELOW you can see the photos we took and at the bottom you can click to watch our youtube video.

The Truth Behind Jessica Kobeissi

Jessica Kobeissi  is a self taught fashion photographer based out of Detroit. She runs a youtube channel where she takes you on a journey through her photographic career, giving tips, tricks, and techniques along the way.  

I want to first preface by giving her a big shout-out and thank you not only for taking the time out of her busy schedule to film this, but for being a good mentor and friend. As someone who is on a similar path to her, I have found many challenges and questions that only someone with more experience could answer. 

What was supposed to be a quick shoot ended up being a day filled with adventure, drama, and MURDER! 

Right after the shoot was done, we all grabbed a quick bite to eat I gave Jessica and Irene a ride to their Air bnb only to discover that there were police all around and the entire block was closed off. Apparently there had been a shooting on their block. Not only that but the shooter was still running around with a gun!

Jessica actually vlogged about it, you can check it out here -> Jessica's vlog

Irene ended up missing her flight back to Canada, Jessica's stylist was in the air bnb right next door to the shooting and we ended up going to the movies and getting nutella pancakes. 

Everybody in our group was ok, thankfully, all's well that ends well.
