Inspired by gemstone lore, a portrait that channels the mystical energy of opal and sapphire.

Amethyst has long symbolized intuition, spiritual clarity, and inner peace. Revered by mystics and monarchs alike, it is believed to calm the mind, ward off negativity, and connect the wearer to higher realms of consciousness. As a stone of the crown chakra, amethyst represents enlightenment, insight, and a quiet, luminous strength—making it a timeless emblem of both divine beauty and soulful power.

Portrait of the WBO Champion.

Beneath the precise geometry of light and skin, Lucy becomes the constant in a field of heat and stillness. The Scarlet Equation is a meditation on symmetry — how beauty, when distilled to its essential vectors, becomes an act of control. Every shadow resolves an emotion; every line holds a temperature.

Editorial portrait shot for The Flare Magazine of Steven Vowell, a Christian rapper whose faith has brought him back from the ruin of his form life. (The tattoos on his hands and arms are gang-related.)

Unleash your inner wild. Elegance isn’t about taming the spirit—it’s about letting your true colors shine through, bold and unapologetic. When confidence meets instinct, every glance becomes a statement and every step a stride of power. #WildAtHeart #LeopardessInVogue #FierceFashion #UntamedElegance #RunwayWild #LeopardPrint #FashionEditorial #BoldBeauty #FearlessFemininity #HighFashion #EditorialPortrait

Sorry for not being present much this week, it's been an EXTREMELY busy week, I'm exhausted.

This is from a session where we had to shoot an editorial portrait to accompany an imagined magazine article about this imagined actress known for her quirky roles. This is the one I'm turning in. Unfortunately we wanted the background dark, I meant to bring some deep red sheer curtains but couldn't find them...DOH! We were too lazy to put up a black background, kept working the lights to get what we wished for, but failed.

Lesson learned, don't be lazy!

In the glow of magenta haze, Anna becomes the centerpiece of a neon symphony—poised, powerful, and untouchable. Neon Nocturne captures the rhythm of light and shadow in its most alluring form.
